THE NOTEBOOK by Nicholas Sparks is the love story of a man and a woman destined to be together. The novel starts with an old man reading out of a notebook, and the story he reads is his story. We meet Noah, a simple young man who falls in love with a girl who is visiting town for the summer, Allie Nelson. They have a brief yet intense romance. Their love was not meant to be, however. Allie's family comes from upper class southern roots, and they do not approve of her dating a man of Noah's background. The two are forced to separate and over the years they live out their lives, not knowing that they still loved each other.But as Noah had predicted, destiny brought them back together, and we meet the two again years later, with Allie engaged and about to be married to a highly successful lawyer (Lon), and Noah living alone in a house he had told Allie years ago he would fix up and restore. He lives alone, and still dreams of Allie. When Allie sees this house in the newspaper, she goes to find him on a whim. What happens between them after being reunited is what dreams are made of.The story in the notebook ends before the reader can know what really happened between Lon, Noah, and Allie. Did Allie stay true to her promise and marry Lon? Or did she choose Noah? The reader does not find this out til the last chapter.I found this book a very fast read. This is my second Nicholas Sparks book, and as with MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE, I enjoyed THE NOTEBOOK very much. Both were tear jerkers. I really can't say which book I enjoyed better, but I will certainly read his other books. This book is a definite MUST READ for all those who love a good romance. I would not be surprised to see this book turned into a movie in the near future.
The book is better than the movie
