The Notebook
Tuesday, November 18, 2008 ( 2:20 PM )
Just finished reading The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks. I would say it was touching, enticing and fluent.
The story talks about a moving love story between Allie and Noah, who's love life and marriage had taken its toll on them. Yet despite the many hurdles, Noah's love for his wife never changed.
Well, it is undoubted that many authors are fluent in writing, but the point is that Nicholas Sparks writes in such a magical way that you just dont know when to stop, even after a chapter. Perhaps, he was able to do this, because unlike J.K. Rowling, he writes in rather short sentences. For eg: Knock again.
As compare to the movie, the movie was of course better. I had some sort of expected the book to be better, but the scriptwriters had most likely made changes for the better. The changes were minute, though. Alzheimer's took the story, once again. Alzheimer is an awful and life-threatening disease (in one way or another), it simply robs memories from one person. It is easy for any writer to come up with a moving story about Alzheimer, and how the husband/wife suffered by being forgotten, by their spouse. However, Sparks had taken a twist in such disease, and the way he writes it, he makes you remember it.
He reminds us how sad life can be. And how wonderful and beautiful it can be, as well.
... day and night are linked in a way that few things are; there cannot be one without the other, yet they cannot exist at the same time. How would it feel, I remember wondering, to be always together, yet forever apart?
... I know the answer now. I know what it's like to be day and night now; always together, forever apart...
