 A Walk to Remember Poetry Book of the week Members Guestbook Home |
-------------------------------------------------------------------------- Every April, when the wind blows in from the sea and mingles with the scent of lilacs, Landon Carter remembers his last year at Beaufort High. It was 1958, and Landon had already dated a girl or two. He even swore that he had once been in love. Certainly the last person in town he thought he'd fall for was Jamie Sullivan, the daughter of the town's Baptist minister. A quiet girl who always carried a Bible with her schoolbooks, Jamie seemed content living in a world apart from the other teens. She took care of her widowed father, rescued hurt animals, and helped out at the local orphanage. No boy had ever asked her out. Landon would never have dreamed of it. Then a twist of fate made Jamie his partner for the homecoming dance, and Landon Carter's life would never be the same. Being with Jamie would show him the depths of the human heart and lead him to a decision so stunning it would send him irrevocably on the road to manhood… ------------------------------------------------------------------- *MY REVIEW* This book brought tears to my eyes. My first novel by Mr. Sparks made a great first impression. I saw the movie first (which was wonderful) which inspired me to read the book. I came to realize that movie was in some ways very different from the book. The book was based in the 50's and the movie the in present. There were many other differences between them also. I loved how this novel made you feel. I am a avid Nicholas Sparks fan reader because of this book. |
