After a short break, Nicholas Sparks made entry to my
bookshelf again. This was one book I had high hopes with. The expectations were
partially met. There were some moments in the book that were exceptionally
"Marvellous" (The depth of word would be known by reading the book...!
;))
I started the pages with little apprehension and for some
initial chapters; I was convinced that I am not going to fall for it. But as I
progressed, I realized that I could not put it down till it was finished.
A Walk To Remember is the story of Landon Carter who goes in
flashback to narrate his love story. Landon Carter and Jamie Sullivan are
perfectly portrayed as two teenagers completely different from each other. I
read somewhere that it’s a "typical story of a jerk guy who fell in love
to the swan".
My favorite part of the book was every time when Landon
reminded himself not to fall in love with Jamie. It was really cute on how he
defends himself again and again.
For a change, Nicholas Sparks did not make his characters
fall in love overnight on a delicious dinner made by male lead. The love-birds
took their own sweet time to do so.
I could personally relate to some instances in the book like
when Jamie finally said those three magical words to Landon and the way
Landon's friends kept teasing him for Jamie. We have seen the making of many
couples from this teasing like this - Friends keep teasing two good friends
until they start thinking if they are truly in love.
Then, there were times which actually brought tears to my
eyes and then made me smile. I imagined myself and my loved ones in the place
of different characters at different moments.
BY almost half of book, I was bit surprised that Mr. Sparks
did not allow me to write down some quotes from this one. But slowly, my
notepad was full of love.
My Favorite Lines From A Walk To Remember by Nicholas

I loved it. I found the book far better than the movie in terms of depicting emotions :)
