The Notebook

Rating:
Summary: This book was awful - sappy and sophomoric
Review: Nicholas Sparks(aka. Noah) might be a poetry reader, but he surly is not a poetry writer. The writing is dull, pendandic,and downright boring. The whole book is so simplistic I am appalled at what the good reviews it has received say about the American reading public.

Summary: Really Beautiful Book
Review: A thoughtful and beautiful tale told from a man's perspective through the thick and thin of his relationship. Makes you believe in happily ever after again.

Summary: One of the best reads EVER!!!
Review: I read this book in almost 1 day, and cried for the last 60 pages or so. The book brings so much emotion to the text. The basis of the story, with every encounter of their life in the Notebook is a wonderful idea to remember every moment of your life with someone. The book is a wonderful book!!!!

Summary: Loving through the years
Review: A real page turner on how Noah's love for Allie continues even when they are separated and reunited. It's nice to know that a man sticks by you and loves you even as Altzeimers attacks Allie. In good and bad till death do they part sums it up best.

Summary: A wise investment
Review: This is one of the best books I have read. The writing is so vivid and passionate. I have passed it on to five others and they whole-heartedly agree. Thank you Nicholas.

Summary: An exceptional tale of never ending love.
Review: "You are, and always have been, my dream." What a powerful tale of undying love..... if only we could all experience a love as Noah and Allie did. To see such passion through the eyes of a man ..... as both the main character and the writer.... I had tears in my eyes throughout the whole book. I have read Message In A Bottle also and am looking forward to Nicholas Sparks' next novel.

Summary: I don't get what the BIG DEAL is?!?!?!?
Review: I love romance stories....I love tales of triumph...I love stories of lost loves found.... I love happy endings.....But, I didn't love this book, I found this book to be most of the time very boring and predictable....

Rating:
Summary: ...an unforgettable tale of the persistence of love...
Review: Sparks creates an unforgettable tale of the persistence of love in a unique style that anyone can enjoy. Through this story of reunited childhood friends, Sparks creates characters and emotions that are genuine, rather than polished. This is not your ordinary inflated love story, but rather one that truly captures the magical bond between two people.

Rating:
Summary: wonderful!!!!!
Review: This book was wonderful. I yearn for that kind of love and I was so enraptured by the story that i could not put the book down for 2 hours. I would recommend it to anyone who is tired of cynicism and dry wit. A great love story, plain and simple.

Summary: A Heartwarming and Inspirational Story
Review: Nicholas Sparks seems to have cornered the market in tapping into a woman's heart. A great romantic and uplifting story. I think Sparks and D.M. Roman (the author of Fried Calamari which shows great insight into a woman's mind and desires) are the best current authors.
