Book Reviews of The Notebook
Book Review: Not a Tear Jerker For Me...However...
Summary: 5 Stars
I was recommended by my younger sister to read this book. I did and enjoyed it for its entertainment value.Like any action movie, we know movies like The Matrix or any of that sort will never be nominated for the Oscars.
"The Notebook" is not a work of literature compared to the works of Hemingway or Twain or Steinbeck. But, "The Notebook" does move me as an individual. It may not challenge me on my intellect when having to read books like "Bhagavad Gita" and analyze it line by line; however Sparks' novel truly did move and captivate me--it is after all a romantic novel.
I find any person odd and awkward if they did not feel anything when reading this book. They should at least feel a miniscule amount of a warm and fuzzy feeling inside.
To continue, I do fine Allie's decision to go to Noah during her engagement a flag-raising issue. Had Allie and Lon been married for quite some time and then if Allie visits Noah, then this will be issue of moral degrading on her behalf.
Bottomline is: I truly enjoyed reading the novel which is a break from reading "literatures" from college assignments. I for one, sincerely recommends to other people my age to borrow from a friend or have a copy. And go see the movie when it comes out in theatres June 25, 2004 and please share the movie with your significant other. :-)
Book Review: My Review
Summary: 5 Stars
If you like Romances then you should read the book The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks. Nicholas Sparks has written a lot of great love stories. I have read most of his books but The Notebook has to my favorite.
The main characters in this book are Allie and Noah. Allie was rich and had high expectations, she had everyday planed out, and she was organized and almost perfect. Noah was carefree and fun to be around. He didn't have a lot of money and he was far from perfect. One summer Allie and Noah met. Noah fell in love with Allie at the first glance. He knew he wanted to spend his whole life with her. On the other hand Allie didn't seem so fond about Noah; she thought he wasn't her type. They met again and then Allie realized that Noah wasn't what she thought. Every since that day they were inseparable. Allies parents didn't approve of Noah they thought he wasn't good enough for her, just because he didn't have money like them. So Allie was broken hearted when her parents made her leave the town and never see Noah again. Allie was miserable she didn't even get to say goodbye. Noah wrote Allie 360 letters telling her that he loved her and that if she would write back he would find her no matter where she was. About twelve years later they met again then..... Read the book to find out what happens next.
Book Review: The Notebook
Summary: 5 Stars
The book, The Notebook is a very wonderful love story and I guarantee anyone would like it! It takes place back in the early 1900's. As teenagers, Allie and Noah fall in love one summer while Allie is visiting. But Allie comes from the upper class and Noah is more in the lower. Though they don't care about this, Allie's parents do and make her go home earlier than expected.
Noah writes her 365 letters, one every day for a year. But somehow Allie never recieves them. Allie gets engadged to another man but still thinks about Noah all the time. Noah does not have that much of a life and thinks about Allie everyday. In the end love brings them together.
This is a great book! The author, Nicholas Sparks, uses many romantic words to set the mood and bring the story to life. The characters personalities are very intersting too. Allie is very strong and is not afraid of basically anything. I think this is weird because back then woman just kind of stood back. But Allie has a really big heart too. Noah on the other hand is shy, but he knows what he wants and he wants Allie.
I recommend this book to anyone about 15 and older. This book can be a little too romantic for younger kids. Well, i don't want to ruin the book for anyone who hasen't read it so I wont say anymore.
Book Review: The Powerful Love
Summary: 5 Stars
"In times of grief and sorrow I will hold you and rock you, and take your grief and make it my own. When you cry, I cry, and when you hurt, I hurt. And together we will try to hold back the floods of tears and despair and make it through the potholed streets of life."
In the story, The Notebook, Noah and Allie have their devotion of love swayed through out their life time. Noah and Allie fall in love one summer of their adolescent life. However, their differences pull them apart for 14years. Allie, now engaged to a rich lawyer, read an article in a newspaper about Noah and visits him one more time. Despite her engagement, Noah and Allie fall madly in love all over again. When Allie's fiancé comes, she leaves Noah for the second time. Even though they've been through on and off relationships, when Allie gets Alzheimer's disease, Noah's love for Allie continues. They share their tears and despair through out the story.
The Notebook is a marvelous love story written by Nicholas Sparks. This story reminds us how strong the power of love can be. Nicholas Sparks makes you feel like you are the one falling in love. It will be hard to put the book down once you start reading it. It is a very sad story, but you will be tempted to read it over and over again.
Book Review: The Notebook
Summary: 5 Stars
The book I read is called The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks. It's a romantic novel in which I enjoyed reading a lot just because it was a pleasant and romantic book. The only part that made me emotional was the end.
I loved the characters in the book. The main characters are Allie, who is a rich girl from the city and she had everything she's ever wanted. She fell in love with a guy named Noah, who was the total opposite from her. He was from a small town in North Carolina when he met Allie. She was just there for the summer with her family. He wasn't making that much money but they were so crazy about each other and that's what I found to be so cute.
The conflict had to do with Allie's parents. They thought Noah was going to be a distraction for Allie since she was heading to collage at the end of summer. The conflict with her mom forbidding her to see Noah didn't keep them away forever. Though out the story Allie had to make her own choices instead of making ever one else around her happy she had to please her self.
I loved The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks. I also loved his other book a Walk to Remember. He writes such great love stories that keep people so entertained. Anyone who likes to read romantic novels should read the notebook
