This is probably my third time reading this book, but I could read it a million more times and never get bored!
Everyone knows the movie, "A Walk to Remember" starring Mandy Moore, but did they know that the film was made from a book?
This story is written in the form of a very long memory, by Landon Carter, reminiscing about his final year at Beaufort High. He is popular, with a bad boy reputation, wearing leather jackets and mainly thinking "girls, girls, girls....". It is when he is forced to join the annual Christmas play (as a punishment) that his life changes completely. Landon is given the lead role, and needs to work with Jamie Sullivan, the "angel" of the play and also the Reverend's daughter.
Landon only thinks of Jamie as the goodie-goodie girl, always wearing cardigans and long skirts, with her hair tied up in a bun and no makeup in sight. She also carries a bible around, all the time. They have known each other since elementary school, but have never talked, due to obvious reasons. She has the purest of hearts and treats Landon ever so kindly, while he tries to ignore her as much as possible.
As the story progresses, Landon eases up and gets to know Jamie at a deeper level, eventually becoming friends, and later, falling in love.
Sadly, there is a tear jerking twist in the middle of the book, as Jamie reveals a shocking secret about herself, to Landon.
This book is excellent. It's exciting, touching, heartfelt, sincere, and GREAT! Atleast four people have asked to borrow my book, including my mom....
You will regret not reading this amazing book!
