What They Had To Say

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.

ialthough I have never read the book I will admit i have seen the movie........and I liked it. I do think any critic who bleives the Note Book is really that bad does not need to be a critic. You are so right when you say every one has an opinion. You are always going to find that one person out there that hates what you love.
