The Notebook
Experience the unforgettable, heartbreaking love story set in post-World War II North Carolina about a young socialite and the boy who once stole her heart -- one of PBS's "Great American Reads". 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 . . . 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 the boy who long ago stole her heart. 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 . . .

Although I had watched the movie prior to reading the book, this book still did a good job at really connecting with a readers emotions and feeling the love as this couple grew older. I only wished that the book had touched more on the beginning of their life together as it seemed that most of the book only started around the time Ali had came back to see Noah after many years apart and in the movie, that was something that occurred near the end, so I felt as if I missed half the book. Even though it was still something that was read in the beginning, it just seemed a bit rushed. I thought I was going to read the entire summary of the movie within the first chapter, but it started to expand more during those last moments in the movie.
