Advantages: Romantic, full of emotions

Disadvantages: Can leave you in floods of tears

I should mention from the outset that if you have seen the film A Walk to Remember then you will find the the book has many differences. A Walk to Remember is one of those books that can be very hard to put down, it has to be said that this is a trait for all of Nicholas Sparks books. I was initially disappointed with the book, having been a big fan of the film it seemed a shame that the book is quite different. However this was no longer an issue once I got in to the story. The story is heart-wrenching and very capable of producing tears from even the most cold hearted of people.

A Walk to Remember follows the story of Landon and Jamie, two teenagers from a small town. Jamie is a Baptist whose father is the local minister, she is a very understanding and forgiving person. Landon is a bit of a 'rebel' getting into lots of trouble, he and Jamie do not see eye-to-eye. Slowly throughout the story they begin to get closer beginning a heart-warming romance. This romance suffers a twist of fate that leads it in a direction that neither would have imagined and turns Landon into the perfect gentleman.

This book would most likely suit anyone that likes romance stories. The overall happiness of the story makes the sadness that comes with it seem worthwhile. While reading this book I experienced a whirlwind of emotions. I believe that any book that is capable of producing so many emotions is well worth reading.

Summary: Well worth reading
