Nicholas Sparks gives you a touching story that makes even the coldest of hearts melt. One wonderful story to hold onto for a lifetime.

I thought it was the most touching story I have ever read!!! Once I picked it up and started reading it I could not put it down!!!! It is an absolutley beautiful love story that I will always remember!! I can not even explain how I felt about that book when I was done reading it. It was wonderful! (18 years old)

I thought The Notebook was a realistic story and it was really visual with the intimacy that Noah and Allie share, the letters, and the poems which helps really feel what they were feeling. It was really touching and any girl would love to have someone love them the way he loved her. He still felt the same about her even when they were really old. It was true love.- (19yrs old)

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...
No Angel (12/26/03)

I'm picky with my 5's, but The Notebook is a great book--definitely the best by Nicholas Sparks. His other titles are too sappy and formulaic. This one is good, though. A very touching read. Very romantic. If you want to believe that true love exists, and that it can overcome everything, even the frailties of human memory, then read this book. It might even make you cry a bit.
