The Story is a little bit far fetched.

The story is obviously a bit too far fetched. All that teenage frolic is justified but ending up as a cabbage is not. Pity and sympathy are not compatible.
However, the "emotional" part in the story is very well portrayed, but it fails in the end. Nevertheless, it is a good book and deserves all the good credits. Mr. Nicholas Sparks is a great writer.



I disagree! This is purely a story of two young lovers who lose themselves and then find each other years down the road. From having parents keep them apart to war and finally ending up with one another after so many years of being apart and getting married and starting a family. At the time when I read this book I only saw the love story, but many years later and losing my grandmother, not from alzheimers, but a brain injury and seeing my grandfather visit her daily and just being there it wasn't a love story it was LOVE in general. There are not too many couples who are married for 50+ years anymore and this novel brought out the best of both worlds...finding love, having your love leave and then getting it back. Tragic that Allie was ill, but beautiful that Noah read her the story that she wrote everyday so she would always know who he was and what they were!

Reading it 10x makes it near fetched.


This was the most horrible Sparks book I have read. The whole story was just bland and no excitement.
