The Notebook

Summary: This is what love is about...
Review: No more than any of our own stories are perfect examples of living, this novel doesn't HAVE to be a masterpiece of literature. I don't believe that was the author's main intent in writing this book. This is a tender and passionate story of a deep, true, unselfish, and enduring love. It is a moving reminder of what love can be like with the right person, that if one follows one's heart, rich treasures may be found. This book sat on my shelf for months waiting for its chance to be read. Had I any idea I'd finish it in two sittings, I'd have read it sooner. You can't please all of the people all of the time, but millions and millions of readers prove that although there is a place on the bookshelf for "perfect" literature(which is sometimes boring and often read because assigned to do so), "The Notebook" stirs the emotions and hits readers in places that some of the classics will never touch.

Summary: Ladies Home Journal rises again.
Review: If I bothered to write a thoughtful review, I would be expending more effort and thought than the book's author. Was this a high school English homework assignment?

Summary: A TRUE LOVE STORY
Review: Anyone who has ever fallen in love and then lost that love can truely relate to this story. This book is for those who believe they have lost the love that was "meant to be." I am still searching for my lost love, and this story gives me a renewed sense of hope that someday I will find my true love, because I know he is everything my memories make him out to be.

Summary: This is the most romantic heartfelt story ever.
Review: This book is the most romantic, heartfelt novel I have ever read. Noah and Allie, a love that surpasses any fairytale. Noah and Allie, the Romeo and Juliet of today. This book made me cry and laugh and wish that I could someday experience a love so genuine, a love so true, a love so beautiful words could not describe. But Nicholas Sparks did a wonderful job of describing a feeling so powerful, that you feel for the characters. I recommend this book to anyone who have ever loved another person, loved by another person, or need proof that true love still exists. :) MizMya

Summary: here's what i think...
Review: obviously if you've read all these reviews and are all the way down to mine, you'll have noticed that people either love or hate this book. there are few in between. the people who love it are the ones who haven't been reading great litereature for a very long time. they have a different point of view. they are able to appreciate it because they can understand it and it is within their realm of understanding. the people who are able to read the more intricate writers and who are able to understand them are the ones who think that this book is a piece of trash. it's all relative.
