My first Nicholas Sparks book and I really enjoyed it, but i think the movie was a tad better. I still cried though because this story is so sweet and heartbreaking. One of the best romances.

This was just too sickly sweet for me.

I didn't really care for this one to be honest. I am not a big fan of sappy romances and I guess that I've outgrown Sparks. I didn't particularly care for the characters or the story. The ending was sad yes but it didn't really make me feel as emotional as I used to get years ago when I first read his books.
The story is all right, the characters were all right, but I expected more from this book considering how famous it is and how good the movie is.

Y no es la primera vez que la adaptación cinematográfica transforma la historia original en algo muchísimo mejor de lo que el autor pudo hacer... muy triste.
No estoy diciendo que fuera en exceso malo, pero creo que la personalidad y forma en que se desenvuelven los personajes fue muy dramática y poco verosímil para mi gusto. A veces no todo es pajaritos y colores, incluso cuando la trama tiene algo como la leucemia dentro de sus planes.

This book is rather short but entertaining.
It's sweet and romantic and follows the same heartbreaking course that every Nicholas Sparks book seems to follow. Boy and girl meet. They fall in love. One of them dies. The other one lives on to see another day.
But it's the journey rather than the destination that's important.
I liked the characters of Landon and Jamie. And I liked how this book was set in the past - unlike the movie which was modern day.
