For all those people that think this book is a waste of time, THINK AGAIN! Not only is this book heartwarming it also makes you think about how lucky you actually are. BUT for those people that are in love with the movie this book is a little different... BUT, it is still GREAT!!! Definitely worth the read!

Classic! This is a rare case where I liked the movie more than the book.

I had great expectations from this book. It has been recommended to be by many people and I was waiting for more than 6 years to9 find someone who could lend me a copy. But everyone I knew had lent it to some friend who had lost it; so I missed that chance. I finally bought my own copy last month.

I got around to reading it today because there was no electricity and my brother had reserved the laptop before I could get my hands on it. The reading was easy and I had read 78 pages before I knew.

The book was good, but I did not enjoy it that much. perhaps, "enjoy" is the wrong word; I did not find the roller-coaster emotional ride that Sparks promises in the prelude:

"First you will smile, and then you will cry -- don't say you haven't been warned..."

I loved "The Notebook" and I was expecting that this one would be even better; but perhaps I had build up too much hype about the book :(
It was still a good read though, a very touching story and that is the reason why I still give it four stars!
