Rating: Summary: UNBELIEVABLE Review: THIS BOOK GIVES ME HOPE THAT I, TOO, COULD WRITE A BEST SELLER. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME.
Rating: Summary: Best love story ever written! Review: The Notebook made me cry more than The Prince of Tides...and I thought that was hard!! I can compare the love story to the one told in the current Titanic. Same effect, cried for hours afterwards, and I still can't talk about the book or even think about it without my eyes getting misty. The story of Noah and Allie is timeless, and if I had one wish for humanity, it would be that every person experience the love that these two people felt for each other. I know that I will read this book over and over again, and will probably wind up giving it to my grandchildren!!
Rating: Summary: Touching, we should all experience that kind of love! Review: Very touching story. I cried several times during and at the end. An excellant, well written book. I was expecting it to be longer, this book is not a short story but not lengthy novel. It took me only a few short hours to read. I was disappointed when I was finished as I was not ready to stop reading. Despite the shortness, this book moved me like no other I have read.
Rating: Summary: Incredible! Review: Anyone who gave this book a low rating either doesn't have a heart or isn't a true romantic. I read this book over a weekend and could not put it down! I was still crying a half hour after finishing it. This book has been passed around to my friends and they all feel the same way. Call it trite without much "stuff", but it's still nice to know that true love always wins.
Rating: Summary: Heart-felt love story for the ages. Review: Based on his wife's grandparents, Nicholas Sparks most generously shares this timeless tale of passion and true love. As the modest eyes of Noah Calhoun takes the trip through the peaks and valleys of his soul-deep romance with Allie Nelson, your heart will be drawn in with tears, laughs and understanding. Sparks has crafted an elegant homage here to an almost mythical love between two very special people. And the spiritual uplifting of this fascinating romantic journey strikes ever closer to the heart as its principals' perseverance survives the test of time. Not merely survives, but flourishes magnificently, never failing to inspire others in the tale, as it will the engrossed reader. Give your own heart a Valentines Day gift by warming it over this very real yarn spun of these two soul mates. I can't conceive of a more beautiful way to celebrate love and life.
Rating: Summary: True love itself Review: I cried my heart out because it reminded me so much of my boyfriend and me. No matter how old you are, when your true love comes, you have to go for it... Allie realized that just in time, her one true love was Noah, who was also her first love... The last part was totally powerful, and sad, it leaves you thinking about it... First thing I did after reading it, was buy it (it was borrowed): I fell in love with this book, for me it's the kind of book which when you need it, you just open it, read a bit and feel better. This IS true love, it's a beautiful book, simply written, but that's what makes it so unforgettable, because it feels real, but most of all because it feels GOOD.
Rating: Summary: Best I've read all year (and I've read alot!) Review: I've been reading the pages upon pages of customer reviews, and find it so hard to believe that most either rated this a "1" or a "10". This story touched my heart in a way that I never expected. I read all the classics, and many of the bestsellers currently out (I work in a library so tend to read much of the new stuff we get, and found that nothing even compared. I guess I wasn't trying to compare it to anything like so many others were doing. I judge all books individually. There is no comparison! I am eagerly waiting for Mr Sparks new book in April!
Rating: Summary: not your run-of-the-mill affair... Review: Read the Notebook in 55 minutes. devouring each luscious word. Knew from the second noah wrote allie about 10,000 years, they were destined to be together. Read in paperback, and enjoyed the texture of the cover itself. I know, now, the meaning of perfect love and the feeling of being home.
Rating: Summary: Ohhh to believe that true love like this really does exist! Review: I was fortunate to have a short lived experience such as Noah and Allie back in the '70's. Unfortunately, my husband passed away leaving me with a wonderful gift - our son. I have remarried and again found love and have a daughter. I felt every emotion possible when I read this book. I truly believe that if you meet that special person - you will know - that he/she is the one for you.
Rating: Summary: Best book my wife ever read Review: My wife loved this book and wanted me to put in a few comments for her and I quote: "I got very angry at some of the comments that these people said. Who could rate this book a 1. I guess these people don't really know what real love is. It is a shame there can't be more relationships in real life like the one described in the book. This was the greatest book I have ever read. I have the same special feeling about my relationship. I really hope it remains the same as I grow old."
