What an amazing book! This is truly one of the first books that ever really touched my true emotions. I laughed and cried, and even after the book was finished, my thoughts wondered and I knew that it was one of the best books I have ever read. Nicholas Sparks truly did an amazing book and I have to say-I just bought another book of his this afternoon.

As a 17 year old high school student, I thought this book was perfect. It tells of the things teenagers go through and how in the long run we follow our hearts and not our peers. This book holds a special place in my heart because it hits so close to home. My best friend died last year of cancer and I felt the pain that Landoin went through because I myself had felt it not so long ago. this book made me realize that I had not lost a friend, I just have one waiting for me in another place.

This book inspired me in ways that I never dreamed possible. The use of language and emotion can easily relate to many teenagers today and I would highly recommend this book to anyone. I don't know who can finish this book without shedding a tear of satisfaction.

This is one of the most incredible books ever. It touched my heart deeply. It depicts the strongest points of love, and what one does for real true love. I'm a 17 year old girl in high school, and this book shows how high school life before is as much as it is today. And I love it!

I think this is the best book I have ever read. I thought for the longest time it must have been a true story, because it is so beautifully written, like it was an old memory, that has been played through his head many times. I cant name you one thing that I disliked about the book. I don't think I've ever read such an unpredictable book. I couldn't put it down!

This book strikes hard and deep. This is the most touching book I have ever read. Even reading it twice doesn't diminish the feeling that it has engraved into my soul. The story is truly a picture of the joys and pain of living. It touches the very core of the God-given human heart. It endears to readers because it relates to the pain and happiness that each person feels. It shows that faith in God is as real as anything that is real. Its depth comes from the realization that faith in God molds people in every aspect. Its beauty comes from a love so deep and boundless. A love that God has given us to share with Him and to those we love. My greatest thanks to Sparks!

A Walk In The Woods: Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail

Walk in the Woods was a perfect choice for our book club. Even though we are quite lazy non-hiking ladies, we all remarked that we actually laughed out loud while we were reading this book. Our club members also like to dress like book characters and serve refreshments based on the book, so it was fun to wear hiking boots and eat Snickers.

I had read the reviews, as well as the glowing blurbs on the back, so read the book with high expectations. The book was OK, but I was quite disappointed. I certainly did not find the "mix of Dave Barry and John Muir". Bryson does not begin to approach either. I did not find a middle-aged man who could not, would not, cook for himself entertaining. I am not sorry I read it, but I just do not see what everybody else is so excited about.

This book was, to borrow a phrase from the author, "exceedingly funny". Every page, paragraph, and sentence was entertaining. Not only is it a humorous account of Bill's trek along the Appalachian Trail, but was also very informative about many facets affecting the trail including politics, history, and nature. Very well done, Mr. Bryson.

I have never enjoyed a book as much as these. The books were like holding a movie in front of you. I found myself laughing reading Neither Here Nor There even in my worst moods.

I absolutely loved it for two reasons. The first is the wonderful humor. I would read it on my train commute to and from work, and I would be laughing with tears in my eyes at some of his stories, especially bubba t. flubba in Wayne, Virginia. The second reason is more serious because I truly enjoyed the history that he told of the areas he hiked, plus the truth of how the natural areas in our country are at such a high risk from various causes. I would recommend this book to everyone. Mr. Bryson is a wonderful writer. I have now started reading "Neither Here Nor There" and have truly enjoyed the first two chapters.

I bought this book recently even though I do not normally read travel literature. I loved it. It's laugh-out-loud funny - I couldn't put it down, and have since bought the rest of Bill Bryson's books, though this one remains my favourite. You live every moment of the trail with the author - all the highs and lows (I liked the lows the best!) I don't usually read travel writing as I find it dull - though I am sure it was all very interesting to the writer who was there at the time. But this book you feel you were really there. Highly recommended.

Easy summer-time read. The characters are very believable...Barnaby's clients could be your parent or grandparent. You walk along with Barnaby Gaitlin watching him evolve from a delinquent teen to a man who is comfortable with the person he has become in spite of the wealthy family influences that are a constant reminder of what he could/should have been. It's a story about perceptions and the level of trust and the choices we make based upon those perceptions.

Two words,...Truly magical. Jewel Kilcher has a great ability for expressing her feelings, and I admire her for all she has done, and all she is.

This book was the complete and utter height of perfection in writing. Every syllable of every word was filled with emotion and inspiration. This book was everything and more and everyone should read it.

I found this book fascinating. It really hit a soft spot along with the other people I shared the book with. She is an excellent poet and am waiting for her to retrieve another book.

Truly enlightening! It finds that place in your heart, where we hide everything, and pulls out our emotions that relate to Jewels' poems.
