I had a lot of ups and downs reading this....you go through so many emotions...you're happy, sad, angry, and all the ones in between. You really feel like you're there and you feel what the characters are feeling. Loved it! (Much better than the movie)

I enjoyed the book, especially the setting along the New England and North Carolina coasts. I definitely did not expect the ending but still enjoyed the book.

I finished this book in about two days. It started out a little slow but it was overall a pretty good book. I know they made a movie, I'd like to see it one of these days.

I am not a fan of romance novels but I loved 3 Weeks With My Brother, so I thought I would give this a try. It was just ok, but I think that is because I prefer other genres.

Divorced and disillusioned about relationships, Theresa Osborne is jogging when she finds a bottle on the beach. Inside is a letter of love and longing to "Catherine," signed simply "Garrett." Challenged by the mystery and pulled by emotions she doesn't fully understand, Theresa begins a search for this man that will change her life. What happens to her is unexpected, perhaps miraculous - an encounter that embraces all our hopes for finding someone special, for having a love that is timeless and everlasting...

As usual, the book is better than the movie. But, I'm glad that I saw the movie!

Not one of my favorite N.S. works. Good, however.

I HATED this book. I was so angry at the end that, if not for my husband, I would have torn it to shreds and then burned what was left. Never have I been so dissapointed in a book.

Urgh... I couldn't stand this book. I only read it in bits and pieces when I ran out of other reading material (I did not have much money, and I didn't know about PBS swap at that time). It was funny how much I disliked this book. I have liked all of the other Sparks books I have read, and "A Walk to Remember" is one of my favorite books.
