Summary: Great for speed reading!
Review: This book is good practice for speed-reading courses. Even if you miss a lot, you miss very little. Typical Hollywood expression of love--through sex. Raving sex. Repeated sex. Entering and re-entering. The author also uses trickery when, for many pages, he doesn't mention the name of "she" in the second part of the book. Perhaps this is one case where the movie will be better than the book. How could it be worse?

Summary: Unbelievably trite and mawkish
Review: My God! Where did all those 10's come from? Is the first non-Harlequin romance these people have ever read? It makes "Bridges" look like "gritty realism" which I didn't think possible. Let's see if I have these one-dimensional characters straight. He is a poetry-reading, guitar-playing guy with no flaws whatsoever and a "flat stomach". When sexually excited, he feels "his loins begin to stir". She on the other hand, is totally different. She is a beautiful world-class artist who also has no flaws whatsoever. However, whereas he has a "flat stomach", she has a "stomach flat". Can you believe this? This is typical of the writing: "His shirt was unbuttoned at the top, and she could see his chest muscles flex with every stroke. His sleeves were rolled up, too, and she could see the muscles in his arms bulging." Please! For this, a 10? I agree with the reviewer below who said that those who were so swept away by this thing must have lots of problems with their own love lives

Summary: The most incredible love story ever written
Review: I bought "The Notebook" while on vacation. Once I opened it, I couldnt put it down. I finished the last chapter in the Airport, crying the entire time. People were staring at me, and I didnt care. I have already given the book to friends and family, and they all agree, the most incredible love story ever written.
I read "The Bridges of Madison County" and it doesnt even compare this book! The Notebook is so much better. Noah and Alli share the kind of love we spend our entire lives searching for.

Summary: What disease and age can not take away, true love, the best!
Review: This little book caught my eye and I could not put it down. The author held my interest with the details of that small southern town, the hot southern weather and the southern passions growing. In addition to the plot of the love story, the first and last chapters were so meaniful to anyone who knows someone with Alzhimers (and who doesn't). It proves to all of us who are living with the potential of its onset that love always last, till death do us part. Nicholas Sparks captures so many emotions in many different stages of Noah's life. Would not have traded reading this book for anything

Summary: My teeth ache
Review: I finally got ahold of this book that I have been hearing so much about. I read it in one sitting...(not real difficult to do). I thought it was pretty bad. Much too sweet and cloying. I prefer books that have to do with REALITY

Summary: Heart and Soul...
Review: Nicholas Sparks filled these pages with heart and soul. The Notebook is a truly touching love story. It is not only a book to read, it is a book you experience. The out come from the love triangle of Allie, Noah, and Lon will leave you feeling lucky to have read it. You get an up close look at a love so pure, and refreshing. Nicholas Sparks wrote a beautiful story, for all to read

Summary: The Notebook makes true love believable again.
Review: So many times a story creates a mythical love between two people that seems only reachable in our dreams. But The Notebook shatters the myth of true love to make it a reality that even the most cynical of hearts can believe.
And who says romance dies? For as the love between two people grows, so romance keeps the passion alive spuring the couple never to forget or leave behind the precious bursts of young love. The Notebook chronicles the life of love and gives this cynical heart a small hope that true love just might be a real possibility

Summary: A wonderful story about love and life
Review: This story touched me like very few in the past have. It is not only a love story but also a story about life. The reflections of Noah Calhoun not only teach us how to love with all our hearts and souls, but they also teach us human emotions and simple pleasures, not material possessions, are the commodities that should be treasured in our lives. Not only can the reader feel the love shared by Allie and Noah radiate off the pages of the novel, but one also realizes that virtues like loyalty, patience and hard work that make life worth while. This book is beautiful as are the characters themselves...I cherished every minute of it...
