i hate reading books but because it's required in our english class, i have no choice. my classmate was the one who suggested this book, first i was kind of hesitant for it was about romance and stuff. gladly as i read the first chapters of the book i found out that it was interesting and then i liked it, i found myself finishing the whole pages of the book in 2 days. it was a great novel.

I was crying at the end of this book. He puts you in the middle of the scene and does not let you leave without the characters emitions.

My husband and I read this book together during our engagement. It has inspired us and we strive to deepen our relationship daily. We love reading his books together. Thank you Nicolas Sparks.

I was crying like a baby when i first read the book! Nicholas Sparks writes as if he's telling his own emotions to you. It reminds us that indeed true love exists and that there are Noah's out there capabale of giving and expressing it! It made me long for someone like him to come my way. CHEERS to the author for coming up with such a romantic story!

The Notebookl exceeds any other love story ever told. It is all that love is; truth, beauty and how it ironically convinces our minds that their is nothing more important. Nothing more important than the search for love, which guides us. Read this book.
