Caroline A. (Roroceba) reviewed Renewal of Love on 4/7/2009 + 2 more book reviews

Helpful Score: 1

If you are married and the "new" has faded away, or lost some of its luster, this is a book that will renew your belief in the power of long term commitment and love!

If you have not read The Notebook read it first and then follow it up with The Wedding.

In previous reviews, the death of Noah has been mentioned. I cannot remember if Noah does die in the book version of The Notebook; he does seem to die in the film. In this book Noah is alive and is the father-in-law of the main character Wilson. Regardless, it seems to me that maybe the film version of the Notebook was changed by the screen writers, as frequently happens, because it makes no sense that Sparks would have a character die in one book only to show up in the sequel.

I think it is a testament to Sparks' ability as an author that so many of his books have gone on to become movies ... this fact definitely conveys the enduring quality of all of his stories, but read the books first as books are ALWAYS better than their movie counterparts.
