The bestselling author of Message in a Bottle and The Notebook returns with a deeply moving tale of first love and its transformational powers.
"When I was seventeen, my life changed forever"... So begins Nicholas Sparks' touching tale of Landon Carter, a teenage boy living in the small town of Beaufort, North Carolina in the late 1950s. Landon is a typical teenager who just wants to have a fun senior year before heading off to college. The last thing he anticipated is Jamie Sullivan, the sweet, pious daughter of the town's Baptist minister. But on the evening of Beaufort's annual Christmas pageant, Landon will undergo a change of heart that will forever alter the course of his life. In the months that follow, Landon discovers truths that it takes most people a lifetime to learn- truths about the nature of beauty, the joy of giving, the pain of loss, and, most of all, the transformational power of love.

This book is one of my favourite of Nicholas Sparks, if you are a fan of love stories, then you would definitely love this book. This story is talking about a girl named Jamie that is not popular at school, but very kind, she sings well, she would sing for the church, but wear the same sweater everyday. A boy named Landon, which was in the popular group, he looked down at Jamie at first, until one day, he found out that he is different, although he couldn't believe at first, but he fell in love with Jamie, and Jamie incurably fell in love with him too. Landon went from mean, vicious, to nice, good kid, everyone was shocked. When everything was going well, Landon found out that Jamie had a terminal disease that can not be healed, and didn't have much time. Instead of leaving her, Landon decided to stay by her side, marry her, take care of her for rest of her life. This book taught me that, every demon has an angel living inside, no matter how bad you are, there will always be a silver lining, you just have to try. This book would bring you tears, and warmth, I would recommend this book to everyone that's interested in love stories, enjoy!
I really enjoy reading this book, it makes be cry at the last part and makes me know that the troublemaker boy, Landon, even though he do things that are really mean to others, but after he fall in love with Jamie, he changed, and he is like a total different person, he don’t care about what other thinks, because he loves her, when you love someone, you wouldn’t care what others think. At last Jamie told Landon that she got cancer and she doesn’t have much time left, Landon didn’t leave her, he stays with her, and married her. After Jamie died, Landon started to study medical because of Jamie, and he still goes to Jamie’s house to visit her dad every single day. What Landon did let me thinks that he a really really nice man, and Jamie does deserve him, I think every girl would want to have that kind of boyfriend one day. When I read the book, it makes me cry a lot, and when I watch the movie, it makes me cry more, they are both good though, just that I’m very emotional.

A Walk To Remeber is a classic of Nicholas Sparks. This book perfectly describes how time is money. I really like the way the story goes and how the characters were both well developed with Landon being the trouble kid and Jamie, the nice and innocent daughter of the town's Baptist minister. personally, my favorite character would definetly be Landon, because throughout the story, you can see and feel how he changed from the beginning. I really liked this story a lot and the movie also. Sparks really brought this book to live and made the readers feel everything the characters are. I would recommend this book to people who like romance novels, and people at the age around 12~17, and you could maybe go check out some other Nicholas Sparks books if you liked this one.
