Title: Sparks' "Best"
Review: In the summer of '32, Noah and Allie meet and quickly fall head-over-heels in love. But somehow, at the end of the summer, the two are separated and lose contact. After 14 years they meet again. Will their love overcome the barriers between the two. You betcha. And it's all rather touching, even overwrought at times. So far nothing new, and, indeed, from my perspective nothing worthwhile.The last portion of the book, however, fast-forwards to the modern day. Our protaganists have now aged and one is in the grips of Alzheimer's. The love story continues. This portion of the book too is sacharine. It is not nearly so hackneyed, though.Even though, in my opinion, this book is not worth reading, it is by far Sparks' best and the only of his novels that displays any inventiveness.
