The Notebook Kindle Edition
Every so often a love story so captures our hearts that it becomes more than a story-it becomes an experience to remember forever. The Notebook is such a book. It is a celebration of how passion can be ageless and timeless, a tale that moves us to laughter and tears and makes us believe in true love all over again...
At thirty-one, Noah Calhoun, back in coastal North Carolina after World War II, is haunted by images of the girl he lost more than a decade earlier. At twenty-nine, socialite Allie Nelson is about to marry a wealthy lawyer, but she cannot stop thinking about the boy who long ago stole her heart. Thus begins the story of a love so enduring and deep it can turn tragedy into triumph, and may even have the power to create a miracle...

A classic tale of love.-- "Christian Science Monitor"
"Destined, positively, for success."
-- "Kirkus Reviews""A one-night read...Sparks generates authentic emotional power...If you are in need of a good cry, The Notebook is absolutely the right book."

-- "Library Journal""Nicholas Sparks...will not let you go. His novel shines."
-- "Dallas Morning News""Proves that good things come in small packages...A classic story of love found, lost, and regained...Sparks has a winning combination of style and story...A classic tale of love."
-- "Christian Science Monitor"The lyrical beauty of this touching love story . . . will captivate the heart of every reader.-- "Denver Rocky Mountain News "
A more romantic testament to love's enduring miracle than Robert James Waller's TheBridges of Madison County.-- "Library Journal"
"The Notebook is a deeply moving portrait of love itself, the tender moments and the fundamental changes that affect us all. Shining with a beauty that is rarely found in current literature, this book establishes Nicholas Sparks as a classic storyteller with a unique insight into the only emotion that really matters."

A well written story with such wonderful detail that you can actually see it as described. You know that the love is real.
The characters reach out and squeeze your heart, as if you are one of them.
The evil disease, Alzheimer’s has taken Allie away from Noah…or has it?
When he begins reading to her from memories, from the past she would sometimes return to him.
Although, only temporarily , Noah has her once more.
Beautifully written. I look forward to other books by this author.
There is Lon, the parallel Cal. The mother coming after both Rose and Allie to convince her not to change wedding plans. Noah asking Allie, 'Do you love him?' Jack asking Rose, "It's a simple question, do you love the guy or not?" Almost verbatim.
And the final scene in Titanic: is Rose dreaming or has she died? The final scene in Notebook: Has Allie come out of her dementia for good because of his enduring love and commitment or will she return to her amnesiac state in the morning? My heart will go on??
I did like the concept of an old man trying to regain his wife's memory by telling her the story of their life together but this wasn't exactly that. We never learn why they loved each other so much or what held them together through the years. Magic? Real relationships just do not work this way, sorry. I'm as romantic as the next girl but there is reality and then there is pure, sappy, corny fairy tale. The dialogue, though almost none, is contrived. Even in the 30s and 40s, people did not speak this way. I would have loved to have read more dialogue in flashback to explain why their bond was so strong, not just a couple repeated lines in long narrative stating how much they adored each other for no obvious reason. One of the basics of good writing is 'don't tell, show.' This book is basically someone telling you they were soulmates destined to die in each other's arms but never shows you how or why.
The characters are such stereotyped clichés. Blonde, green eyed, flawless girl who's intelligent, educated etc. Really? Wasn't she supposed to have been in college during the Depression? Did women often go to college in the early 40s? I thought this was unlikely even for a girl with money considering the time period. And Noah. Where to begin? Every woman's dream, right? Handsome as hell, muscular, mysterious, rugged, manly in every way you could imagine while being able to cite complex poetry and serenade his lady love while with a guitar while sitting under an oak tree.
Wow. Cornball, anyone?
The only reason I didn't hate this story is because I really did like the premise of old Noah trying to awaken old Allie. I admit that I did shudder when Allie French kisses him at the end but I guess the point there was made, however disturbing.
In summary, if you ever wondered what would have happened had Jack Dawson not died on the Titanic, this pretty much explains it.
