The Notebook: Part 2

     I would very much recommend, The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks. It is one of the best love story novels I have ever read. It tells about two people, Noah and Allie who are destined to be together. They met each other when they were only teenagers and fell in love then. They’d spend all their time together but one day unexpectedly Allie left him. Noah never once forgot about Allie. When he dated people he would be thinking about her instead. He worked physically hard, repairing and building his dream house, just to get his mind off her. Allie comes back to him but she is engaged but she felt like she had to see Noah one last time. Their time together brings back old unforgotten emotions and they fall back in love with each other. They stay together for days and that’s when Lon, Allie’s fiancé get suspicious and finds out where she is. He is about to go over to Noah’s to get her back. That’s when Allie then has to leave again and this time for good if she chooses to marry Lon. I liked all the obstacles that Allie and Noah go through because they fight past it all. That shows how strong they are and they will do anything for one another. Allie does come back for Noah and their lives then begin together.
The book cuts too when they are old and have to live in a care taking home. Allie develops a heartbreaking disease that makes her forgot the people she loves. Through all the hurtful things Allie says to Noah because of the disease he never leaves her. He even miraculously helps Allie to remember who they he is simultaneously. Those little miracles help him push forward to keep helping Allie too. It shows how passionate they are for each other and nothing could ever come between them. One thing I wish the author would have told more about is why Allie would leave Noah after they were so much in love. Her feelings that would make her pack her bags and just leave him. I really enjoyed this book enjoyed this book a lot and found it to be one of my favorites.

  1. Mak- this is a well written summary, but a summary isn't one of your choices to comment on. Be aware of this for next quarter.
