What I was Able to Find

Now that I told you what my favorite book is, what the critics think, what the book means to me, and something about someone in the book. Now I will give you some information on what I have researched to go in greater detail about the book The Notebook.
This book was written by Nicholas Sparks, he said that ". . . It wasn't easy to come up with the plot for my first novel, but in the end, I decided to go with something that I knew I could do." Sparks began writing The Notebook in 1989, and the book was inspired by his wife's grandparents. Sparks says that "they are two wonderful people who spent over 60 years together." That is a long time for anyone.
The Notebook was the first novel that Sparks had ever written. There are many reviews on the book and everyone that has read the book has said almost the same thing and that is "A beautiful love story, possibly the most beautiful ever told. A tale never forgotten. It is one for the romantics, love conquers all. " For me, after i read a review and read how the way that it is said to make you feel while you are reading the book and you will never forget it, I am going to read the book right away. The books has also been known to stay over a year at number one on the New York's Best Sale's List which is hard to do i both hard back and paper.
Sparks has been married to his wife since 1989 and they have resided in the coastal region of North Carolina ever since. The couple has had five children over the years (Sparks). Over the past thirteen years Sparks has written over ten novels and has used the names of his children as well as other family members or people that are close to them as characters in the novels that were inspired by stories of the people that he knew.
Over time the book as kept its honor and everyone still talks about the book as if it was written yesterday. This is a true book that will stay a classic forever because you can not find a story that is so close to being true and not keep it with you through life's long journey.

The information you gave about the Notebook was great, but you lost me a few times during the reading. For example if I had not known what you were talking about from the beginning, I would not have known what book you were talking about.

I also enjoyed The Notebook, it was a wonderful romance. I have not yet had a chance to read the novel but one of these days I sure will. I like the fact that the idea of the story came from real people. To me real people make the story much more real. I can feel like can relate to their ups and downs. A very good movie and nice blogs; keep them coming. That’s supposed to be funny, because class is over.
