Summary: A beautiful love story which is hard to come by...
Review: This is a book that pulls you in from the start and by the end you don't want to let go. It's a simple love story and I cried through the entire last chapter. It's one of those books that allows you to feel as if you are right there with the characters. The letters written by the characters show just how much love they had for each other. Two friends told me that I had to read it and I'm glad I did!

Summary: Wonderful insights into the trials of aging
Review: Sparks shows great sensitivity to the problems of aging in this engaging romantic tale of deep love. Through this book and his subsequent novel, Messages in a Bottle, he renews interest and enthusiasm for letter and journal writing. Both are great books to curl up with- just realize your legs will go numb because you won't be able to put either book down.

Summary: A book that will simply tug at your heart strings.
Review: I have never read such a great book that made me feel more happy or more sad at the same time. I couldn't put the book down, once I started reading it, I just couldn't wait to see what was going to happen next. I absolutely loved this book, I will definitely buy Nicholas Sparks next book.

Summary: I really wanted to like it.
Review: It sounded like something I would like. Really, it did. However, I found the plot hard to follow and there wasn't that much of a story there to begin with. I'm now trying to get interested in Message in a Bottle, and I'm having the same trouble with it. I'm wondering what all the fuss over Sparks is about and just what kind of motion pictures can come from either of the novels.

Summary: Empty and meaningless....
Review: It is obvious while reading THE NOTEBOOK that Nick Sparks agonized painfully over ever word he typed, that every sentence was a struggle in his simplistic mind. I've stepped in rainpuddles that weren't as shallow as his characters. Each character lives more in the past than in the present, and I personally found it hard to swallow that two people that met at age 15 for a month or two during the summer could wait almost 15 more years hoplessly in love with each other. And when they DO get together, they spend all their time "remembering" those summer months. I love a good romance, but this was just sickening. I reccomend reading it only because it is so bad, it's hard to believe. His second book was even worse...

Summary: Great for anyone with or searching for a soul-mate.
Review: What a joy to have found this book. It is great for anyone who has found their soul-mate or anyone who is still searching for one. I loved the book, the author was so sensitive, very nicely done.Thank you.

Summary: Unusual story of a deep love; reminds me of my in-laws!
Review: Not for the hard hearted (unless you still yearn deep inside to find your soul mate). It's about the things that really matter and doing the right thing and the pain and joys of feeling that kind of love. My in laws story is similar, (WWII kept them apart for years) and I find them so inspiring. Cynics will hate it or laugh, those who have found a soulmate or long for one will love it and cry at the thought of losing something that special and hopefully be inspired to find and keep deep, committed love in their own lives.

Summary: fabulous love story
Review: I was amazed at how much I loved this book after reading all the horrible customer reviews that it received on this website. I fell completely in love with Allie and Noah and couldn't put the book down. I would highly recommend for anyone who wants to still believe that love conquers all.

Summary: Very Worthwhile!
Review: I am very surprised at the variety of response this book has inspired. It is a very, very touching book and has reminded me of the value of humanlife and our short time we have to appreciate it. Stick with it past the first 10 pages and you won't be disappointed.
