A Walk to Remember by Nicholas Sparks


My rating: 5 of 5 stars


A Walk to Remember is Landon Carters story from the year he was seventeen. The story is told as Landon, now fifty-seven, revisits his past and the year that would change him for the rest of his life. His rememberings take us back to the year 1958 in the small town of Beaufort, North Carolina. He was a senior in high school with a solid group of friends and hopes of making it through a good last year and heading off to the University of North Carolina the following fall. But little did he know that it would be nothing like what he had expected. Landon would learn many leasons and be forced to change the way he looks at life. And what would cause this change was a shy, quiet girl named Jamie Sullivan that Landon had gone to school with since kindergarten. Jamie would be the one to teach Landon the true meaning of life, and most of all what it mean to love someone.

This is an unbelievably moving story of a teenag boy that is forced to face many strugles that many people never face as long as they live. It is filled with joy, heartbreak and most important of all love. This novel will leave you with tears in your eyes and a true appreciation for life. Sparks has truly created a story to remember.

I would strongly recommend this book. If you are someone who loves to read a good tear-jerker now and then I promise you that you will fall in love with this book. This is a sincerely great love story that you will not soon forget.
