The Notebook

Rating:
Summary: A Wonderful Book I will never forget
Review: I don't know what is wrong with people who don't love this book! I guess people just think a romance novel is supposed to be full of sex and more sex. This was tastefully written and Mr.Sparks is a great author. The ending was so touching I cried and cried. It was not unrealistic, it was beautiful.

Summary: Excellent!
Review: My friend told me about this book... she loved it and so did I. It's a must-read for anyone who has forgotten what true love essentially means. Uterly amazing...

Summary: Mr. Sparks - aren't you embarrassed?
Review: This thing (I hesitate to call it a novel) is a gooey mess. Allie and Noah were totally unrealistic (except for their very real diseases) -one could find better character development in a comic strip (remember Nancy and Sluggo?). I've always wanted to write a novel but feared rejection. Thank you, Mr. Sparks - I've changed my mind!

Summary: Excellent book! It was so romantic and sweet.
Review: The book is so inspiring and it shows that real love really can occur in a world as harsh as ours it's comforting. It is a wonderful love story.

Summary: I can't believe people actually think this book is great!!
Review: A friend told me to read this book (she loved it)and it just so happened that I had received a book store gift certificate for Christmas that I was dying to spend on a new, good book! What a disappointment! I want my certificate back!! I thought this book was the worst book I have ever read! I love romance and I believe in true love, but this gagged me so bad. It was horribly written and was so boring....I will not read another thing this guy writes. I won't even see the movie, "A message in a Bottle". I can only imagine how unrealistically sappy it is and I certainly don't want to find out.

Summary: Poignant
Review: As I finished reading The Notebook, I cried like a baby. My husband walked into the room and just looked at me. This story holds special meaning for he and I because we have grown up with severely terminal illnesses in our families. The book completely encompasses what 'true love' and marriange vows are all about. I would encourage anyone considering marriage to read this first. If you could be the one sitting in the chair...you are ready!

Summary: A love story one can only dream about
Review: Nicholas Sparks' The Notebook was simply amazing. This is a beautifully written love story that only happens in the movies-or in a book in this case. The feelings that this book evokes can not be put into words. Reading this book makes you long to be in another's arms feeling safe and secure. I recommend this book to everyone-especially those who are hopeless romantics.

Summary: Dick and Jane Fall In Love
Review: I am very depressed that this book is on the bestsellers list...(who can one believe?) I would recommend this book to no-one...the writing is just plain BAD

Summary: I Cried!!!!!!!
Review: I thoroughly enjoyed this book. As I was reading the book there were parts in it where i actually cried as i was reading. That has never happened to me before. I felt the characters so vividly. And whispered a pray for God to send me such a man. The only part is ifeel it ended to quickly, there was more. I wanted to know how he felt when she was her self that amazing time it left me hanging, which i feel the writer wanted to do.

Summary: Beautiful love story
Review: I enjoyed this story very much...short and sweet. I did feel though that the prelude to the ending was a bit drawn out. I don't feel that we needed to know so much about Allie's disease. The ending made up for this though. It was very beautiful. A must-read for anyone who believes in soul mates.
