A Walk To Remember Reviews

After reading Lost Souls I needed to read something that wasn't so scarey and I wanted something to lift my spirits.  I went to my bookshelf and began running my fingers across the many books and was taking notice of the ones that I have yet to read.  I spotted A Walk To Remember and after having seen the movie tons of times and listening to the soundtrack I decided this was the book for me, at the moment.  The funny thing was that I really didn't realize that Nicholas Sparks was also the same person who wrote the book Nights In Rodanthe that would later become a movie.  You can read my review...

I found A Walk to Remember around the time it first came out. I was searching my college bookstore shelves looking for a good read. I actually picked it up because of the book cover. The original cover is a picture of a road lined with beautiful trees with leaves the color of amber during the fall. After reading the back cover I knew this was the book. I couldn't remember getting so lost in a story the way I did with this one. It is beauitfully written with wonderfully thought out characters. To this day it remains my favorite book.

After seeing the movie i got interested in the book. As i was reading "A Walk to Remember" i just couldn't get into it. The book was set in the 1950's and the movie was set in early 2000. I expected the book to have more of what i saw in the movie. COme to find out i was wrong. I really love reading Nicholas Sparks books, but this one was definately not worth the reading.
