The Notebook

De: Nicholas Sparks

Narrado por: Barry Bostwick

Experience the unforgettable, heartbreaking love story set in post-World War II North Carolina about a young socialite and the boy who once stole her heart—one of PBS's "Great American Reads".

Every so often a love story so captures our hearts that it becomes more than a story—it becomes an experience to remember forever. The Notebook is such a book. It is a celebration of how passion can be ageless and timeless, a tale that moves us to laughter and tears and makes us believe in true love all over again . . .

At thirty-one, Noah Calhoun, back in coastal North Carolina after World War II, is haunted by images of the girl he lost more than a decade earlier. At twenty-nine, socialite Allie Nelson is about to marry a wealthy lawyer, but she cannot stop thinking about the boy who long ago stole her heart. Thus begins the story of a love so enduring and deep it can turn tragedy into triumph, and may even have the power to create a miracle . . .

"The lyrical beauty of this touching love story . . . will captivate the heart of every reader."—Denver Rocky Mountain News

Chic book, but a good read (grunt, scratch)

Sparks creates a wonderful image of an old man near the end of his days, recollecting his past love.

I'm glad the movie was better

I was very shocked that the story was worse than the movie. I love the movie so much.. this was disappointing. I don't like the music throughout.. no need and just silly. I also don't like... "this i know"... he says that often in this book and the longest ride. that was a great story but the wording was not how a normal person would speak

Movie was better

I’m sorry, I know this is the rare, but the movie was far better than the book. I’m not sure why Sparks is so highly rated as a writer when much of his prose sounded flat and lifeless to me. A disappointment.

Review

This book is a great book that inspired one of my favorite movies. However, for the first time I was somewhat disappointed in the book rather then the movie.

AWESOME BOOK

Better than the movie. There is an interview at the end with the Author. Love

Heartwarming

This story is not my usual genre but it truly spoke to me. It reminded me of my dear husband who died recently.

kou

how the reminiscence of the past still holds the love true was probably by far one of the best feature of the book. what a great story.
