The Notebook Review:

The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks


"I am a common man with common thoughts, and I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I've loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough."



The Notebook, a Southern-fried story of love-lost-and-found-again, revolves around a single time-honored romantic dilemma: will beautiful Allison Nelson stay with Mr. Respectability (to whom she happens to be engaged), or will she hook up with Noah, the romantic rascal she left so many years ago? We're not telling, but you have two guesses and the first one doesn't count. Decades later, after Allison develops Alzheimer's, her beau uses "the notebook" to read her the story of the great love she's plumb forgot.


The story touched my heart and spoke to me in a very strong way. This book makes you want to fall in love all over again. It tells of love we all seek and very few of us find. A lasting and enduring love,the book opens with a short introduction by an old man, and then launches into a love story.We all need to escape into a perfect world every now and then and experience the meaning of true love.
