Rating: ★☆☆☆☆
Synopsis: A man with a faded, well-worn notebook open in his lap. A woman experiencing a morning ritual she doesn't understand. Until he begins to read to her. The Notebook is an achingly tender story about the enduring power of love, a story of miracles that will stay with you forever.
Review: Why is this story so popular? Is the movie that much better than the book?
This could have been rated two stars; since it's such a short book, it's not as big of a time-waster as many other books. However, I still thought it was a waste of time, thus the one star rating.
This is such a basic love story that's been done time and time again. I'm confused why this book in particular became so well known even to those who haven't read the book or watched the movie. If someone told me it was a fanfic written by a preteen, I would believe it. Perhaps I'm just not a fan of the chick-lit genre, but the descriptions are so tasteless. I just can’t take descriptions about Noah’s “loins” and Allie’s “erect nipples” seriously.
I don't regret reading it since it is such a popular story. But if you might want to reconsidering reading if you want to read an interesting story.
