The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks
Type: Fiction, Love Story
My rating: 5 stars (out of 5)
Why I chose it: After posting back in July about what I refer to as my Love Story Trilogy, I read three other books and the whole time I was reading them all I was thinking about was re-reading the Love Story Trilogy.
What I liked about it: I love rough-cut pages, which this hardcover edition has so you're in for a treat right off the bat. This story of love-lost-and-found-again is so simply told and yet has such a dramatic impact. What amazes me most about this book is the length. This is a very short read by comparison to most books. Sparks uses simple settings and simple conversations to tell the story. Yet nothing is missed. The story is not cluttered with unnecessary descriptions but stays close to what is most important -- the deep, profound and timeless love that Noah and Allie have for each other.
If you love the characters of Noah and Allie, you might also like The Wedding by Nicholas Sparks, which is the sequel to The Notebook.
