A Walk to Remember

The book I read was A Walk To Remember by Nicholas Sparks. Sparks has also written other books like The Notebook, The Choice, The Best ofme, and many more. One of the books that I have read in the past by Sparks Is The Choice, I feel that this book is very different from A Walk to Remember because of the way it's layed out. For Instance in The Walk To Remember the first couple of chapters you learn about the setting, you're also introduced to many different characters and their personalities. However I feel that in book The Choice you go straight to the point, then you start learning about some of the characters and their past. In this book you will follow Landon Carter to his journey on falling in love with a girl that no one expected he would fall in love with.

Landon carter grew up in a small town where everyone knew everyone and nothing was ever a secret for long. Landon’s father was almost never around because of his job, his father was always gone that it got to the point where Landon thought that everyone's dad had to go off to work for 9 months just like his dad. Jamie Sullivan is the daughter of a well known baptist form their town. Unfortunately before jamie was born her mother had several miscarriages, but the day jamie was born her mother lost her life at giving birth. She was raised by her father and never had that mother/friend to help her out in her hard times. Almost everyone liked her because she was nice, but they also thought she was a bit weird because she always carried around her bible.

I liked this story because of not only the romantic love in it, but because this is one of the first books that I have read that you can see the guys side of the story. Most books show the how girls tell their love story, but in this book it doesn't it's sort of like a plot twist. I also liked it because some words are so vivid that you can almost live/imagine what the book is telling you. “In 1958, Beaufort, North Carolina, which is located on the coast near Morehead City, was a place like many other small southern towns. It was the kind of place where the humidity rose so high in the summer that walking out to get the mail made a person feel as if he needed a shower, and kids walked around barefoot from April through October beneath oak trees draped in spanish moss...”.
