Everyone, well maybe every girl, has heard of The Notebook. It may be the most well-known romance in today's society. I finally decided to read the book then watch the movie, and I am glad I did it in that order. The book did not disappoint. Nicholas Sparks does an amazing job of portraying a real loving relationship with great sacrifice and devotion. Everyone should strive to find love like the love Allie and Noah have for each other. The movie, though it may be one of the most accurate adaptations of a book, it still has one major and some other minor differences.
I have found I like the novel better than the movie. One reason I prefer the book is the major difference between the book and movie, which I will not spoil. The other reason is that when you read a book, you picture everything in your mind. The way you imagine it will never be exactly the same as the movie. While the movie is amazing, it just did not compare to the way I imagined it all.
I would recommend both the book and the movie. I suggest reading the book for yourself though, even if you have seen the movie. It is a beautiful story and definitely worth a read.
