The Notebook

Rating:
Summary: Very stirring, will remain with you for a very long time.
Review: The story is very charming, but what grabbed me was the sad and lonely way this journey had to end. The lesson is to live your life to fullest, and don't forget what's most important - the people you love.

Summary: Not the best book I have ever read, but.....
Review: I am male, 53 and have been married over 30 years to the same wonderful woman. I thought we were in love. This book shows me, we have a long way to go. I am not the emotional type, but this book led me very near to tears and that my friends is hard to do. After the first chapter or so, I couldn't understand what all the commotion was about, and was about to close it. I'm glad I didn't, for this relatively short book will be with me a very long time. I recommend this book to the young, the old, unmarried as well as married. If only we could all love each other in the same manner, this would be one wonderful world to live in.

Summary: Heartbreakingly beautiful ... a MUST for hopeful romantics.
Review: A lovingly told true story of two people who almost didn't find each other again. Sparks tells their tale with much affection and, if you can still read through your tears, you will believe that romance does exist in the real world.

Summary: My Love for 'The Notebook'
Review: I've only read a few select books that I've fell in love with, and 'The Notebook' is certainly one of them. The author Nicholas Sparks surely has a way with words. He put me everywhere the characters were. If the character was sad, I was sad, if they were happy, well... The book went through out my work place through many hands, and I was one of the last few to read it, and I'm glad I did. I've recomended the book to many, and will keep on recommending. It's an excellent choice. Emotions, Love, Happiness, sadness.. The book has it all. I would have to say Its a book I'd read, over and over and over again. It's not a book that you can guess what will happen next, It's a book that you dont want to put down, cause you want to see what happens next. It's a great book. Hope everyone gets the chance to read it.

Summary: There is a love story in all of us
Review: I also read this book in one sitting. It was poignant, uplifting, yet satisfyingly sentimental.

Summary: This is a book which evokes our best emotions and thoughts.
Review: I know this book will stay with me for a long time. Although it is a simple book, the feelings it evokes are not simple, but deep. It's the kind of book which brings out the best emotions a human being can have. That is its strength. <P> Those who take the dialogue and descriptions out of context and disparage them, are ignoring the whole idea of the book. I thought the letters were touching and the love described beautiful. The simple language goes well with the simple ideal of true love. Although it may be a simple ideal, we can't ignore the universality of it. It is this universality which gives the book its realism.

Summary: Don't stop with the book, listen to the audio!
Review: This story is intended for hopeless romantics only. Others don't bother! If you have already bought the book and find you are not one please donate it to a library. We know ours has a waiting list. On a recent trip to deliver another copy as a gift we listened to the taped version. Upgrade the size of your tissue box. In fact, you may want a designated driver or crier which ever gets you there safely. Good reading and listening to all.
