 Watch the movie instead. Jul 22, 2010
Sorry, I hate to say it, but I think the movie is way better than the book. The movie is one of my favorites, and the book just skims over the whole beginning of their relationship. I usually don't think the movie outshines the book, but in this case, I say save yourself some time and just watch the film.

 Sweet and Moving Jul 11, 2010
Noah Calhoun and Alli (Allison) Nelson come from two completely different worlds. Noah is the small-town heart throb just getting by day by day; Alli is the rich and innocent girl with big dreams who is only in town for the summers. The Notebook is set in the present: Noah reads to a patient in the same boarding house everyday. The story he reads is about a young couple who fell in love but were separated by social and economic forces. However, despite this separation they find themselves coming back to each other. The woman Noah reads to everyday is Alli herself, she just doesn't know it for Alli has Alzheimer.
While most of the book is set in the present, we are given glimpses into this past, into Noah's and Alli's past. However, there is not much given beyond these glimpses into their past. Despite this, the book is still pretty good. Like many, I did see the movie but I waited until after I read at least half of the book. While the movie is different from the book in a lot of ways, the book still is able to stand on its own. Frankly, this book is about love, and how love can surpass time and hardships. A recommended read for those looking for a very quick read.
Something to hope for Jul 07, 2010
I believe in love that can withstand all, and this book has so poetically captured what most dream of finding. It is so well written that even though I watched the movie long before I read this book, I was astounded. The characters are well developed and the plot is easy to follow. You find yourself immersed in a world of older, simpler times and wishing you were there. The description of the surrounding area where he has rebuilt the house is awesome and truly captures some of the North Carolina coast. I have firsthand views of it as well as the toil that having a loved one with Alzheimer's can do. The direction that this took can bring hope to anyone to make them not only want a love like this but be able to love this way too. At first I wasn't so certain about the manner of reading a book of someone who wrote a book of their own story down, but its delivery was flawless.
A quick read Jul 01, 2010
I'm another one surprised to find myself thinking, "the movie was better." The book was okay. It was a short enough book that I dont feel I wasted my time. The most emotional parts were of the old couple, just the sad lot they had in their old age, not even so much the connected love story. The end was cheesy.
 movie was better Jun 21, 2010
not impressed with the book. I thought the movie version did a better job with the story and the characters.
