OMG!!! i jus love dis book ..... i want love like that!!
Laura

The Notebook is inspiring. Sparks tells the story with passion. It starts out as a common, round-about book, that I've read so many times . . . but by the end . . . I'm captivated. The first time I read the book was when I was 13. Now I'm 16, and it seems like I've read it hundreds of times . . . never getting enough. Allie and Noah's romance has made me look forward to Love, but also to be patient and not to give up hope. It's a classic.

This book grabs hold of you and doesn't let go. It's a one night read. One of the most romantic love stories I have ever read. It shows the dedication of a husband to his sick wife...
