 Written on April 28, 2008 Summary: Just okay I saw the movie first and like the movie much better, the whole first date thing in the movie was my favorite part and there is none of that in this book. Written on April 26, 2008 Summary: A Book to Remember I was very excited to read this book, I enjoyed it. Sometimes it was like Landon would trail off of the story at the very beginning but then as it goes on you see that he trails off to introduce the characters and make it more heart-warming and tear-jerking. I never really had any tears but it was tear-jerking. Good characters and a great ending (I wasn't expecting it!) Written on April 6, 2008 Summary: Was not asood as I was expecting It seemed to be a little imature of a book for an adult to read. However the story was nice.  Written on March 20, 2008 Summary: populistic love story with a handful of moral advice Fifty-seven year old Landon Carter remembers his high school senior year, when his life changed forever. Well, this intro may encourage to read on... Landon, a boy from a prominent family living in Beaufort, New Carolina, a son of a politician and grandson of a businessman who made the family fortune, not always acting in a most morally respectable way, needs to get to college. He is an average student, pretty sociable, a nice boy, fond of jokes, but without any special academic or athletic achievements. His parents suggest participating in the drama club, and there he prepares for the Christmas play. The play, traditionally shown every Christmas, has been written by the minister, Hegbert Sullivan, a very religious man, a widower with an only daughter, regarded by the kids as an oddity. His daughter, Jamie, is a quiet girl, wearing drab clothes, who carries her Bible everywhere and lives by its principles. She is always doing good, regularly visits the local orphanage, helps everyone... You get the picture. Sure enough, Landon starts seeing Jamie on a regular basis after joining the drama club and soon falls in love with her. Unfortunately, Jamie has a tragic secret... A lot of drama follows, but the plot is extremely predictable, the writing unremarkable, except for annoying attempts at colloquial speech, as it might have been among teenagers in the 1950s. The only thing I really liked is the description of life and inhabitants of a small, Southern town. I would say this is a novel directed only at the young adult, it is very naïve and in a very simple and unsubtle way trying to teach good moral values. Not a great literature, rather mediocre. May be enjoyed also by those who like romance. It reads quickly, so it is not a waste of time (can be recommended for airplane reading), but nothing of brilliance either. I guess that the author knows very well how write for the masses and this may be the key to his success.  Written on March 13, 2008 Summary: I loved it A WALK TO REMEMBER is a romantic novel set during the late 1950's in a small town in the south. Landon Carter is a popular, obnoxious high school senior who doesn't like to study hard. He decides to take drama instead of chemistry because thinks he will be able to sleep through most of the time. In the drama class he meets Jaime Sullivan, who was known as the bible-hugging minister's daughter. Landon desperately needs a date and invites Jamie to the homecoming dance because she was the only girl left. Although Landon and Jamie grew up together he never saw past that first impression, but he quickly learns to never judge a book by its cover. Their friendship grew and Landon finds himself struggling with his feelings until Christmas Eve at the orphanage when he finally realizes his love for her. However, he was unaware that Jamie had a frightening secret that could ruin their lives forever. One of my favorite passages of this novel is the time they spent together at the orphanage.... "As these images were going through my head, my breathing suddenly went still. I looked at Jamie, then up to the ceiling and around the room, doing my best to keep my composure, then back to Jamie again. She smiled at me and I smiled at her and all I could do was wonder how I'd ever fallen in love with a girl like Jamie Sullivan." (pg. 154) This book is moving and inspiring. If you like romantic novels and beautiful love stories you will enjoy this one! A WALK TO REMEMBER will appeal to mostly women, but I think it is best suited for young adults. Nicholas Sparks does a great job describing what love can overcome. |
