a walk to remember

A few days ago, I came across the trailer of 'a walk to remember'. It is a 2002 romance film starring Mandy Moore and Shane West. This story is based on the book with the same title by Nicholas Sparks. Since the trailer looked interesting, i decided to read the book. Once i started, I couldnt put it down. It is the most touching story I've ever read. I was crying n crying like I never had b4 (over a book dat is). I just thankful no one saw me as I read it while everyone else was asleep (yes, it was @ night if u have 2 ask, i'm not goin 2 giv up this habit soon) Anyway, the inspiration for A Walk to Remember was Nicholas Sparks' sister, Danielle Sparks Lewis, who died of cancer in 2000. In a speech he gave after her death in Berlin, the author admits that "In many ways, Jamie Sullivan was my younger sister". The plot was inspired by her life; Danielle met a man who wanted to marry her, "even when he knew she was sick, even when he knew that she might not make it". Both the book and movie are dedicated to Danielle Sparks Lewis.

So if you are looking for a good read, this will be a good book. Just read it with a box of tissue @ your side & in the privacy of your room
