(  )mamf | Apr 29, 2009 | I love this book. It's beautiful. The movie is pretty good too, except they added a lot of junk that isn't in the book at all and they changed 'his' role dramatically from being a bored highschooler to being a rebellious highschooler. It's PG-13 so it's up to you(and your parents...) to decide if you watch it. (  )I_recommend | Apr 8, 2009 | I must have been in the mood for a romantic read because I absolutely loved it. I could not put it down & I needed a box of Kleenex beside me when I finished. So heart warming. Nicholas Sparks never dissapoints, at least not for me.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0446693804, Paperback)In the prologue to his latest novel, Nicholas Sparks makes the rather presumptuous pledge "first you will smile, and then you will cry," but sure enough, he delivers the goods. With his calculated ability to throw your heart around like a yo-yo (try out his earlier Message in the Bottle or The Notebook if you really want to stick it to yourself), Sparks pulls us back to the perfect innocence of a first love.In 1958 Landon Carter is a shallow but well-meaning teenager who spends most of his time hanging out with his friends and trying hard to ignore the impending responsibilities of adulthood. Then Landon gets roped into acting the lead in the Christmas play opposite the most renowned goody two-shoes in town: Jamie Sullivan. Against his best intentions and the taunts of his buddies, Landon finds himself falling for Jamie and learning some central lessons in life. Like John Irving's A Prayer for Owen Meany, Sparks maintains a delicate and rarely seen balance of humor and sentiment. While the plot may not be the most original, this boy-makes-good tearjerker will certainly reel in the fans. Look for a movie starring beautiful people or, better yet, snuggle under the covers with your tissues nearby and let your inner sap run wild. --Nancy R.E. O'Brien (retrieved from Amazon Sun, 14 Jun 2009 23:41:07 -0400) The first test round has been closed. Visit the Open Shelves Classification group for details. |
