Summary: An unrealistic, laughable book
Review: A co-worker leant me this book and I alloted a night for it-it didn't even take me that long! I couldn't believe the characters, the situations, and most of all, the dialogue. I am in love and would make sacrifices--I only hope that my love will never be as cliche and ridiculous as this book!

Summary: 1 word: pedantic
Review: This book was so poorly written that it was difficult to read. (Nicholas Sparks, if you're reading this, I'm sorry.) I could have written something better, more entertaining, and more subtle when I was about 8. I cannot understand what sort of publishing house would actually produce such an amateur attempt. I am reading Sparks's second novel, Message in a Bottle (or was it his first???), figuring that perhaps The Notebook was just a fluke. I must say, it is better, however a glaring lack of subtlety must be Sparks's trademark. But go ahead and read it - it will only take an hour or so.

Summary: Gripping, Heart warming book
Review: This book is perfect if you love a good, clean, love story. It has a few love scenes but is so tasteful and wonderful that it will warm your heart and make you love your significant other even more.
Rating:
Summary: a really good book!
Review: i just find myself in love with Noah right after i finished the book. This book of Nicholas is really very touching. It tells us how real love is like and how love can even bring miracle to the world. I cried very hard when I read this book, especially when i read the last letter that Allie wrote to Noah!

Summary: Beautiful and Captivating
Review: Nicholas Sparks captivates the hearts of all who read this beautiful love story. I can only hope to experience love that stunning in my lifetime, and I could only dream of savoring each day in nature the way Noah Calhoun does. This is the most spectacular novel I have ever read. Nicholas Sparks is to be congratulated on this novel which epitomizes the true essensce of love.

Summary: Touching at times, but far too predictable
Review: Watch out Harlequin! This book reminded me of those ridiculous grocery store checkout romances I read in Junior High. Although the book is so short, it took me over a month to read it. The plot was non-existent and the characters were cardboard cut-outs. The dialogue became so cheesy at times that I had to put the book down lest I puke. I kept hoping it would get better but it never did. It did have a few touching moments, but overall this was a very disappointing read.

Summary: This is a sweet escape and thoughtful look to the future
Review: I love how Allie handles her future once she knows what it is. Noah's support, love and strength in knowing that all will change forever is an inspiration. I hope to remember this book should I ever be faced with the same diagnosis!

Summary: I loved it--a quick read--a four Kleenex-er!!
Review: This story was so sweet. We've worn out the book passing it around in our office. We all loved it!

Summary: Wonderful
Review: I picked up this book at my parents thinking it would not be very good. I was wrong. This was one of the best books I have read all year. I cried over the last 50 pages. No other book has made me do that. It was such a wonderful book that I want everyone I know to read it. It may be sad but the love story was inspiring. It would be nice if people could find a fraction of the love that Noah and Allie shared. Don't think twice about buying this book. You will want to read this one over and over.

Summary: A good vacation read, very romantic, but sophmoric
Review: Sparks tells a story that tugs at your heart strings, and can easily be read in a day, but this could have been a real, and more interesting novel if he'd taken the time and effort to develop the heroine and expand on her motivations.
