Beginning in 1958 with a moody, rebellious Landon Carter, who gets stuck with performing in the Christmas play alongside the angelic Jamie Sullivan, who makes him promise not to fall in love with her, much to his amusement. Yet, when fate intervenes, there's not a lot he can do to stop himself.
My Rating: 5 out of 5
Nicholas Sparks is one of my favourite authors and this book managed to exceed my expectations. Whilst expecting a normal, run of the mill romance, I was instead left with a book that is full to the brim with sheer and pure emotion, highlighting the innocence of young love. The twist in the story’s plot is heart-breaking and tear-jerking, whilst the narrative has the power to knock you off your feet – even if you dislike emotional books, I sincerely and definitively suggest with all my heart that this is the one that you NEED to read – the clarity with which Sparks writes and the effect that it has on everything, even the way you look at life, is enough to make this one of the best books that I have read.
Seen through the eyes of Landon Carter, the teenage rebel, it is easily accessible to guys who have truly and utterly found their true love. After all, ‘A Walk to Remember’ makes you believe that, no matter your age, or your appearance, or your aspirations, true love exists, it is just a matter of finding that someone.
