The Notebook
Girls love it. Boys tolerate it. The movie, The Notebook, starring Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling is way up there on most girls' 'favorite movie' lists. It's definitely one of my top 10. But although I love the movie I will admit that the book is even better!
That's right, I just finished reading Nicholas Sparks's novel The Notebook earlier today (for the second time). I read it first about 2 years ago on a vacation to Hawaii. I'm a pretty slow reader, but I finished it in 2 days (let's just say I was anti-social for those 48 hours). But anyway, Saturday I made a trip over to Books-a-Million to pick up a copy of the Great Gatsby for English, and got a little side-tracked. I ran across the Notebook and remembered how much I adored it, so I began reading. Forty-five minutes later, I was walking to my car with 2 books instead of one, and then proceeded to sit in my car for another 20 minutes to finish the chapter I was on. I know I'm showing my dorky side, but no joke....the book is THAT good. Even if you've seen the movie already, the book is WAY better. It's a definite 'must-read' (at least for girls). Ha!
