the movie was slightly different from the book. for me, the book was better.

Since Nicholas Sparks is so highly overrated (yes, that's redundant), I've tried to understand why by reading his books A Walk To Remember, The Notebook, Message In A Bottle, and Nights in Rodanthe; all of them failed to impress me. Were they touching? I guess. But all of them pretty much have the same running them of that lost love, and that's something already unbelievably played out.

As for A Walk to Remember specifically, I remember that Jamie annoyed the crap outta me because of her Christianity, but then again, I'm not into the whole god thing. I don't remember much more than that other than the general storyline since I read his works well over a year ago, and I'm not going to reread the same lackluster romance novels again when I didn't enjoy them the first time.

I think slighty is a bit of an understatement.

It's waaayyy diff from the movie.

The book is 4583154531845184248452486x better than the movie.

Eh, I dislike his books a lot. And once you meet him in person you hate them even more. He lives on the river here where I live. Hes a complete a-hole. I promise you that. His wife is rather nice though.

Hes like making a catholic school here.
Or was.. I don't really know whats going on with it now

I watched hte movie before I read the book and then got really disapointed. Before reading the book i thought the movie was awesome but after reading the book I was so disapointed in the movie it was nothing like the book.

hey. i finished reading the book. it was okay i guess probably because i watched the movie before the book so i knew what would kind of happen. it wasn't as sad though because the movie was different from the book.

it was a required summer reading for us last year. i read it way before then though. i liked the book more than the movie because the movie is like missing some stuff (i think, i don't remember). but yeah, i thought it was pretty good even though nicholas sparks' themes are like all the same and usually end up in a really sad ending

It was good! I loved the book. It's such a cute love story.

I read the book before I watched the movie too. After I finished reading the book I remember I was like, "Wait. This is written by a man?" omg.gif

Isn't The Wedding a sequel to it? Or no, wait. It's the sequel to The Notebook. My bad.
My Cinderella.
I've never read it. But I want to.
