This book was so good, so GRAND, that it deserves to be reviewed properly.I cried every time i read it. so before you read it, buy a good big box of tissue papers and ice-cream. (Caution: Reading this book may cause puffy red eyes.) 
 The magic of Nicholas Sparks works on every Romance-Lovers, including me.He is a Maestro for writing heart wrenching stories, with a hotpot of different emotions:fear, humor,love and...pain. He weaves such a realistic and all the same epic love stories with excruciating climax written in uncluttered prose with utter simplicity. i am in love with his writing and his books! 
 This story, one of the best (better than the Notebook), describes the life, the love of Landon Carter in flashback story.This teen rebels's life turns upside-down as he unknowingly and unconditionally falls in love with his rival's daughter, the goody-two-shoes of school:Jamie Sullivan. The book describes her with such beauty, she really came to life, it made me love Landon for loving a good-girl like Jamie. But as their love grows, the couple is met with Fate himself, the climax really made my mouth hang open, and in that time it seemed somehow I have forgotten to close my mouth. It is really an Epic Romance, where love holds a new meaning. 
 it was a book that changed my entire perspective over life, it had such drastic affects on me that even for some time I became like a philosopher who knows All about Life, Love And Death. 
 So whenever, i read it again, this book always succeeds in mystifying and mesmerizing. 
 It is a must read for and Bibliophile, where thoughts turn into deeds and the journey of life more exiciting, extraordinary and as always unexpected. It is not an Adventure book, but you, like me, will be absorbed in a quest of finding your true self in this big, big world. I don't know why but this book always reminds me of a song: "Love comes in circles and love takes its own time, bending and breaking, not taking a straight line." 
 Hasta-la-vista,
