A Walk To Remember

By Nicholas Sparks

A Walk To Remember, written by Nicholas Sparks is a truly wonderful

love story that will touch many reader’s heart just like it did to me.
After watching the film version of the book, I just had to pick up the
book and I could not put it down. This book has become one of my
favourite books. This romance story had really touched everyone’s
heart about the true nature of love.

This story is about a fifty- seven years old man looking back at his past
which he will never forget. This man is Landon Carter. He takes the
reader back to 1958 in the town of Beaufort, North Carolina when he
was just 17 years old. In high school he chooses drama class than
chemistry class thinking it will be easier for him. In the class there was
a girl called Jamie Sullivan, a minister’s daughter.

He and Jamie grew up together but were never really friends. Jamie
was a good girl. She prefers going to the orphanage to help the kids
and reading her Bible to socializing and going to the movies. Jamie
asked Landon to be the lead role of the play since no one wanted to do
it. Since the play was very important to Jamie and not wanting to hurt
her, he agreed. They both became closer to one another.

Being the president of his high school, Landon must find a date to the
dance to fulfill his duties. After desperately searching for a date, he
came to a conclusion that he had to ask Jamie Sullivan since there was
no one left. Jamie accepts his proposal to the dance. Landon slowly
realises that he has fallen in love with the most unlikely girl.

After many dates, Landon finally learns that Jamie had terminal
leukemia and has stopped responding to treatment. Landon wants to
fulfill Jamie’s wish list example by building a telescope so she can see a
comet. Through this process, Landon and Jamie learn more about the
nature of love. The book ends with Jamie's death, but only after the
couple are married in the same chapel as was Jamie's deceased
mother, the event that topped Jamie's wish list.

This book has taught me a lesson that with love and support you can
go through anything. I will recommend that everyone should pick up
this book and trust me that you won’t regret it. Now I will end this
phrase “Love is like the wind. You can't see it but you can feel it.”
