An Unforgettable Love Story
Something for the heart
The Notebook is the story of love found, lost, and found again. The plot is simple. There were these two teenagers who fell in love with each other on one fine summer day then, they were separated. Eventually years after, before the wedding of Allie (the girl who is now a woman), she set out to find him and when she did, old flames rekindled (WARNING!!! Sensual content.). But what they had for a couple of days is forbidden love thus, she had to make a choice.
"...sucker for love stories"
Nicholas Sparks masterfully transformed a simple story into an impeccable tale of unwavering passion and love. He is able to hit both the high and low notes of romance and even slips a few sensual hints along the way. Ladies, especially, will simply fall in love with the romantic and almost-the-perfect-guy-ishness character of Noah Calhoun.
Yes, the novel is quite mushy but what the heck, even a guy like me needs something romantic to digest from time to time. I may not fit it but I'm actually a sucker for love stories especially the Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan type.
The novel may not be a fast paced thriller nor is it a novel about kid wizards but it certainly ranks as one of my favourites. This is the kind of stories that makes you want to fall in love and for those who are already in love, this only re-affirms that tingling sensation within you. The only problem is, it's a little short for the likes of me. Good thing it has a sequel and guess what, I bought it.
I give this book (out of 5):
