The Notebook – The first time I read this book, I surprised myself by the kind of raw emotion I could feel from reading. I was young, maybe 18, and the world seemed to be so big and full of possibilities. I have always been a hopeless romantic, so of course, I loved reading romance novels. The Notebook, however, isn’t your typical romance novel. It starts off with an elderly man, reading an old weathered, warn out, journal, to a woman in a hospital bed… Nicholas Sparks has the kind of talent, every author dreams of. His words can remove the reader from their seat and throw them directly into the book. I was taken to 1946, where a war veteran (Noah Calhoun) had recently returned home from WWII. His father passed away leaving him an old farm house. Naturally, Noah began to fix it up. |
Ultimately, this is their story. A beautiful tale of passion and intrigue. These delicate pages were made for anyone who has ever loved, or even those desperately wanting to find love.
Because I love Nicholas Sparks' writing so much, I have enclosed a link to his website. Which gives a synopsis of The Notebook, in his own words... Happy Reading, Friends!
