Product Description
A man picks up a faded, well-worn notebook and begins reading to a frail elderly woman, his voice recalling the heartbreaking story of two star-crossed lovers and their poignant, bittersweet journey to happiness. So begins this touching novel that is a dual tale of love lost and found, and of a man's gentle battle to reach an aging woman who cannot remember the most cherished moments of her life. New Line Cinema is developing a screenplay from the novel. A LG main selection.

Amazon.com Review
"Somewhere," muses Noah Calhoun, while sitting on his porch in the moonight, "there were people making love." The Notebook, a Southern-fried story of love-lost-and-found-again, revolves around a single time-honored romantic dilemma: will beautiful Allison Nelson stay with Mr. Respectability (to whom she happens to be engaged), or will she choose Noah, the romantic rascal she left so many years ago?

teary ending ( sherbearsla )
This was my first book by SPARKS. I could not put it down, I wanted to find out what happened to Noah and Allie. The last chapter was really the teary one, My heart went out to Noah. It took me only one day to read. This will not be the last from him.

The Notebook
What a compelling love story. Anyone in love would want to endure this kind of everlasting relationship with someone.
Noah and Allie, two teens unbidden to love one another, do so heart and soul. A summer fling leaves these two devoted to one another, deep within the heart. Allie's parents take her back to her hometown, leaving Noah behind. Noah writes to her for fourteen years, and Allie never returned a single letter. When Allie finally finds her mate, something brings her back to New Bern. Instantly, when she looks at Noah, the feeling are brought into reality. They both realize how much they love one another and cannot be without one another. However, Allie still loves her fiance and does not want to disappoint her parents because they do not approve of Noah.
Then, we are taken to a nursing home where Noah resides. Down the hall is a very special woman that he reads to daily. We then, find out the story about Allie and Noah, how their relationship started and how much they truly love one another. This story is so special and unique, that it will stay with you for a lifetime.

Enjoyed my first Sparks Novel
Having partially seen the movie, I knew a little of what to expect from the novel. What I loved was the length (not overly long) and the superb portrayal of the leading characters. The love scenes are tastefully written (and that is a rarity these days). I read this on the kindle so I was a little surprised that I seemed near the end of the book but the progress dots were well before the end. The last chapter, while a necessary part of the story, is a little long and did lose me a little.
Well done for an excellent novel - it was my first Nicholas Sparks novel but it won't be my last.
