    Who else wishes that 'A Walk to Remember' had the popularity that 'The Notebook' has? But don't get me wrong, I like 'The Notebook' . . . I just happen to LOVE 'A Walk to Remember'.

      I'm right now reading 'A walk to Remember' and loving it. I first watched 'The Notebook' and then 'A walk to remember' and then came to know about books. So, after this I'll read 'The Notebook.'

      Although the movies can be outstanding, I prefer reading the books. A Walk to Remember is available at two local libraries. After 26 years, this books continues to be circulated. Obviously, I am not alone. Recently read the memoir "Three Weeks With My Brother". The brothers talk about growing up together and unfortunate lose of their mother, father and 33 year old sister. The memoir indicates where his inspiration came from some of his family members.

      28? Of course you're not too old.You've got plenty of time. Stan Lee(the co-creator of Spider-Man,Iron Man,The Hulk,Doctor Strange,the Marvel version of Thor and many other legendary Marvel Comic book Super Heroes)didn't become successful and have his breakthrough in comic books until he was in his late thirties and into his forties.
      Christopher Waltz and Morgan Freeman didn't have their breakthrough in Hollywood until they were in their early fifties. Colonel Harland Sanders(the founder of Kentucky Fried Chicken)didn't become a major success until he was in his sixties.It's never too late unless you think it is! Being a late-bloomer to jumping off can actually be a good thing.
      I'm almost 40 and I've got a lot of books( and comics)that I plan to write in my forties.

    See Me is one of my most favorite along with The Guardian and Safe Haven. I love his more suspenseful, twisty, mysterious love stories. But I really just appreciate his way of writing and writing love stories from a male perspective, even when he writes from a female character's point of view. I also appreciate his telling from all characters point of view and back stories, even the "bad guy".

    I'm not a soldier just a security officer
    I've felt the struggle of long distance love because my job has to leave the village where I live
    I've also felt that I almost lost the woman I love, even though in the hope that we'd finally be together.
    Jhon, there is a person who is stronger than me who feels that he has lost his love even though he can finally meet the woman he loves after years of not seeing each other.
    so I hope
    mr.nicolas spark understands the questions that arise
    Remember that God also has holy feelings and God will not give trials that humans cannot face. If you have a sincere intention, love, everything can be faced
    so don't because the story hangs for popularity
    because true love is not a rating

    Merry Christmas and hapy new year 2022
    greetings healthy.
    I am Cornel from Indonesia I am happy with your work especially dear Jhon
    Even though it's been 10 years, maybe more.
    but there is something that makes me very confused with the ending which is very simple so that it makes a lot of questions.
    Not meant to be insulting because the story is really the struggle of true love that is timeless.
    I hope
    You want to make a sequel that has a really happy ending?
    taken from the same story but more from the side of the savanna struggle
    to maintain his love or
    help tim because of tim's disease
    tim should be considered a father
    instead of replacing tim's wife who ran away and tim has a child suffering from autism, he must be treated
    and make the wrong choice of savanna
    and the last moment of struggle waiting for the trust of love
    savanna meets john who states that savanna has been struggling to wait for jhon to return to his side with the words "don't leave me again"
    which can be used as a title.
    and this gives me and many people great satisfaction.
    and thank you if you read happiness wishes

      I personally think that Nicholas Spark is a racist and I often say that I believe him to be a bigot.And I'm even writing a comic book where a character will call him a racist and make fun of his movies only ever having good-looking white people kissing.
      I don't accuse Sparks of racism because of his vision of the world in his books because authors and filmmakers have every right to go out and make their own vision-which is what David Lynch,Woody Allen and the late John Hughes did but I call him a bigot because of other things.
