Summary: Are they still witing this awful stuff?
Review: The most boring thing I've read in a long time. Two perfect people having a perfect romance. Skipped over a lot to get to the end which is slightly better than the rest.

Summary: A Heartwarming love story
Review: There is always first love that you will remember for a lifetime; A first love that can never be replaced. For Noah Calhoun it is no different. He will long remember Allie Nelson, the girl he fell in love with in one beautiful summer.
Little does he know now soon to be married Allie has come for a last visit to see her lost love. What happens between them though is surely something neither of them expected. But have dreamed of for so long. The return of a memory once left behind creates a magical moment that neither one of them imagined. When the end is finally near the miracle of love will defy all.
Most people would say that this is a book for hopeless romantics. But I'm not most people, nor am I a hopeless romantic. This book is meant to be inspirational and uplifting. While showing you the power of love and hope you see that anything is possibel.

Summary: Cry me a river, literally.
Review: I can see why this was on the NY Bestseller list for as long as it was. It's beautifully written for Sparks' first book, and is one of my favorites. It's terribly sad though, so keep a box of tissues handy. I would say if you're a fan of Sparks and haven't read this one yet, it is definitely worth your time.

Summary: The Notebook
Review: This was one of the most contrived plots I've ever read. My bookclub picked this book and A Bend in the Road. Both books were so predictable. I won't read another Nicholas Sparks again.

Summary: Poorly written sap
Review: Sentiment is a good thing, and even when a story gets a little sappy, a good writer can make it into a thing of beauty. THE NOTEBOOK, unfortunately, was not blessed with a particularly good writer. The plot is very thin, the "suspense" is not suspenceful, and the writing itself...ouch. Sparks has quite a following, but his work isn't even good enough to be considered escape reading; it's too full of distracting bad grammar, etc, etc. If you must read it, get this one from the library.

Summary: My favorite book
Review: This is the most powerful love story I have ever read. From the moment I picked it up I could't put it down until I was finished. I told all of my friends about it, they read it, loved it. I will never forget this book and the emotion of the life like characters.

Summary: The ending spoils it
Review: I read this book after reading the author's other romance 'A Walk to Remember', and I was a tad disappointed.First, let me tell you that I am a 24-year-old male, not your typical romance reader. Yet, I always like a romance that pulls hard at my heart strings, but 'The Notebook' just didn't do it for me. Don't get me wrong. The story is beautiful, the telling even more so. I would give an arm and a leg to be in love the way Noah and Allison were. I love poetry, and it was my very first true love who introduced me to that beautiful world of words. Then I had to be away from her, in a different country, in a different continent, for a long time. And I did try to go back and find her, and I did succeed. The relit flame, though, was soon put out by a cruel wind. So, yes, the story does appeal to me very deeply. Yet, there's something missing. I didn't cry much. But worst of all, the ending was a major let down. I don't want to spoil it for you by telling you what the ending is, but I can tell you that it is quite disappointing. It really does spoil the mood. Overall, the book is a good read if you are in the mood for an old fashioned tale of love, parting, re-union, agony and bliss. If the ending was different, I would have given it 5 stars.

Summary: Excellent read!!
Review: This has got to be one of the best books I have ever read. I can see Paul Newman and his wife doing this as a movie. I read it in one sitting and then gave it to my mom. I have hope this story could really happen and it will really warm your heart.
