Amy
The Notebook will now and forever be my favorite book. I am an avid reader ( A book-a-holic at 27 I guess you would say) and Nicholas Sparks is my favorite author hands down. Whenever a new book hits the stands I can NOT pass it by without making the purchase. Everything he has written has touched me but I can't even let The Notebook out of my hands to let friends borrow for a while ...

I read this book and found that I had a very hard time putting it down. This book touched me in ways I didn't even know existed I realized that someone else had the same images of undying love. The kind that you only dream of and wish for every night. For anyone who is looking for the way to describe the kind of love that they are looking for I recommend this book. The romantic in all of us owe a great debt to Nicolas Sparks. Thank You for knowing what we needed.

Excellent - will there be a movie?


Laura
Even though I am only 16, once I read this book it reminded of the many things that I have been through in my life. I could relate to the book so much; it reminded me when my first love left me for the Navy... I didn't think that anything could relate to what I felt, but this book was so powerful and real that I found something that actually did what I felt justice. Nothing I have ever read has ever been as captivating as this book.
