Since I have been alive no matter what you do or how you do it someone always has an opinion on what they thought about what you did. So I have found a few reviews on my favorite book, some are good and some are bad. But the most important thing to me is that I thought the book was great, but it is nice to get others thoughts as well.
“A man with a faded, well-worn notebook open in his lap. A woman experiencing a morning ritual she doesn't understand. Until he begins to read to her. The Notebook is an achingly tender story about the enduring power of love, a story of miracles that will stay with you forever.” I found this quote from the Jacket and it reveals that they thought that this story was just breathe taking and is a story that you will cherish and take with you as long as you can remember because the story is so moving and is all about true love.
However, Peter Travers had a different view of the notebook and said that” I have the same allergic reaction to this open faucet of tear-jerking swill as I do to the 1996 Nicholas Sparks novel that inspired it. It's two cringe-worthy love stories for the price of one: Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams star in the 1940s flashbacks, with James Garner and Gena Rowlands -- mom of the film's director, Nick Cassavetes -- doing nursing-home duty in the present day. Their careers will survive, but there's no way to endure the movie without earplugs and a blindfold.” This review plainly tells how he feels about the whole book and movie, and that is he has no absolute use for either one. He would rather be sticking himself with needles than reading or listening.
After reading the two reviews I realized that many people have different opinions about so many different things. And all that everything comes down to is that you either like it or you don’t and it is as simple as that.

Coming Soon a Feature Presentation
Do you believe in love at first sight? Well no many people do but in my favorite book, “The Notebook” by Nicholas Sparks”, this book can prove to a person more than once that love at first sight can exist.
The first time that I ever saw this book I thought to myself do I want to read this or do I not want to read this book. I had already watched the movie and loved it, and I have always been told that the book is better than the movie, so I thought to myself and said want don’t I just the chance to do something that I do not usually do and sit down and read this book. Now I am the kind of person that if I am not into something within the first few pages then I will never pick it up again, well the minute that I started reading this book I was so into it.
The thing about the book that drew me to it more and more was that it was based in NC, and to me that meant a lot knowing that the beaches that I walk on when I go to the beach have been wrote about and have made it known across the country. The book showed that NC is a beautiful place to enjoy over the summer, but what it also demonstrated was that you can find love on summer vacation.
“The Notebook,” is a book about two young adults, Noah Calhoun and Allison Hamilton, who fall in love over the summer. It all starts when Noah sees Allie at the fair and he told his friend Fen that that girl was the beautiful girl that he had ever seen. Fen told him that he did not have a chance and she was a rich girl and was only here in Seabrook for the summer. Well over time Noah and Allie fall in love and at the end of the summer are forced to go different ways. Over the years Noah write but does not get a reply so he decides to enlist in WWII with Fin who gets killed. After war Noah moves back and restores the Windsor Plantation. Allie is getting fitted in her wedding dress to Lon Hammond who is a rich lawyer, when she sees a picture of Noah and falls back in love with him. From that point on she found Noah they were inseparable once again.
To me this is just a story of proof that love can truly happen at first sight. You may not spend a life together right away but if you really love someone then time does not matter and it can wait a life time.
