Title: Poorly written sap
Review: Sentiment is a good thing, and even when a story gets a little sappy, a good writer can make it into a thing of beauty. THE NOTEBOOK, unfortunately, was not blessed with a particularly good writer. The plot is very thin, the "suspense" is not suspenceful, and the writing itself...ouch. Sparks has quite a following, but his work isn't even good enough to be considered escape reading; it's too full of distracting bad grammar, etc, etc. If you must read it, get this one from the library.
