The Notebook
7 journalers for this copy...
*The cover art is different. It's the movie tie-in edition with Noah and Allie kissing in the rain. And I have re-enforced the cover with contact paper to ensure that it stays somewhat damage proof.*

WILD RELEASE NOTES:
Controlled Release - Going to RainDrop162004 who has nicely agreed to trade with me for her copy of "Sense & Sensibility". I hope the book has a happy journey!
I'm so tempted to read it first, so I'll start it and try to finish it tonight. It shouldn't take too long. Then I'm going to give it to Jess in a bookring. :D
At twenty-nine, socialite Allie Nelson is about to marry a wealthy lawyer, but she can not stop thinking about the boy who long ago stole her heart.
Thus begins the story of love so enduring and deep it can turn tragedy into triumph, and may even have the power to create a miracle.
I loved this book. I just finished it about ten minutes ago and could not wait to journal it. It was so sweet it had me crying at end because I was so happy everything worked out okay! And the best part is that I reently accepted "The Wedding" by Nicholas Sparks of bookrelay.com, so now I get to read the sequel! I hope one day I have a love as sweet as this one. :)

Sent to next participant :) Enjoy the book!

will read asap
sorry to journal so late, i have finished reading the book, things been hectic here.
i did enjoy the book but was slightly dissappointed it didn't quite have the edge as it did with other of his books. i also found that i didn't believe the love between noah and allie i thought it was lust. the sexual emotion between them i didn't like i thought sparks went maybe a bit pornographic with it. oh well still glad i read
FUN STUFF
mmm ok i chose to be noah i think the scene where allie's mother arrives at noahs was interesting, i wouldn't of let allie drive away i would have put up more of a fight. it just lacked that extra emotion.
thanks so much raindrop for introducing me to the book, will pm the next person on the list
I've already started it (I'm on page 22) and I already like the writing style and start to "know" the two main characters.
I just hope that I'll never have to experience this horrible disease when I'm old - or happen to love someone with this disease...
Well, I was warned that it would make me cry - and actually I sobbed a bit when she's leaving him with the car after the arrival of her mum, and at the end... but it was not my "wettest" Nicholas Sparks - novel so far (I cried a lot more during "Message in a bottle" of "A walk to remember", the only two other novels I knew so far).
They were mean to print the first chapter of "The Wedding" at the back of this one - so now I'm sure that I must read it one day, too.
Thanks, RainDrop162004, for this bookring (I'll mail it to you as soon as you PM me your address) - and thanks everyone for sending it on!
