Book Reviews of The Notebook
Book Review: Love told by a notebook
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a high school senior and in my English class we have independent reading and I have chosen The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks, one of my new favorites.
In the opening scene an old man by the name of Noah Calhoun is in a nursing home and gets up early every morning, strolls down the hallway to a room where a woman with Altizmers stays, and he reads to her. From his notebook he tells a story of them when they were young and deeply in love.
Noah and Allie were meant to be together. Allies parents did not want them to continue to see each other so her parents moved he far away. All they could think about was the summer they spent together. Years later Allie returned to Noah to tell him something that would break his heart. All that happened was a complete turn around and a change of heart after all. The first time you fall in love changes your life forever.
This story is touching, very realistic, funny, and sad. I could very well relate to this story. I have also seen the movie. The Book and movie are different, so I would suggest that you read the book and the movie.
I would recommend this book to teenagers, men and woman of all ages. I guarantee you, you will relate to this book also. Any other love story couldn't capture you heart like The Notebook, by a gifted novelist. The first person who takes your heart will keep it forever and even may have the power to create a miracle.
Book Review: A Tender and Timeless Love Story
Summary: 5 Stars
It's 1946 and Allie is about to be married when she sees in the newspaper that her first love, Noah is returning home from the war. Though it's been fourteen years, her love for him still smolders, so she goes to see him and they realize that their love has never died. From that point on the story follows their ever growing love and we are given a very rare glimpse of true love that goes on for years. Then Allie comes down with Alzheimer's, but Noah remains steady and true while the disease seizes her mind.
This book is a story of two people who find each other after a long absence and have the courage to let their love guide them, instead of giving in to those who want to keep them apart, and they have almost half a century together of a love that is rare and precious. Sparks has told his story well, maybe too well, because to see the love Noah has for Allie during her suffering is just so sad. I cried and cried. And you know, I gave a few thoughts to my first love. I was thirteen, he was all of fifteen, too old me, but he was so fine. I wonder what he's doing now. I wonder if this book would have moved him as much as it moved me. Is it a girl thing?
And I wonder how a man could have written such emotion, could have pulled those tears out of me. No, it's not a girl thing. We're all part of the human experience. If you've read THE NOTEBOOK then you know what I'm talking about. If you haven't you should.
Book Review: Womans Romance
Summary: 5 Stars
The Notebook
The notebook starts off with an old man telling a story to another girl who falls madly in love with each other. The girl in the story is named Allie. The boy is named Noah. They were never apart. Allies mother didn't approve of Noah though. She thought he was too low class. He wouldn't support Allie like a high-class suitor would. For that, she moved them away from him. Over the years, Allie went to college, worked as a nurse to help the soldiers in war. She met a man who was wealthy and her mother and father approved. She was then engaged to him.
When Noah and Allie were together, Allie told Noah about her dream house. He built it while she was away, still madly in love with her. After it was built he got his picture taken for the newspaper (along with the house). Allie saw him and freaked out. She decided to go back and see how he was. At first they were merely friends, but they both knew they had missed each other. They gave in and had a passionate love affair. She went back to her fiancé, but realized she really did love Noah, and that money wasn't everything. They lived in their house and were happy. In her later years she began to loose her memory so Noah tells her this story of him and her. They both die at then end lying together on the same bed; forever in love.
*This book is passoinate and moving. A wonderful womans romance.
Book Review: The Most Romantic Book Ever
Summary: 5 Stars
I was really drawn in by Ally and Noah's relationship through out the book because no matter how angry and upset they'd get with each other they never did stop loving. Their relationship was based on forgiveness and understandance. I feel in love with Noah's character because he was very charming and at the same time a very strong person and though a little stubborn at times, he knew how to make Ally happy.
The Notebook is the most romantic story I've ever read. I loved the way that Nicolas Sparks showed their relationship transform and grow stronger. It really captured all parts of relationships too with expressing their feelings and thoughts and reading about their typical arguments and the way they worked things out to be back together. I loved how emotional the book was because it was extremely catchy and harder to put the book down.
I really enjoyed this book, tears and all because Nicolas Sparks used brilliant words for description and catchy incidents to make this book last a lifetime in my memories, a lot of books I've read I never think about later but every time I think of romance and love stories I will always remember back to this book. I would recommend this book to any reader who loves romance and rapid changes of emotions because this book is based on love and strength and I know that without a question it'll be a challenge to put down the book for good.
Book Review: The Notebook.. an amazing book!
Summary: 5 Stars
The Notebook is defiantly a favorite of mine. I saw the movie first, and I would have to say the book is much better. I've read it about six times because it's just such a good book. The book contains so much detail that you actually feel like you're there with the characters. You can picture Noah, the protagonist, as he grows older. You see Allie with her curls and bright smile walk up to Noah in the first scene. She's shy and girly, and Noah is bold and brave. The two share an amazing life together, but only after many dramatic years apart. The Notebook, written by Nicholas Sparks, is one of my favorite books for many reasons. It's a romantic drama and makes you feel warm inside. When the characters laugh, you laugh. When the characters cry, you cry. You feel their pain and their happiness. Sparks is an amazing writer because of all these things. I'm sure there are many interpretations of the theme of this book, but the theme that stuck out most to me would be, what's meant to be will always find its way. This may sound a little cliché, but that's exactly how the book makes me feel. After reading this book I guess you could say it gives you hope and faith that everything will work out for the best. Nicholas Sparks writes a compelling introduction and after the first chapter you can't put the book down. If you liked the movie, I would defiantly recommend reading the book.
