Title: The Notebook
Author: Nicholas Sparks
Finished: April 4, 2009
Pages: 214
Published: 1996
Nicholas Sparks’ first novel about two young lovers who are separated after one summer together to lead their own lives only to have fate bring them back together years later.
I found a lot of hype around this love story of a modern Romeo and Juliet, and around the movie. While I enjoyed the movie and the book, I don’t think it’s going to be my favorite Sparks novel by far. It’s only my second by him, and yet it’s my second favorite. I find many times that the first novel for some authors is not their best and their writing grows over the years, so this may be true for Sparks.
However, I did enjoy this story of Allie and Noah and look forward to more Nicholas Sparks novels in the future.
