A Walk To Remember - Nicholas Spark

If you have read other books by Nicholas Sparks such as: Message in a bottle, The Notebook, The Wedding, A Bend on the Road etc. then you know that this guy can really make you cry. In this book he evens worns you in the beginning but that makes the experience of reading it even more dramatic. This story is of course about love, loss, grief and change. But while you read it, you also get this breeze of a wind that blows your face and says: it's ok, this has to happen, but it's gonna be alright. It's the story of Landon, an otherwise "cool" and popular high school boy, who gradually falls for the most unlikely girl...Jamie...the daughter of the town's ...  Read the complete review

A Walk To Remember This book is another one that has been made into a film, and in my opinion, the film was just fantastic but this book is utterly brilliant. For once I think the director and screen play writer really took what Nicholas Sparks wrote and made sure that not too much changed because it was just pure perfection. If you've never read Nicholas Sparks before then here's a little bit about him. Nicholas Sparks is a well known American author who writes romantic fiction, he is constantly the best seller in the New York Times list, and the one thing that I like is he uses the names of his huge family in his books, and uses a lot ...  Read the complete review

A "Walk To Remember" simply Dazzling!!! Having watched the film adaptation first, I took the book to simply get the details that could not be put in the film. Don't get me wrong, I loved the film but the book is really where my heart got hooked. Nicholas Sparks is one divine writer who has a talent to bringing words to life and tears to your eyes. Plot: In the 1950s, Landon Carter is a rich boy who has no aim in life, except to have fun. Jamie Sullivan is the church minister's daughter, who is highly religious and down-to-earth. They have nothing in common but yet they will live the most wonderful love story ever. Jamie has a ...  Read the complete review

I couldn't put this book down once I started to read it. It tore right at my heart strings and there were places that I out and out cried. It is a great book and any body that is romantic will love it. The two main characters are Landon Carter and Jamie Sullivan. Throughout the book they are who the whole book spins the story around. There are a few other characters but they are played down. This book brings out the reality of this world of ours. If something is different or we don't understand it or the person, all to often we poke fun or leave them out of our group. Not realizing their feelings are probably hurt very deeply. Jamie is a person ...  Read the complete review

Rarely do I read a book after watching a film because then one of them disappoint me somehow. However with this Nicholas Sparks book I didn't find that to be the case. I actually came across it by accident, having nothing to read whilst on my lunch hour at work and it was on the side, I'd already watched the film many times and loved it so I was very unsure about the book but being a bookworm I gave it a go. The book is written through the eyes of Landon, straight from the off the book tells you that its going to be an emotional journey and it is. Landon is forced to spend time through school commitments, in the form of a school play, with the Minister's ...  Read the complete review
