Not a proper review. Just me gushing over a book/movie that makes me cry everytime I watch/read it. Beautiful.
This is in random order. Don't try to make sense of it. You won't.

This was my first book by Sparks, and let me tell you, it. was. perfect. It’s so hard writing reviews for books you absolutely love, and this review will not do this book justice, so just bear with me.

I was pretty unsure about this book at first, and when I was told by a friend to read a Sparks book, absolutely any of my choosing, I didn’t really want to. But, despite not wanting to read I book by him, because I was being stubborn and thought I would absolutely hate it, I went on my library’s w More...

I like the book better than the movie.

the struggle of jamie and langdon for their love over death...sounds cliche, but i think the book is the second best romance story next to Love Story by Erich Segal.

try to read it at 2 am in the morning when all you hear is silent and you'll get into the story until you burst into tears...

i smiled.
i cried.

nice.

I'm Rollie... and now leaping over my bounded forte?

Romance is the least among the genres that I craved to try. Instead, I stumbled upon reading this love story book. A risk indeed to read a different genre especially when it exempts among the genres you always thinks about. Thus, it doesn't just take twenty gulps to risk for it but takes time and sweat to decide the dilemma whether to give it a shot or not. Lately, I decided to widen my braced genres and I thought this book is worth the risk to More...

The following review contains the word “sweet” numerous amount of times. You cannot say you haven’t been warned.

Jamie Sullivan is, to put it bluntly, a goody two shoes. She makes everyone else look like their behavior is less than stellar. At least that was what Landon and probably half of the town thinks of her. The setting is in the 50’s and completely clean and wholesome. It was a nice change for me. Cynics will tear the whole book apart, but I won’t. It made me feel good and not that everyth More...

My all-time favorite movie turned out to be twice as good in literary form! I was thrilled to find scenes not included in the movie and descriptions that really brought you closer to the characters. Even though I already knew the storyline, I still could not stop the tears from coming. In fact, everytime I read the book, I fall in love with Landon all over again! Gosh, we've been having this affair for years now, it's ridiculous.

This is the nth time that I re-read this book and I'm sure it wont be the last. A Walk to Remember is the first N. Sparks book I read and will always be one of my favorites.

The story begins with Landon Carter reminiscing his senior year in Beaufort High. The year where Landon, a politician son fell for Jamie Sullivan, a pastor's daughter. Destiny brought these two different personalities together which changed their lives and the people around them forever.

Likes: Everything! When I first read th More...

This is my first Nicholas Sparks book but I'm not unfamiliar with his style of writing. If the few movies that I've watched and this book are any indication then he writes predominately beautiful tragedies. This usually isn't my type of book but trying new styles sometimes give pleasant surprises.

I won't say that I'd gladly recommend this book but it had a lot of meaning in it. Landon is a likeable character even with his minor flaws; he really is a good guy. He is funny at how he talks about p More...

A Walk to Remember was a great book and I surely recommend his book to not just girls, but to all genders. I am pretty sure that the author, Nichols Sparks, wrote this book mainly to captivate the romance, and sensitivity that we all have inside. This novel was surely a beautiful love story, and also a stab in the heart if you really got into it. My favorite character was Jamie, in a way she kind of reminded me of…me. I guess because, in the story she was shy, sweet, mysterious, and I personally More...

When I first saw the movie, I loved it very mush ,so that I have watched this movie more than 40 times.When I find the book on the internet and read it, I even loved the idea more. You feel a life which can be very true and the sacrifices that a person could do to make this life easier. This is my favorite part:
"Love is always patient and kind. It is never jealous. Love is never boastful or conceited. It is never rude or selfish. It does not take offense and is not resentful. Love takes no pleas More...

A Walk to Remember details the story of Jamie Sullivan, a preacher's daughter who seems to know everything, and Landon Carter, the boy who would never be tempted by Jamie in real life. The plot is predictable enough, even if you haven't seen the movie. I won't spoil the ending here, but it leaves quite a lot to be desired.

I wanted to like this book, since so many people I knew enjoyed it, but I ended up hating it. The material was far too idyllic in some parts, and overly sanguine in others. I c More...

Ok, this is the one that started it all for me. It was the first book I had read in a very long time and I loved it!! I cried at the end and my heart just broke for the two of them. I can't say I liked the movie much. As far as I am concerned, it strayed way too much from the storyline. They made it too modern and the whole appeal of the book was the time that it was set in. This one made me wonder if any of the others was any good. I was very impressed with "Message..." (that one made me cry to More...

This book was really good. It is for sure one of my favorites. The book and movie are not exactly the same. Jamie's character is inspiring. She is such a good person and changes Landon's character for the better.- A miracle- This is the first book that I couldnt read at times because my eyes were filled with tears. A Walk to Remember is a fantastic, quick read that is worth your time.

