Summary: How we SHOULDN'T take our lives/health for granted
Review: This was the BEST book I think I ever read. It made the reader realize we normally take our lives for granted, thinking we, or our loved ones are going to be around forever. Sometines we put off what we really want to do, or telling someone how much we really care about them, and too often it's usually too late. The Notebook makes the reader feel a new appreciation for the quality of life and friendships

Summary: Loved the book so much started The Nicholas Sparks Book Club
Review: We share a kindred spirit with Noah and Allie. We also found enduring love and live in New Bern. This book is for romantics and lovers of the simple things life can offer. Mr. Sparks has captured the charm of New Bern, NC and its people. Thank you, Mr. Sparks, for your promise of more about the life and times of this couple

Summary: A Nice Change of Pace
Review: The majority of the reviews I've read tell me that the book was well liked. There are a handfull of you that say otherwise.
Several have said it lacked substance and intelect. Maybe someone out there can tell me what makes a book intellectually fulfilling? Will I have to have a dictionary by my side in order to read an intellectually fulfilling book? If I read a lesser book does that mean I'm not intellectually up-to-snuff? Reading a fun book is not beneath any of us

Summary: We fell in love with this little book!
Review: Our daughter, an Enlish major and aspiring novelist, gave my wife and I a copy of this book. In turn we both read it quickly with a similar reaction: putting it down with a lump in our throat, a tear in our eye, and remarking to each other what a sad yet delightful story. Sparks is a master at convey human emotions of love, hope, frustration and resignation so they touch the reader without seeming contrived or simplistic

Summary: Enjoy for what it is...
Review: For 200 pages, let's ignore the criticisms about how this book is written and enjoy the wonderful (happy & sad) story. Sparks makes you realize what is important in life..

Summary: The Joy and Devistation of Life.
Review: I've read through quite a few of these reviews, and yes this is a love story. But what most people fail to see is the devistation that a disease can do to our lives. The beginning of this story was beautiful, but the second half is the reality of Alzheimer's. He is now the only one to remember these moments. To watch your soul mate torn from your reality and dumped into a world of confusion and loss is something I wish never to experience. I read this story a month after Alzheimer's took my dad from my mom at the age of 52. Don't just read this book solely as a love story. Read it as a testiment to what this disease steals from us

Summary: Very enjoyable, sensitive reading
Review: This book was very sensitive and exact as to the feelings that people have when they loose the deepest love that they have. I lost my husband last year and still mourn his loss because we were so connected emotionally. Not many people experience that true love and cannot appreciate it unless they experience that feeling. The less than complimentary reviews of this book make me believe that they have not experienced that feeling. This book may not be a classic literary find (I have read the Grapes of Wrath, Moby Dick and most of the other classics, but it is worth the time to get to your deeper soul and ability to love someone else unconditionally

Summary: TRUST M E -- THIS BOOK WAS AWFUL!
Review: I bought this book based on the glowing reviews I read at Amazon.com but I must tell you, I hated this book. First I must clarify that I am NOT a snob or a hard-hearted romance hating person. In fact, I LOVED the Bridges of Madison County!!!! But this book was terrible. It was poorly written, and so overly simplistic and sentamental that I felt like I was reading a novel excerpt from Redbook magazine. Please, please, if you like fine books, do not even consider buying this book. I beseach you
