Nicholas Sparks has great material for movies that women love. His writing, however, needs a lot of work. I find his books to be dry and irritatingly slow to get to anything romantic or in the least bit amusing. I rarely prefer movies to books but I definitely prefer the movies based off his books to his books. I do not think he is a good writer. Premise great, books bad.

I generally really dislike Nicholas Sparks books because the style of writing is too Danielle Steel-esque for me. This however, I found to be truly awful. So much so that I avoided watching the movie for several years, only to finally capitulate and be blown away. This is definitely a case of the movie being far superior to the book.

The love story of Noah and Allie who fall in love over one summer as teenagers. They reunite years later when Allie comes to Visit Noah before her upcoming wedding. I can see why some people would think this was too sappy but I like the story and the ending had me crying buckets.

Fell in love with the movie years ago. I don't much do romance novels anymore - at least not these sacchrine kind, but I love the relationship devotion over the years, and that this was not just about "young love," but a couple who weathered the times and still loved each other despite heartache and illness.
Love this edition, it has an author's interview and brief life story at the end.
Barry Bostwick does an amazing job of narrating. ...more

Someone I didn't know very well told me this was the BEST book she had ever read. Naturally I was excited to read it. All I can say is 'ewwwww' - this is a Harlequin romance and I am not a fan of romances. ...more
