Book Reviews of A Walk to Remember

This was an absolutely captivating story. Sparks makes you look through the eyes of a 17 year old and makes you realize why you love your spouse so much! I know this is what it did for me. I fell more in love with my husband just knowing the amount of love a heart can feel. Ended a little different than I wanted, though.

A good, sappy book that is a quick read. I figured out what the title was referring to early into the book--but it was still engaging. When I say sappy, I mean a sweet tear-jerker -- perfect for a sappy-sapper like me.

This was my first Nicholas Sparks book that I read. I loved every word of the book. I finished the whole book in one sitting while I was on a airplane. The book was such a good book. Everyone should read this book!!!

I enjoyed this book though it was predictable.

Not one of my favorite Nicholas Sparks books, very perdictable. I was not going to finish it..But I made it through.

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.
