I am reading the Notebook by Nicholas Sparks.
Most people have seen the movie, The Notebook; it is a classic love story. I really enjoyed the movie. It was so sweet and sad at the same time. I guess that is what prompted me to read it (oh, and Susie’s recommendation). I was really curious to see if the book would match up to the movie. I’m the type of person who reckons that movies are always better than the books. But I wanted to be proven otherwise. And I think this might be the one (book) that will change my perspective.
Anyways, so far this book is fantastic! I love the author’s voice. Nicholas Sparks writes in such a smooth, compelling way; all the words and sentences much perfectly together. He is also very good at describing things. Here is one quote that proves this: “…Broken sunlight passed through the water oaks and hickory trees a hundred feet tall, illuminating the colours of fall…” Some authors’ ways of writing are choppy and confusing but
Even though much hasn’t happened yet, (Allie Nelson and Noah Calhoun have just reunited after the war) this book is so exciting and suspenseful. I guess that is because I am waiting for it to surprise me. I’m waiting for something to happen that didn’t occur in the movie, and hopefully it will!
So far I am really enjoying this book. And I have a feeling it will only get better:)

If you like this book, Sparks has written many other books as well. This is one of his most popular, but others are written in a similar style. His writings tend to be sad and often have a focus on a romance. Glad you like this one so far!
