This is a real good love story. Nicholas Sparks did an excellent job in telling it in his book. Of course I liked the book better. They changed some things in the movie that I wish they hadn't. Altho the overall story was the same in the movie as it was in the book. I feel it would have been better if they would have stuck to the original story. But then again, that's always the way it goes, when they make a movie out of a book. The book is always better! ~Thank you... Hopes this helps
Thank God for Kevin!

A good love story. It shows how you can love again. Wish the ending had been different. I want all good things to end well. It is a good tear jerking movie.
The movie has an unusual story---and I get wound up in deep stories like this. But the sad ending just helped me make better resolve to care for the relationships I have and treasure---to do a better job.
