It seems like no one could really understand the ending of the notebook...do they really make love before she dies or what??? I had to re-read the whole ending so many times to try and figure out if it was a dream or whatever and I found this:
At the end of The Notebook has Noah passed away, is he dreaming or is the ending literal?
Nicholas responds: "Noah was not dreaming; the ending is what it is."
Give me your opinions...

[glow=red,2,300]I think we're led to believe that they make love at the end of the book, though it's not spelled out for us. I definitely don't think Noah was dreaming...the book ends on a hopeful note, instead of making us sad (like it would have if the scene had continued and Allie forgot him again.) I think the book ends that way to make us a little happier (most of us needed it after crying all the way through the last few chapters  . I like to think that they make love at the end...how sweet  (though the thought of that disgusted my friend, hahaha. [/glow] |

It ends with her remembering him, at least momentarily, before she forgets again and the whole thing repeats itself. The ending just illustrates how love can create miracles and defy all concept of logic.  |

i didn't like the ending  I thought it was kinda gross, 2 80 something year olds having sex? I mean, Noah had prostate cancer, had a stroke in half of his body, and Allie could be on the verge of another breakdown at any moment. I just don't think they'd be physically capable, haha. My interpretation was that they both died, and they were making love in heaven, where they were young again I know this sounds kinda cruel, but I just didn't care for it |

Hehe, that's great. If what Katryna said is true, and they weren't physically capable, and Nicholas Sparks had kept writing the scene...can you imagine that? Noah: "Oh, I'm sorry, baby...I just can't seem to, uh, perform..." Allie: "Well, my hip is going out, anyway, and...wait...who are you?!?" Okay, sorry, that was cruel. I loved the ending just the way it was, and I'll just pretend that they were able to make wonderful, beautiful love...or maybe they just cuddled, hehe. |
