Book Reviews of A Walk to Remember

Great book about love and life. Sweet love story. A must read.

Another compassionate story that touches your soul. Nicholas Sparks really knows how to tell a love story...

This is a quick, easy read. It's a very sweet story about friendship and love - didn't make me cry, but I enjoyed it. I won't compare it to the movie since I found that the book and the movie really didn't seem to be very similar at all (in my opinion).

This was a really good book. It was set in a different time than the movie, but it was good. I think I like the movie a tad bit more, which is rare!

I have read this book a few times growing up, and I still love it. It is a very touching story, yet an easy read. I would describe it as a sad love story, yet lessons are learned throughout.

Movie was good but the book is much better

Fantastic...as are all of Sparks' books!

Seeing the movie made me want to read this book. While the movie made me (and even my husband!) cry, the book did not. Still, a sweet, tender love story and the beauty that lies within us and the power of one person to change another.

This was my first Nicholas Sparks book and is a great one to start with for people who are just getting into him.

Very nice story including a young man's maturing into adulthood. Very fast read.

The book is much better than the movie!! Definitely a tear jerker!

Cute book. A bit different from the movie.

There was a time when the world was sweeter when the women in Beaufort, North Carolina, wore dresses, and the men donned hats...

Every April, when the wind smells of both the sea and lilacs, Landon Carter remembers 1958, his last year at Beaufort High. Landon had dated a girl or two, and even once sworn that he'd been in love. Certainly the last person he though he'd fall for was Jamie, the shy, almost ethereal daughter of the town's Baptist minister Jamie, who was destined to show him the depths of the human heart--- and the joy and pain of living.

From the internationally bestselling author, Nicholas Sparks comes his most moving story yet.

Reviewed by Taylor Rector for TeensReadToo.com

Landon Carter is now 57 years old and he is telling his love story from when he was a senior in high school. He still remembers the events of something that he thought was just a friendship as if it was yesterday.

Jamie Sullivan was a minister's daughter, who wore boring brown sweaters every day, always tied her hair up in a bun, and always had her Bible with her. She is the girl that you would think of when you would imagine the person who gets made fun of in high school. She had never been on a date in her life, and Landon was one of the more popular boys in his high school.

Landon didn't have a date for homecoming, so he decided that he would ask Jamie because she was too sweet to say no and wouldn't have a date yet. When he asked, she said "promise me that you won't fall in love with me."

After a horrible night at homecoming, Jamie asked Landon to play the male lead in an upcoming Christmas play that was performed every year, and was a very big deal in the town. Landon didn't really want to, but Jamie talked him into it because she was playing the lead female and her father had written the play -- and Jamie wanted the play to be very special. After about two months of constant rehearsals, the play was performed and the town knew that this had been the best year ever. And Landon had to admit that it went well, and that he was falling in love with dorky Jamie. But there is a secret that Jamie was hiding from Landon. What could it possibly be? And why did she tell Landon not to fall in love with her?

This is another powerful love story from an author that makes you believe in love. Read this amazing novel to find out the secrets of Landon and Jamie.

A great and touching book. If you don't have one on your bookshelf then here's your chance.

I actually enjoyed the movie more.

Good, but way too sad.

I thought this book was a little corny, but I'd recommend it to fans of romance novels

Sad but really very good.

Another tear jerker, easy read.

great romantic read

Very good, very emotional, but worth it.

Grab a box of tissues! Wonderful story! Read in one sitting!

This book is amazing. Such a wonderful story. Emotional and quite a page turner.

my favorite author

Fantastic. If you like a tear jerker this one's for you.

Great book writer

Wonderful! Even better than the movie.

Yet another Nicholas Sparks classic. A young love between a high school senior and a minister's daughter in 1958.

This book was amazing..even so after I saw the movie. It's touching and inspiring.

A bit too rambling for my taste, but also not quite my genre.

Great book! I loved it!

This touching story of young love is so beautiful and sweet. It makes you rethink what most people would pass off as puppy love for sure. This is probably one of my favorite Sparks books. I have a good cleansing cry each time I read it. I am also reminded that love, no matter how short lived or how much it hurts when it's over, is always worth the ache.

