The Notebook Book Review By Nicholas Sparks - 1426 Words

The Notebook Book Review Nicholas Sparks specializes in writing romance books that appeal to realistic readers. He takes his writings one step further by adding the elements of situations that occur in everyday life. In the very beginning of the book he dedicates the story to Cathy, who is identified as his â€Å"friend and wife.†(Sparks 1).

The other way he tells the story is by reflecting upon the past, describing how Allie and Noah met one summer, fell in love, were separated, but somehow managed to find each other again. â€Å"Our souls are connected . . . I know I have spent everylife before this one searching for you . . .We will find each other again, and maybe the stars willShow MoreRelatedNicholas Sparks: His Life, Literature, and Impact on Todays Society1151 Words   |  5 Pagesthis has always been enough.† That is a quote from The Notebook, a famous book written by Nicholas Sparks in 1996.
