GJSHS book reviews

“The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds. And that’s what you’ve give me. That’s what I’d hope to give to you forever.”  This is a story that many of you may have seen in the movies but it is nothing compared to the book. It is a story of true love and how no matter what happens in your life, your dreams will come true if you go after them. Noah Calhoun and Ally Hamilton are the two dreamers in this story who suffer many hard times and troubles in their life. They realize that not everything can be perfect like you want it to be. This is an amazing book, very poetic, and very romantic. For those of you who aren’t into gushy love stories, maybe this isnt the one for you. It is a book for more the adult like mind as there is some sexual references.  Even still, there are many wonderful parts to this story that lead up to a wonderful ending.  Of course, I cried as I always do when I read good books and I believe many of you will to.  There are some chapters in the book that make the story come alive that weren’t in the movie.  I do recommend reading the book first if you haven’t seen the movie yet.  It will give you a whole new insight of the story and how wonderful a writer Sparks is.  I do love to read but this story is exeptional! Absolutely the best!
