Author: Nicholas Sparks
Have you ever wanted the perfect relationship and romance? If so you should read the Notebook. It's probably the closest thing you could ever get to the perfect romance.
This book is bout how Ally and Noah find how strong their love is for each other. They go through this long journey that started back when they were 17. They met at the fair and the way he got her to date him was amazing. Later on when her parents realized that she was dating him, they didn't approve of him. It was because she was rich and he wasn't. Later on he gets sent to war. Her mother hid the letters he sent to her, so Ally had no clue. While he was at war Ally ended up getting engaged to another man she met as a nurse. When Noah found this out he built the house she wanted to see if she would come back and of course she did. They got married and grew old together.
I thought this book was an excellent book. Nicholas Sparks is an excellent writer. He has many other books on the market that you should probably check out. The wedding would be the sequel to the Notebook.
Book Review: "The Notebook" is a heart-warming page-turner.
Summary: 5 Stars
The feeling I gathered upon completing this novel is analogous to the natural warmth of a homespun blanket or a soft-glowing fire on a winter's night. A tale of everlasting love never loses its appeal to a reading audience, and this novel certainly showcases a gem. As the novel follows the growing love of Allie and Noah in post-World War II North Carolina, I was given a rare and captivating glance at true love and its virtues. Such examples include the tenacity of Noah's love for Allie and his commitment to stay with her while Alzheimer's seizes her mind. Author, Nicholas Sparks utilizes simplicity and honesty in his writing and never seeks to clutter it with unessecary prose. In descriptions of the two lovers' feelings, he uses a direct approach without intermingling superfluous descriptions. Additionally, I found "The Notebook" to be refreshing, optimistic, and uplifting. The story ribbons weave together a tale of sweet harmony and romance that is greatly needed to shine loving light into our "troubled society." This book will assuredly become a well-worn fixture in your home for years to come.Book Review: The Notebook

Book Review: Fall in Love with this book!
Summary: 5 Stars
I would give this book close to an infinite amount of stars. Yeah I know, call me crazy!
First of all, if you saw the movie before reading the book, I am soooooo terribly sorry. Don't get me wrong, I liked the movie but the book is just completely out of this world!
I read this book the first time when I was 19 and I've read it atleast 6 times eversince. I keep re-buying it because I give it away to friends. I miss the original cover!
This is the book that taught me what real love is supposed to be like, SIMPLE and SMOOTH! (at least in my opinion)
It is definitely an Epic. The first sentence just grabs you and takes you to a cloud to fall in LOVE. No, I will not tell you 1 detail of the story.
The only thing I can say is that Allie is completely different in the book than what she was in the movie and it just changes everything. Not for better or worse, just for a different feeling. This is the BEST book that Nicholas Sparks has written up to now. There is just nothing out there to compare it. It is my favorite book ever, so far....
Book Review: Pass the tissues - you'll need them!
Summary: 5 Stars
A friend of mine strongly suggested this story because I was raised by my grandparents and she thought I would relate to the story and enjoy it - which I did whole-heartedly. I read the first 30 pages at a slow pace and crying almost immediately after I picked up the book. After letting the book collect dust for about two months, I picked it up again last night and did not put it down until I finished late in the evening. The story was beautifully written and took you through every emotion you could imagine. It was especially hard to get through towards the end when Allie and Noah are in the nursing home and Allie suffers from Altzheimer's. Having suffered through this with my own grandmother only a year ago, I know the pain of having someone you love so dearly not recognize you. I cried for about an hour and a half when I was reading the ending chapters of the book. I am now a huge fan of Nicholas Sparks and look forward to the movie that I'm sure will come soon - I just hope it can live up to the book! I'll bring a whole box of kleenex to that show!
