The unforgettable, heartbreaking love story from a New York Times bestselling author about a young socialite and the boy who once stole her heart—now an iconic motion picture starring Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams.

At thirty-one, Noah Calhoun, back in coastal North Carolina after World War II, is haunted by images of the girl he lost more than a decade earlier. At twenty-nine, socialite Allie Nelson is about to marry a wealthy lawyer, but she cannot stop thinking about Noah. Thus begins the story of a love so enduring and deep it can turn tragedy into triumph, and may even have the power to create a miracle...

Every so often a love story so captures our hearts that it becomes more than a story—it becomes an experience to remember forever. The Notebook is such a book. It is a celebration of how passion can be ageless and timeless, a tale that moves us to laughter and tears and makes us believe in true love all over again...©1996 Nicholas Sparks; (P)2004 Time Warner Audiobooks 20th Century Family Life Genre Fiction Small Town & Rural Heartfelt Historical Fiction Romance Historical Fiction Classics

Sparks creates a wonderful image of an old man near the end of his days, recollecting his past love.

Chic book, but a good read (grunt, scratch)

I was very shocked that the story was worse than the movie. I love the movie so much.. this was disappointing. I don't like the music throughout.. no need and just silly. I also don't like... "this i know"... he says that often in this book and the longest ride. that was a great story but the wording was not how a normal person would speak

I'm glad the movie was better

I’m sorry, I know this is the rare, but the movie was far better than the book. I’m not sure why Sparks is so highly rated as a writer when much of his prose sounded flat and lifeless to me. A disappointment.

This book is a great book that inspired one of my favorite movies. However, for the first time I was somewhat disappointed in the book rather then the movie.