What can I say? I can't even begin to explain how wonderful this book was. Once again, Nicholas Sparks outdone himself. When I first started reading this, I didn't expect much, seeing as how it was a tragedy and I don't really care for tragedies, after the disaster with Romeo and Juliet LOL. However, there was something more to this book than other sad books I've read in my life. For one, this book touched my heart-REALLY touched my heart- and made me ask myself all these questions about love an More...

In a predictable flashback device that mimics "The Notebook", 57-year-old Landon Carter spirits himself back to his fateful senior year in high school in Beaufort, N.C., when he was an archetypal trouble making teenager of the 1950s, changed forever by an unexpected first love.

Jamie Sullivan, the Bible-toting minister's daughter, with her drab brown sweaters, spinster hairstyle and sincere, beatific advice, is the obvious target of high school ridicule. Despite conspiring in Jamie's derision, c More...

I only picked up this book from the library because they didn't have the specific books I was looking for in, so I walked through the aisles and randomly selected a few so the trip wasn't a waste. When I saw it on the shelf, I remembered that someone a while ago had recommended that I read it and "The Notebook" by Nicholas Sparks, and because books are almost always better than the movie versions, I decided to give it a shot.

I actually liked the movie when I saw it. I am a sappy girl like that s More...

Ini salah satu buku yang saya baca waktu jaman kuliah. Termasuk filmnya yang sudah saya tonton beberapa kali. Sebetulnya ada beberapa perbedaan antara buku dan film, kalau ditanya mana yang lebih saya suka, hmmmm kali ini bisa dibilang saya suka keduanya.

Landon Carter yang berusia 67 tahun menceritakan kisahnya ketika ia berumur 17 tahun. Singkat cerita si anak bandel dan pemberontak ini jatuh cinta pada seorang gadis alim yang sangat biasa-biasa saja, sederhana, selalu memakai rok kota-kota More...

♪♫♪I'll always remember
It was late afternoon
It lasted forever
And ended too soon. CRY, Mandy Moore

The song Cry, perfectly describes A Walk To Remember. It was short, but it would definitely be etched in my cranium for forever.

Who wouldn’t know Landon Carter and Jamie Sullivan? In the movie, they were cast as Mandy Moore and Shane West.



I remember it being a hit when I was in high school years ago. I watched the movie and loved it. I knew there was a book, but I only had a chance to read it rece More...

PERHATIAN: REVIEW INI MENGANDUNG SPOILER!

Setiap kali mendengar kalimat "A Walk To Remember", yang tergambar jelas di benak saya adalah wajah polos Mandy Moore. Ia berperan sebagai Jamie Sullivan dalam film A Walk To Remember, film yang katanya bikin mewek itu. Saya sendiri belum pernah tuntas menonton film tersebut (biasalah, kalau ditayangin di tv, banyakan iklannya, jadi males nonton sampai kelar). A Walk To Remember diadaptasi dari novel romantis berjudul sama karya Nicholas Sparks, yang baru More...

I haven’t seen the movie, but I know that someone died. Even if I had this one big spoiler, I still wanted to read the book. Having read all but two (including this) of Nicholas Sparks’ novels, I could somehow predict what would happen (other than the dying part). But knowing what was coming didn’t rob me of the jumble of emotions I always feel when reading his works. A Walk To Remember evoked all kinds of emotion - it was funny and sad, promising and depressing, youthful and mature, all at the More...

Baca bukunya, pinjeman dari mbak echa :P


Tahu gak apa yang kusuka dari buku ini?
Ini novel isinya kisah cinta. Tapi ditulis oleh penulis laki-laki, dengan sudut pandang anak cowok. Makanya isinya lebih menyentuh. Cara penulisannya enak banget.


Semua juga tahu isi buku ini tentang apa?
Landon Carter si anak orang kaya di sebuah kota kecil bernama Beaufort, jatuh cinta pada seorang cewek bernama Jamie Sullivan yang merupakan anak seorang pendeta.
Karena suatu alasan, Landon membantu Jamie dalam sebuah More...

Why is this dude a bestselling author? Is that some terrible commentary about modern society? I read this in a waiting room -- I would have been better off with back issues of People magazine.

My favorite of all Sparks books so far... The book is set in a different time period than the movie but both are awesome... Bittersweet ending

My all time favorite Nicholas Sparks book! It was the first one that I read and remains the one I love the most!

Hated it. First and last Sparks book for me. Tried way to hard to go for the tear jerking moments.

The rarest of the rarest love...The purest of the purest love...The truest of the truest love...

Nicholas Sparks likes to mess with people’s feelings, and therefore, takes advantage of the same formula: a romance punctuated by tragedy. Although personally, I am more easily manipulated by the emotional sad stories, from time to time feels good to read about a happy ending. But apparently the author doesn’t seem to share my opinion. Proof is he’s still killing people in his books. I don’t have anything against it, nor am I judging the man for writing what ultimately leads people to buy his no More...

A good and short love story. If you like the movie, you'll like it too.

Nicholas Sparks probably ovulates.
