The Notebook

Rating:
Summary: A nice change !!!!!
Review: While I may not be a literary genious, I truly enjoyed this book. This was not an unrealistic story as was the story of my own grandparents. Those who are skepitcal about "true love" and "In sickness and in health" will not appreciate this book, for those who have lived it, a must read novel. It inspires hope of "forever". I enjoyed this book and have passed it on.

Summary: A true believer
Review: To place this book into a romance category is to falsely misinterpret it's meaning. The Notebook should have it's own shelves in every book store and library because it is a rare masterpiece. I am a big reader and i vow that by reading The Notebook all your needs will be met along with your expectations.

Summary: A Wonderful Love Story!
Review: This has to rank among my favorite books of all time. Never before have I had any book touch me in this way. I cried for the last one-hundred pages. Definitely read this book if you want to be swept away in a heartwarming love story.

Summary: An enchanted avenue to romance...
Review: It is hard to believe that Nicolas Sparks has created not one, but two intriguing love stories.(and he's a man! Not to set stereotypes or anything!) Sparks' writing style is uncomplicated and quite enjoyable. "The Notebook" is a quick, insightful read. The book communicates the essence of true love, which should not be taken for granted...if only it was that simple. I do not recommend reading this particular story if you are not a romantic at heart.

Summary: A book for people with a heart!
Review: This book was among one of few English books I can find where I live. It was the best find I could ever hope for. The story was heartwarming and uplifting. In it's few pages it had me sobbing one moment and laughing outload the next. It was wonderful. Pure and simple. It touched basic emotions and I can't wait to read it again.

Summary: a book so passionate that it cuts deep into your soul !!!!!
Review: Man! What a book!!! I thoroughly enjoyed reading the "notebook". The lyrical beauty and honesty reflected by Nicholas Sparks is too wonderful to be described. As I read the book, it was not only a love story but also a beautiful reminder for everyone to appreciate the simple things in life.

Summary: A Story About True Love
Review: This book is about a man who really loves a woman. He will do anything for her. She loves him too but her life and his life do not match because she lives in the city and he lives in the county. They both had completly differnt life styles. They shared an incredible summer together and they will never forget that, but she has to leave him and they don't know if they will ever see each other agian. I enjoyed this book, but i thought it was kind of slow. It took forever to get the point across, but other then that the book was very romatic. I recommend this book to people who enjoy reading love stories because this is a book about true love. I think this book was worth reading because it was interesting, even though i thought it was slow some of the parts just wants you to keep on reading the book.

Summary: A Stupid LIttle Sob Story
Review: I read this silly little volume as I was being driven from New Hampshire to Montreal. I should have thrown it off the Champlain Bridge, but I didn't want to get arrested for polluting the St. Lawrence River. This book is unrealistic and sappy, and, although I am a romantic, this story just didn't ring true. What happened to the great literature of our time? And this pathetic book is on the bestseller lists?

Summary: Great tear-jerker
Review: I read this book for my college literature class (don't ask me why). We had a debate at the end of the course as to whether this was really literature. About 75% of the class said it was and the other quarter, denied any connection between Shakespeare and Sparks. It is a sentimental story and is great if you like that mushy-gushy type romance.

Rating:
Summary: Not exactly literature, but a wonderful great escape
Review: I don't think anyone is going to confuse Nicholas Sparks and Shakespeare, but reading this warm tender romance is a perfect way to spend an afternoon. Although the book is predictable and sticky sweet, I truly enjoyed becoming lost in the North Carolina landscape and dreaming that I could be with a man like Noah. People who think this is a low grade of literature should stop fooling themselves into thinking that literature is so cut and dry. Kudos to Nicholas Sparks for keeping America reading.
