A walk to remember
A Book to Remember!
I chose this special book to be the first on our review section as I think it will appeal to the majority of our readers. A Walk to Remember is one of the most popular novels by the best selling, contemporary author Nicholas Sparks. The American writer was born in Omaha, Nebraska on December 31st, 1965. Among his most famous novels are; The Notebook (1996), Message in a Bottle (1998), The Guardian (2003) and True Believer (2005). All of his books were domestic and international best-sellers and were translated into more than 35 languages. In A Walk to remember, Sparks explores themes such as appearance and reality, faith and love through the awe-inspiring story of Landon and Jamie.
Landon Carter narrates his own story; the story of a senior student at Beaufort high school back in 1958. Being the richest kid in school, but not necessarily the most popular, Landon had a life style of his own and a group of similarly pampered, aimless friends. His long time colleague, Jamie Sullivan, the daughter of the town's Baptist Minister, was as far from cool as she could possibly be and she did not care about it. As Fate puts both of them together in the much anticipated school play as the two leading characters, gradually, and against his own expectations, Landon falls in love with Jamie, the last person he was likely to fall for.
I know what you would probably be telling yourselves by now; what is so special about such a story? It is just another romantic, boring cliché! But if you read the book, you will probably change your mind, as the novel speaks to some of our basic human feelings like faith, sympathy and love. The kind of relationship that builds between Landon and Jamie reveals her hidden character and makes us see beneath the surface. Everybody judges Jamie by her outward appearance but none tries to look deep into her, but Landon gets his chance. Nevertheless, the novel is not just a romance; it is also a tragedy that reaches
