The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks

      The Notebook is an outstanding book, that makes you not want to put it down. It is a tearjerker. Allie Nelson and Noah Calhoun are the main characters, they fall in love the summer before Allie has to leave town. Allie is a smart, upperclass girl, who is 15 while Noah doesn't have much money and is 17. Allie leaves after the summer and Noah writes her letters, but they don't speak until 14 years later. When they end up seeing eachother, Allie is engaged to Lon, a wealthy, handsome lawyer. Her and Noah realize they are still in love and Allie is put in the situation to chose the love of her life, Noah, or her fiance, Lon, who her parents love.    
        I liked the book, it has sad parts but in the end it leaves you happy. I like that the man telling the story is really Noah trying to get Allie to remember the past because she has Alzhimers and is in a nuhsing home. She ends up remembering him. It makes you think and it really kept me reading it. I really liked the book and i reccomend it to anyone who loves a love story.
