i've read a walk to remember and the notebook. book-wise, i liked a walk to remember much better. they were both great books though, and i read them really quickly. love-type stories aren't really my thing, so that's as far as i'm going with nicholas sparks  |

The Rescue... It's pretty ok. Nothing outragious, but about a man placing a wall up in his present life because of an event that had happened in the past. It's pretty interesting, dealing with the issues of a child with learning/speaking disability (slower than normal). I remembered there was this one part the led me to tears. Sparks have a way of developing something in a short time to make you connect or feel for it, then... ;D I don't really want to spoiled it for you. But it's an ok book. Dealing much with (forgot main girl name) the girl trying to understands Taylor (main character, and did I spell that right?). Their relationship goes through all these downhills and uphills because of a past that he cannot erase. You draw your decision and think is it a good read.  |

I love Nicholas Sparks.. i wonder does he do a tour or anything to sign autographs bc i want to meet him soooo bad!! hes awesome... Oh, I think he did like a few months back. He toured around few cities and gave out autographs. I want to meet him, too. Such a creative writer. A Bend in The Road is pretty good, too. However, it's pretty predictable. I don't know, but when reading the summary at the back of the book, you could kind of guess who's the person. Lol... Well, The Guardian was an ok book for me. Haha... Everything seems ok except The Notebook. Anywho, I kind of dragged on that book and it took me nearly a month to complete it. Haha... |

Lol... You're quite similiar to me. However, for me, instead of starting at the middle, I usually read the last chapter and then go back from the beginning to understand what meant what. Haha... Strange, but suspense is deadly. ;D

Haha... I flipped through the pages in A Bend in the Road just to find out who did what he/she did. I kind of suspected the person, but had to make sure. Haha... And when I founded the part, I was like OMG... what happened? I need explanations! Then, flip back to the front and hurried myself to read quicker. Haha... ;D

Anyway that book is good... im happy about the ending.. i cried.. i was like omg thats what they did on their date... romantic... with the candle thing... but thats so sad about Brian.. ppl wld know what im talking about... its a good book.. everyone needs to read it! I'm in the middle of A Walk to Remember now... its soo good.. but the thing is its based in the 50s but the movie they had in the modern days... weird how they changed it.. oh well. |

I know. I remebered reading AWTR and then when a trailer came up for it, I was like a bit lost. I thought AWTR was suppose to be like in the past. The entire plot was change, keeping just the idea of a boy falling in love with a girl totally different from him, and she had cancer. I thought the book was way better. ;D

Yea i know... I told my mom that I totally like awtr book better than the movie.. she was like whaaaaaat why? I was like well theirs more details in the book like they went to the homecoming dance together, the orphange, and the reading bible sections... i mean they didnt do that in the movie.. it was just more powerful in the book i thought.. besides any love story is the best in the 40s and the 50s... thats when the simplicity was around... so it was pure back then.. |
