The Notebook

Rating:
Summary: This really hits you where you live if you are older.
Review: How could Nicholas Sparks possibly know what it is like to see yourself and your spouse deteriorate with age? This book made me cry so much I had to put it down often to get control of myself. I look around and see all our friends, and us, struggling to live with a myriad of physical and mental problems like Noah and Allie. So, forget the romance, which is lovely, and read this book for the insight about ageing.

Summary: Great read
Review: This book was a great read for everyone out there who who is intelligent enough to know that every book you read doesn't have to be in the same league as Shakespeare. I feel sorry for the people who said this book was too sticky sweet. SO WHAT! Make your dentist appointment read it and stop patting yourself on the back and thinking your a literary critic. If so you just mind find that you actually do have a heart. Kudos to Sparks for writting something that makes the American public feel good. We need more of it.

Summary: passionate, tender, heart-warming
Review: I LOVED THIS BOOK!!! I would have to label this as my very favorite! It touches every piece of the human soul, and it proves that true love really does exist for all time.

Summary: Just awful: one star is too generous!
Review: Yeucch!! I forced myself to plow through this sugary mess because a friend loaned it to me. Lousy, stilted writing; characters thin and slick as magazine ads; not much in the way of a plot. Brevity was this book's sole virtue. Publishers, please: put a Harlequin sticker on this sort of thing so it isn't mistaken for literature.

Summary: A tear can't touch this: get the tissues ready!!
Review: I have visited New Bern many times and to see the city come to life and the story of love take such pivotal turns just makes it impossible to put the book down. I read the entire thing in 2 hours. Well worth the $6 for all of those people who seem to lack a heart or any sense of emotion. This love story beats anything I have ever read, including Romeo and Juliet. Sparks is a master of emotion, both male and female. How often do you find a man who can write both sides of the gender. All I know is I would love to be Alli (all but the illness part )and I am forever in search of Noah!!

Summary: A story of love that will make you cry and keep you in awe.
Review: I have never cried at something I have either read or watched before in my life. This has to be the best book I have ever read, and beats any movie I have ever seen! I checked the book out of the library and then I went out and bought if for myself. I'm reading it again and now so are all my friends!!

Summary: I CRIED SO HARD I COULDN'T SEE THE WORDS ON THE PAGE
Review: This is a wonderful book to read if you're into stories about the trials and tribulations of life and love. If you allow yourself to get into it, you really start to feel the pain and happiness of the characters. It's not long at all and it's an amazing book!

Rating:
Summary: One of the most tear-jerking novel I've ever read.
Review: A wonderful and moving novel. This book can touch your heart in a way you've never felt before. If you have always believed in true love and never-ending love ....this book is definitely for you.

Rating:
Summary: Should be 0 stars.
Review: Predictable and lame, this is a weekend laptop turnout from an author who expects success. Why is it given to him? Are best seller readers so infantile that they will accept cheap writing at $6.95 a pop? Total waste of time. Don't read if you have any education or self-respect.

Summary: Excellent!!.One of the best love stories I've ever read.
Review: "The Notebook" by Nicholas Sparks is by far one of the best love stories I've ever read. It is a story of love and devotion between a man and a woman that will not die no matter who tries to stop it. The love everyone wants to find,complete with the expected tears in a romance novel.
