Notebook Review!

Authors note: This piece of writing will include what I thought of the book and why I thought it. Also, note that this might give away parts in the book.
Do you believe in true love? Well in the book The Notebook Ali and Noah fall in love when they were very young. They thought it was meant to be. But once Ali’s mother found out that she was seeing a boy that wasn’t fitted in their life style she made her stop seeing him. He sent her letters everyday but Ali’s mother never let her read them. Would this be terrible not to talk to the person that you truly love?
Through out the book many conflicts happen between Ali and Noah. Some of the major ones that happened were that the police went looking for them when they went together into an old house, Ali moving away and getting engaged to another man, and Ali and Noah dying together.
When Ali moved away and didn’t get to read the letters that Noah has sent her she thought that he didn’t love her anymore. If I were her I would think the same thing but then again she didn’t know that her mother was taking the letters from her before she could read them. I don’t think this is right because she should have cared what her daughter wanted, which was to continue to fall in love with Noah. But her mother didn’t like him and thought that she shouldn’t be around someone like him. After Ali found out what her mother had done she realized how strong her feelings were for Noah, but it was too late because she was getting ready to get married. Ali wanted to tell Noah and drove to his house. She didn’t know where he lived until she saw a picture of him in the newspaper, saying that he had fixed up the old house just like he said he always would. I know for a fact that I would never have the guts to tell a guy that I care about that I was going to be getting married. I would feel terrible! What if he still had feelings for me or thought I was dead because we lost touch with each other?
In the end of the book Ali and Noah ended up getting married to each other. They fell in love yet once again. Ali had written a book to Noah about their journey together, and gave it to Noah as a present. Over the years Ali hadn’t aged well and couldn’t remember anything or anyone. Even the people she loved, like Noah. This is very sad because of everything that they went through together and she couldn’t remember a thing. But Noah didn’t give up on her. He would go and read the book to her that she wrote. One day when Noah went and read the book to her she started to remember, and remembered Noah. He was the happiest person ever, but then her memory kicked out of whack and she couldn’t remember anything again. Noah felt terrible and that night went into bed with her and slept with her.
That very night both Ali and Noah died together. I guess every love story has to end some way or another. But the way they had it would be the way I would. Expect the fact that the person I loved wouldn’t remember me. But, you always have the memories that you will have forever!
