What a poignant story about the power of love. A love so great and
predestined that nothing could ever stop it. Nicholas Sparks weaves a tale that
surprises, and entraps you within the pages of his book, refusing to let you go
until you have read every word. At one point I was prepared to dislike the
heroine, Allie, because for a very brief period I thought she was going to
disappoint me as well as Noah, the other main character. But theirs was a love
so powerful it just had to be. Allie gave up much but in doing so she found her
destiny. Being the first to submit a review, I won't give away the story, but
Allie and Noah remained together and stayed just as much in love as they were in
the beginning. Maybe more so. They shared a tender and generous, giving love
that everyone should experience once in their life. The power of that love
accomplished some miracles in their twilight years.

THE NOTEBOOK Reviews
Book of the Month ~ April, 2000
Submitted by; Theda
The Notebook is a small but powerful book written by Nicholas Sparks who also
wrote Message in a Bottle, which was made into the movie that starred Kevin
Costner. It's a quick read and well worth your time.
Definitely

Not what I was expecting exactly for the ending. Different, but I
like it. Made me smile. :) A really nice story about true love, and how it is
stronger than anything if you want it to be. I always enjoy a good love story,
especially one that seems so true. A lot of description, for a short time you
feel you are a part of their lives. Well written I found for such a short story.
Good pick Cheri!

If you want to believe that you can find a "real" love you should read this book, it will give you faith. It gives you a look at what life could have been like for your grandparents. This book will help you decide if you are a half full or half empty glass person :-)
My favorite part of the book:
I ne'er was struck before that hour
With love so sudden and so sweet,
Her face it bloomed like a sweet flower
And stole my heart away complete.
Be composed--be at ease with me...
Not till the sun excludes you do I exclude you,
Not till the waters refuse to glisten for you
and the leaves to rustle for you, do my
words refuse to glisten and rustle for you.
And I read, to let them know who I am.
I wander all night in my vision,...
Bending with open eyes over the shut eyes
of sleepers,
Wandering and confused, lost to myself,
ill-assorted, contradictory,
Pausing, gazing, bending, and stopping.
Would you recommend this book?
Definitely, I think it's a must read.
