Summary: The Notebook 11/06/03
Review: The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks is a good book! It portrays a love that holds two lives in its spell through time. Though it lacked in substance & character depth, it was very detailed which made it easy reading. This book proves that love is the key, and with it you can concur all. I recommend this book to everyone, especially to those who have been in a long relationship. This book will help you express emotion that's been kept bottled up inside of you. The second part is the most meaningful becuase it points out that you should live your life to the fullest with the ones you love because one day all might be forgotten.

Summary: timeless love story
Review: As a first time Nicholas Sparks reader, I was very impressed with The Notebook. It is a timeless love story between two very passionate people, Noah and Allie, who once again find love after fourteen years of separation. Snags catch their hearts though, one being that Allie is currently engaged to a dependable lawyer whom she does love, but not like Noah. Throughout the novel the reader is left with the question of who Allie chooses and must read to the very last chapter to find out the ending to the story. Almost fairy-tale like in nature, the story proves how resilient love can be. If you're looking for a romantic love story, and don't mind a novel that plays with your emotions, The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks is a great place to start. I will definitely read some more of Sparks' books after the wonderful experience I had with this one.

Summary: Lovely Love
Review: The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks is a bit of a different spin on a sweet love story. By starting it off at the end and making the whole thing a reflection of past events, it places a different spin on what is definitely not just another love story. While the main focus, obviously, is romantic love, Sparks touches on other topics such as loss, the value of dreams, and the power of emotion. Sparks beautifully crafts this novel into a remarkable tapestry of the feelings and thoughts of the characters. When a high school summer sweetheart haunts Noah Calhoun's thoughts since the day she left, he probably never expected to be reunited with that very ghost from his past. The girl from his past, Allie, is a beautiful woman... with a fiancée. Through the whole reunion and the later ordeals, the reader is allowed in the world of the characters; their emotions and thoughts help build the story.

Having only read one other book by Nicholas Sparks, I was unsure what to expect. I had read A Walk to Remember earlier and did not particularly enjoy the style of that particular novel. The story itself was good, but I did not like the way Sparks told it. I know that many did enjoy the novel, so I decided to read another book by Sparks to see if I had missed something. Apparently I had because The Notebook is heartfelt novel that I genuinely enjoyed.

Summary: The Notebook
Review: The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks, fantastic book!! I would advise anyone to read it. It starts off in a nursing home, a little strange for a romance story. Then the end of the book returns to the nursing home which explains it all. This is the story of a man and woman who experience something so powerful, so real they never forget it. All throughout their daily lives they looked for that certain aspect in every individual they dated, but sadly they could not find it. Until one day Allie spots where Noah is and she heads off in his direction. They meet and sparks fly. Who does Allie chose? her fiancé or her one true love. You'll have to read and see!! Great book!

Summary: The Notebook
Review: Everyone, doesn't matter who, we all read books at one time or another. Whether you have someone read it to your or you read it yourself, you have heard one. I'm here to tell you about a certain book I read. The book is called The Notebook. The author of The Notebook is Nicholas Sparks.
The main characters in The Notebook are Noah and Allie. Noah is very kind, sensative, strong, hardworking, and he is also a poet. Allie is very outgoing, kind, has a sense of humor, and is intelegent. The two meet one summer when Allie comes to North Carolina where Noah lived on summer vacation. They meet at a fair when their friends introduce them. Immediatly they hit it off. They spent the whole summer together, and very much liked each other. They both lost their virginity that summer. Although Allie's mother didn't like her and Noah being together Allie ignored her mother's wishes and continued to see him anyway. Sometimes she would even sneak out to see him. The summer came to an end and Allie had to go back home. Noah tried sending Allie letters but he never got one back so eventually he just stopped sending them. Fourteen years later Noah was restoring an old home and it was posted in the newspaper. Allie saw it two weeks before she was about to get married and decided she had to see him again. So she went to visit him and told her soon to be husband ,Lon,that she just had to get away and go shopping or something, and he let her go. Allie and Noah fell very much in love all over again, but when it was time for Allie to return home she was faced with a very difficult decision. She did come to a decision though, and spent the rest of her life with the man she very deeply loved. A love so great that nothing could tear it apart, even a love to create a miracle.
Literary elements used in The Notebook are Imagery because its almost like you were there when you were reading it. How the author describes the beautiful place they were in you can almost imagine yourself there. It also had a Surprise ending which I thought was very interesting with how everything worked out in the book.
I think this book was really good. I would recomend it to someone who likes love storys. I thought the ending was extremely good and it couldn't have been better.
Now that you have an idea about The Notebook, you should read it. It's very interesting and is one of the best books I have ever read.

Summary: Short, but an amazing story
Review: This is the second of Nicholas Sparks' books that I had read, and it vastly surpassed the first. I had read "A Walk to Remember" before, and while the story in that one was touching, the writing was juvenile and I just didn't care for it. Nevertheless I decided to read this one, and I'm glad I did. I have never cried so much from a book before. It isn't terribly accurate about the medical end of things, but if I wanted that I'd pick up a textbook. Its a powerful, albeit short, story of the power of love and what it could do for another. I would definately read this book again in the future, and think that anyone who has read another Sparks book should give this one a try.
