A Walk to Remember by Nicholas Sparks MAG

November 17, 2008
By Anonymous

Set in Beaufort, North Carolina, in the 1950s, A Walk to Remember tells the story of 17-year-old Landon Carter, who learns to live life differently after meeting Jamie Sullivan. Initially, Landon is the kind of guy who cares too much about what people think of him. But when Jamie comes into the picture, he only cares about being with her.

Things are looking up for Landon, until Jamie drops a bomb that changes their lives forever.

In A Walk to Remember, the characters take time to get to know each other and end up falling in love. Like other novelists of realistic fiction, Nicholas Sparks emotionally engages the reader. A Walk to Remember ­reminded me of all of Lurlene McDaniel’s novels, because both authors use themes of love and death.

A Walk to Remember is a book that you will not want to put down until you’ve reached the last page, because Sparks draws the reader in with emotions, descriptions, love, and death. For those who enjoy novels that touch your heart and make you think about real life, A Walk to Remember is perfect for you.

The movie and book are both wonderful, but completly difrent entities. Read the book, it's amazing, but don't expect it to align with the movie.

I have both seen the book and read the movie:

for some reason, I like the movie a lot better. Usually I like the book better, but not in this case. The book was still good, though. Worth reading.

The book was way different from the movie and had more detail so if you only saw the movie I suggest you read the book because it will fill in some important missing pieces of the puzzle.

ya i did read this novel twice actually and i watched the movie. A Walk to Remember is that kind of stories which make you cry while reading. It is touching, and so real. and ya i find your article very useful and i will use it as a reference to my research paper about : Themes in A Walk to Remember. i will concentrate on the theme of how we all have the capacitiy to change each other. Thanx
