This book knows how to touch your heart.   I somehow started out with Nicholas Sparks but can't remember which one of his books I read first.  It grabbed me & now I sit & wait for him to bring out another masterpiece.  This story line is easy to read, easy to follow, keeps you… read full review »

I read the Note Book two days ago. I have already seen the movie. Most times the books are better. But I have to say this book was not as good as the movie. The movie is so good I cry everytime I watch it. The story is told in a different order in the book than in the movie. I recomend you… read full review »

I have read the book and seen the movie. I always read the book before the movie, because my imagination is so much better than what ends up on film. This book is a masterpiece.

I would highly recommend the book and then the movie. As always, I laughed, cried, was happy, sad, angry. Mr. Sparks really knows how to write fantastic… read full review »

This book starts out with a mystery.  Who are they?  What will she decide?  What did she decide?  And then life; the sadness, the longing, the hope.  If you really need a good cry this book will deliver.  To me the end is everything.  The book can be great but if it ends poorly it was a waste of my time.  This book ended with… read full review »

This book is fast becoming a classic for many readers. This was my first nicholas sparks book and it didnt disappoint. If you are in the mood to curl up with a good book and a box of Kleenex, this book is a good choice. It will inspire you to want to believe in true love again. It touches the heart in ways that are hard in such a cynical world we now live… read full review »
