Summary: It is a wonderful book, you will like it, I promise
Review: The story took place in the Beaufort, North Carolina. One of the main characters: Landon Carter, who asked Jamie, another main character, to homecoming dance in their school.Many people in the school didn't like Jamie, they considered that she was a strange girl, always carrying her Bible, never wore fashionalbe clothes, always said:" God arrange this, God arrange that." But Landon can't help falling love with Jamie because he had found out that Jamie was such a sweet, kind girl. She took care of his widowed father, who is the minister in the church of the town, she often went to visit the orphanes in the orphange in the town, she spent most of her time to help them and bring them happiness. This influenced Landon and his life started to change as well.
But maybe the density has played a joke on Landon, when he has totally fallen in love with Jamie, Jamie finally told Landon about her secret: she had a horrible sick and doctor can do nothing about it, she was dying. This really shocked Landon and he can't believe it.
But Landon had to accept the reality, the disease has affected Jamie step by step, day by day. Landon remembered that when one day they were talking about the future, Jamie said that her dream was that one day she could get married by a boy who loves her truely. Landon determined to release her dream and ask Jamie whether she would marry him or not. Jamie said YES, than Landon ran to Jamie's father, who was the minister in the church and asked him to arrange the marriage for them.
On the marriage day, though Jamie was very weak, she insisted to walk by herself on the marriage to approaching Landon, her husband. It took her almost 10 minutes to do it. But this is A WALK TO REMEMBER...
At the end of the book, Landon Carter, who has already been an old man, looked back the life when he was in love with Jamie, he believed, that sometimes miracle could really happen.
Though this book didn't really mention that whethter Jamie died or not, but I can detect that Jamie wasn't dead by that horrible disease because Landon mentioned miracle, only a miracle could save Jamie, and Jamie shouldn't die because we all love her!

Period: Pr.3

The book I read is called A Walk to Remember. This book is mainly about a guy named Landon who fell in love with an unpopular girl named Jamie. But when Landon found out that Jamie had cancer, he did anything to get help. When he found out that she was going to die. He asked her to marry him. Six months after their marriage, Jamie had died of Leukemia.

What I liked about this book was that the time period took place in the 1950's. That was different from the other entire book I have read. I also loved the story. It's also different than all the other books.

What I disliked about the book was that it was too long and it took along time for me to finish. Although it was a great book. I don't really have to say anything bad about this book because I thing it's a great book.

My favorite part in this book is when Landon went to go look for help for Jamie. When he went to go find a cure. I thought that part of the book was really sweet and tragic. I also like the part where they told the problem. I thought that was really sad.

Summary: A Walk to Remember
Review: I liked this book I haven't seen the movie so I thought when I read it, it all just cam to my head. like as if I were watching the movie. My favorite part was when he told the story of the Christmas Angel and how the old man didn't like ghost so he made it of an angel. I liked how the little girl on Christmas morning got the music box with an angel on it. As soon as I got home i told my parents that story and they told my little siter and now we all like it.

Other people I know just watch a movie insted of read the book, like Holes I watched the movie and I fell in lov ewith it then i read the book and i liked that even more. In the book it tells you alot more so i like that beter then the movies but sittl to see how much beter the book is from the movie you may want to watch it. But A Walk to Remember is clarly must read book.

Period 1

In Beaufort, North Carolina, Landon Carter never thought he would fall in love with Jamie Sullivan. Jamie was the daughter of the town's Baptist minister. She was always happy, looked on the positive side. Jamie was one of the most unpopular girls in school. She was always talking about "god's plan". The church always had a play on Christmas, this year, Jamie was playing the angel in "The Christmas Angel." Hegbert, the Baptist minister, wrote "The Christmas Angel", which was almost based on his life. The relationship between Jamie and Landon all started when Landon asked Jamie to the school dance because he didn't have a date. He never thought that he would ever like a girl like Jamie. Later, he found out a secret about Jamie. Jamie was sick, not the normal flu or the cold. She was really sick and only had about a year to live. Jamie had leukemia. Each day she was growing weaker and weaker, and also losing weight. Jamie's goal was to get married. She wanted her father to walk her down the aisle and she wanted everyone she knew to be there. She wanted the church to be bursting with people. A few weeks before her death, she married Landon Carter. All the things that she wanted to happen happened. Her father walked her down the aisle, everyone she knew went to watch the ceremony, and the church was bursting with people.

I really liked this book because it was very touching. Jamie always looked at the bright side and never the dark. Her comments were always positive. When I read this book, I really wanted to be like Jamie, I really liked her character, and her personality. Jamie was a very devoted to God. Another thing I would like to be. Like I said before, she's always talking about God's plan and she's always praying for someone. "I'll pray for you."

I disliked this book because it was sad. Jamie dies in the end, but she fulfilled her dream. She got married with Landon Carter. I really wished that at that time doctors had a cure for leukemia. Then Jamie would have lived and been with Landon. Jamie wasn't just an angel in the play that saves Tom Thornton; Jaime saved everyone with her faith and beliefs. Landon said this 40 years later, "I now believe that miracles can happen."

My favorite part of the book was the wedding. Jamie didn't have much energy to walk down the aisle but she still did. The wedding brought people closer to each other. Especially, Landon and Hegbert. They learned to respect each other. Jamie has taught everyone a lot. People can now learn from her.

Summary: Laughter and Tears
Review: Sparks somehow manages to pull off what most authours could probably never even contemplate: he fufils his promise. First I laughed, then I cried. The story at first seems incredibly cliché, yet another book about true love between two completely opposite high school students. Yet somehow this book manages not to fall into the well worn rut that most of these have created with their passage. The story remains fresh and new, with a heart-breaking twist just as you near the end, and hope for the standard happy ending we have become so accustomed to. It's not a difficult read, nothing taxing enough to take more an a few hours, yet it carries itself beautifully and is well worth the minimal amount of time it requires.
