The last person Landon thought he would fall for was Jamie Sullivan, daughter of the town's Baptist minister. A quiet girl, Jamie seemed content living in a world apart from the other teens.

Media Reviews
Every now and then you stumble across an extraordinary book that at first appears like countless others, but then you read it and are amazed at the treasure hidden within. A Walk to Remember is such a book * NEW YORK SUNDAY POST *
In the prologue to his latest novel, Nicholas Sparks makes the rather presumptuous pledge first you will smile, and then you will cry, but sure enough, he delivers the goods. With his calculated ability to throw your heart around like a yo-yo (try out * In 1958 Landon Carter is a shallow but well-meaning teenager who spends most of his time hanging out with his friends and trying hard to ignore the impending responsibilities of adulthood. Then Landon gets roped into acting the lead in the Christmas play *
Like John Irving's A Prayer for Owen Meany, Sparks maintains a delicate and rarely seen balance of humor and sentiment. While the plot may not be the most original, this boy-makes-good tearjerker will certainly reel in the fans. Look for a movie starring beautiful people or, better yet, snuggle under the covers with your tissues nearby and let your inner sap run wild. * Nancy R.E. O'Brien, AMAZON.COM *
Sparks achieves the unlikely feat of making the predictable enjoyable, especially the faithful recording of period detail * GOOD BOOK GUIDE *
