A Walk to Remember has one of the best examples of God's transformative love that you will ever find in fiction.

Very slow book and it made me cry so i did not like this one bit ( )

this is my re-read of this book for the second time =)

Landon Carter has no thoughts of EVER dating Jamie, the town’s Baptist minister, a widower. Besides that, Jamie is just – SO SWEET and innocent. She helps out at the local orphanage, takes care of her father and stray animals. AND – carries her Bible with her schoolbooks.

Landon is a carefree teenager, hardly any serious thoughts except avoiding the responsibilities of adulthood, and in spare time hangs out with his counterpart friends. UNTIL – circumstances take him into close proximity to Jamie. Landon has no serious thoughts about love and marriage – and Jamie has a devastating secret she dare not tell him about.

So the love blossoms, changes Landon dramatically. And then the pain, the unfair pain, comes. So do my inner sobs, because I too remember. Whatever age you are, if you have a close companion, you will also face up to the deeper meaning of love and life.

Maybe you’re not ready for such an emotional journey. And that’s why you will love this book. ( )

This was another tearjerker by Nicholas Sparks, and man it did not disappoint. I found A Walk to Remember to be a very quick read, taking me less than two hours to finish, but not the best of all of his. Either way, it was still a good, quick read that I would recommend to anyone who wants a TFIOS sort of story.

The novel was set in the 50s, and did not disappoint in the slow build of a romance I expect from Nicholas Sparks. His view into the love life of two teenagers and their slow build of a relationship was very beautiful and well written. I would have liked a little more action to happen other than just watching a play being made, but it was still very good!

Overall, it was not my favorite book nor did it keep me very interested. The fact that it was short and sweet made it very easy to read.

Three out of five stars, due to lack of action/entertainment. ( )
