I wanted to read this before seeing the movie- BOTH were awesome! But of course the book is better! This book is for women and men- it took me back to my first love, childhood and into adult hood. It makes you take a different take on the things you have done and haven't done in your life- It spoke to me inside and out - I laugh and I cried several times! It is just so awesome that words can't describe all it made me feel because of deep emotions that obviously laid dorment for years! Before I had read this book this "love story" type fictional book was NOT the kind of book of choice for me - but now I have to get another one! Awesome Author that paints such an awesome picture with great ease- I will definantly get more from him! THIS IS A MUST READ BOOK AND MUST TELL A FRIEND about it book! Happy reading....(oh yeah if you are a man- don't read it in front of anyone you may not want to cry in front of!) If you need a good cry...or if you are a writer then this one is for you...(as it sure made me get on a writing frenzy!)Read full review
This book is interestingly written. It is a romantic story; however, the love scenes are tastefully done and should offend no one. The Notebook could be read in an evening or two, but I chose to read it more slowly and savor the moments. This book has renewed my interest in reading, and I will definitely read more books by Nicholas Sparks. The Notebook will touch your heart, so be prepared to weep. My only complaint about this book: it is hard to read the print when your eyes are filled with tears! Definitely worth the time, The Notebook will uplift and inspire, and leave you with a renewed faith in true love.
I decided to buy this book after watching the movie. It was well worth the money! The love story is timeless and Nicholas Sparks does an excellent job of bringing the characters to life! This book is heartwarming and sincere. It gives you hope that true love is still alive, and can prevail over anything. I believe that Nicholas Sparks is going to be one of the greatest writers our generation shall know! I highly recommend this book to everyone!
Sometimes you read the book first and then watch the movie, but I did it the other way around this time. I've only read the first chapter of the book but have to say, so far, that the movie wins by a landslide. Maybe the rest of the book will turn out to be better, but then again I may just be disappointed. The plot that the book squished into the first ten pages make up the majority of the film. I am a huge fan of Nicholas Sparks, so that is why I bought this book (among 8 of his other books). If you are a hopeless romantic, I HIGHLY recommend any Nicholas Sparks book!!!
We saw the play in New York and wanted to compare. Slightly different but we love Nicholas Sparks. Can’t go wrong.

After seeing the movie, I really wanted to read the book because books tend to have so much more than the movie, which is a condensed version, usually. The book is very good as I suspected that it would be. I feel that it will be one of those stories that will be a lifetime favorite of mine like Titanic. The movie actually did not follow the same path as the book, however, both are equally wonderful with the same meaning behind both!
My and wifey enjoy this movie we enjoy a good romance

I had seen the movie, and loved it, so I definitely wanted to read the original work. I was not disappointed. It is alternately funny, passionate and sad. It beautifully demonstrates the exquisite pain of losing a loved one to Alzheimer's and/or Senior dementia. Definitely a must read - just keep a box of tissues close by!
