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 same time. The story flowed seamlessly like a reckless youth becoming a mature, stable and fulfilled adult.

Here is my favorite line: “Jamie was more than just the woman I loved. In that year Jamie helped me become the man I am today.” I never knew what the title meant before, until the passages leading to its mention gave the meaning away...True to the title, this story will stay with me, and will always be remembered.
