The Notebook

Reader reviewed by Kelsey

In 1932, two North Carolina teenagers from opposite sides of the tracks fall in love. Spending one idyllic summer together in the small town of New Bern, Noah Calhoun and Allie Nelson do not meet again for 14 years. Noah has returned from WWII to restore the house of his dreams, having inherited a large sum of money. Allie, programmed by family and the "caste system of the South" to marry an ambitious, prosperous man, has become engaged to powerful attorney Lon Hammond. When she reads a newspaper story about Noah's restoration project, she shows up on his porch step, re-entering his life for two days. Will Allie leave Lon for Noah? This is one of the most unforgettable love story ever.


After reading A Walk To Remember I just had to read this. This is apparently one of his top novels. Let me just say that so far it is. But It was tough, The Notebook is one of my favorite movies and the book was really different. The movie added a ton of other parts to it so I didn't really expect on how different it was. But either way the book was great. I cried and smiled, this book was exceptionaly fabulous!

I'm Speechless. This book...WOW! Noah and Allie are the best couple. When they were young teenagers, I can remember Noah hanging off a ferris wheel daring her to go out with him, all the way till Allie dies at old 70 in the retirement home.
(NOW THAT SERIOUSLY MADE ME CRY.)

More than 4 pages of unforgettable quotes by New York times, Williamsburg Weelky, this book made me laugh out loud. It made me cry FOR REAL! After watching the movie, I was obsessed with it. All the music videos cover my youtube profile. I memorized almost every quote they said.

This is an unforgettably, beautifully written novel, like I read in another review, "If I had enough money, I would buy everyone in the world a copy of The Notebook." It grabs you into the book, as you're walking down the street in the 50's hearing old jazz music! Get your hankerchiffs ready, this is a good one!

Allie Hamilton taught me the meaning the life. What path you should take, what love really is. Which path will you choose? Will you take the path of "The Notebook" Sparks written from the core of his heart? Why is my review so long?

YOU TELL ME.

The Notebook, by Nicholas Sparks, is a tale of two lovers as told to an old woman by an old man. Even though that sounds a little weird, the context of the book does it great justice. I loved this book. Usually I dont read romance novels, but this one grabbed me. After watching the motion picture, I thought I'd give the book a shot. It made me happy, and it made be cry when the main characters became seperated. And the cover of my copy of the book was a great additive also.

This is one of my favorite books! It made me cry for a long time. It tells the story of two people, Noah and Allie, who reunite after 14 years. They fell i love when they were teens and they fall i love all over again. This story is very very good. It is a romance story with a lot of compassion and it shows how much some people can love one another.
