A Walk to Remember by Nicholas Sparks MAG

November 17, 2008
By Anonymous

Set in Beaufort, North Carolina, in the 1950s, A Walk to Remember tells the story of 17-year-old Landon Carter, who learns to live life differently after meeting Jamie Sullivan. Initially, Landon is the kind of guy who cares too much about what people think of him. But when Jamie comes into the picture, he only cares about being with her.

Things are looking up for Landon, until Jamie drops a bomb that changes their lives forever.

In A Walk to Remember, the characters take time to get to know each other and end up falling in love. Like other novelists of realistic fiction, Nicholas Sparks emotionally engages the reader. A Walk to Remember ­reminded me of all of Lurlene McDaniel’s novels, because both authors use themes of love and death.

A Walk to Remember is a book that you will not want to put down until you’ve reached the last page, because Sparks draws the reader in with emotions, descriptions, love, and death. For those who enjoy novels that touch your heart and make you think about real life, A Walk to Remember is perfect for you.

Although I really like the plot but it feels like it was written by an amateur writer. I noticed a lot of redundant words and phrases. The novel doesn't look fluid. The author seemed to struggle from constructing the story. His earlier novels are much better written. Sorry... I liked the movie better.

Book Review Outline Book title and author:  A Walk to Remember Nicholas Sparks Title of review:  My Favorite book! Number of stars (1 to 5): 4.9 Description and summary of main points She fell in love with a boy named Landon. Her dad was a preacher of a church. She finally tells why she was shy and sick.  The girl and the boy are two different types of people. People you would not expected to be together. Evaluation It is a very good written book. It is a tear jerker for sure.  It is very different than other types of books. It is a very sad ending. She finally finds someone she wants to spend the rest of her life with. Once you start reading this book you won’t want to put it down. Conclusion A girl finds a boy that wants help with his lines in a play. She helps him and something happens between them. They get into arguments, and they are in the play together. At the end a tragedy  happens to the father and the boy.

This didn't really seem like a book review it was more of a book report. It sort of spoiled the book for me!! the last paragraph was good  though and its what inspired me to read it... :)

I personally didn't like this book. I thought it was horribly written. Deffinitely one of Sparks worst pieces and I usually do really like his books. Honestly, I thought this book could've been meant for a fourth grader to read. I'm surprised I actually enjoyed the movie a lot better.

Hi, Mrs. HarryPotter. I read A Walk to Remember when I was fourteen, and there was no inappropriate or graphic content. :)

By the way, LOVE your username!