Whether or not you have seen the movie, this beautiful love story will take you on an emotional journey of love, commitment, and a metamorphasis of its two characters. READ IT READ IT READ IT!!! You won't POSSIBLE regret it.

I think I would have liked it better if I had been a teenager when I read it. It's a sweet and innocence story, but a little too sappy for my current tastes.

Good Book Just Like The Movie

The book's a million times better than the movie!

I'll remember this the rest of my life. Brilliant!

Bittersweet...A tragic yet spiritual love story..

A romantic tale unwinds and will touch your heartstrings.

This is a beautiful story about two people from different world's coming together and not caring about what other's think. It's a little sad, but a great read. I'd definately recommend it. It is a little different from the movie also.

Another great one by Nicolas Sparks!!

Based off the movie. This is a very good book, a really moving tale of love.

A beautiful tale of everlasting love. Tragic and bittersweet.

very good

This book is different than the movie, but the story's heartbeat is the same.

Typical Sparks, short and emotional and well written.

Really good story, and really sad also!!!!

Wonderful book, I giggled and I cried.

Love it! Of course way better than movie! The time setting difference makes the book so much better!

Young love. Painfully sweet.

I love all of Sparks books. This is very good!

In 1958 Landon Carter is a shallow but well-meaning teenager who spends most of his time hanging out with his friends and trying hard to ignore the impending responsibilities of adulthood. Then Landon gets roped into acting the lead in the Christmas play opposite the most renowned goody two-shoes in town: Jamie Sullivan. Against his best intentions and the taunts of his buddies, Landon finds himself falling for Jamie and learning some central lessons in life.

Like John Irving's A Prayer for Owen Meany, Sparks maintains a delicate and rarely seen balance of humor and sentiment. While the plot may not be the most original, this boy-makes-good tearjerker will certainly reel in the fans. Look for a movie starring beautiful people or, better yet, snuggle under the covers with your tissues nearby and let your inner sap run wild.

great book!!

This is the sweetest, saddest, most wonderful love story I've ever read. I couldn't put it down.

really good- but sad- i cried

One of my favorite authors

Oh this was a very good book! Easy and quick read. Cried at the end!

You will laugh and really cry. Good for the heart

A sweet tale of youngbut everlasting love.

This is a great book! It made me cry it was so good. If you watched the movie...it really can't compare. The book was wonderful compared to the movie. The title of the book "A Walk To Remember" was a great title for the book, but there wasn't much of a walk to remember in the movie!

This is a sweet tale of young but everlasting love.. Nicholas Sparks knows how to tug at a reader's heartstrings. Set in Beaufort, North Carolina, the wind smells of both the sea and lilacs in April. This is the setting for a romance between a shy, almost ethereal girl of the town's Baptist minister and a young man in high school. This story has a tremendous depth that is in all of Nicholas Spark's books.

This is one of the most romantic stories ever, and is honestly much better than the movie!

Check out other books I have posted on this author. One of my favorites.

A great book for Young Adult readers.

What a great book... There where times when I had tears in my eyes.

Very good book.

Great Love Story!

This is a wonderful story of a teenager's personal growth, maturity and unconditional love. I give it my highest recommendation.

This is such a great story. Even though I had seen the movie and knew how the story would end, it was still as emotional as if I had no previous knowledge of the plot.

Just fabulous! Sobbed like a baby!!! Great story!

This is such a beautiful, sweet, "everlasting" love story that I could not put down. Nicholas Sparks is so good at tugging at your heartstrings!!! This is a book you will always remember!!! You will enjoy this!

The last paragraph in the Prologue sums up this book. "First you will smile, and then you will cry -." I started reading this book and couldn't put it down. It is a great book with a wonderful message. Makes you want to look at your own life.

This book is entertaining and heartwarming. A quick but pleasurable read!

Nicholas Sparks proves once again that is books are great reads..

I really like this author. This book was a nice quick read, but it definitely did make me cry.
