In the prologue to his latest novel, Nicholas Sparks makes the rather presumptuous pledge "first you will smile, and then you will cry," but sure enough, he delivers the goods. With his calculated ability to throw your heart around like a yo-yo (try out his earlier Message in the Bottle or The Notebook if you really want to stick it to yourself), Sparks pulls us back to the perfect innocence of a first love.
In 1958 Landon Carter is a shallow but well-meaning teenager who spends most of his time hanging out with his friends and trying hard to ignore the impending responsibilities of adulthood. Then Landon gets roped into acting the lead in the Christmas play opposite the most renowned goody two-shoes in town: Jamie Sullivan. Against his best intentions and the taunts of his buddies, Landon finds himself falling for Jamie and learning some central lessons in life.
Like John Irving's A Prayer for Owen Meany, Sparks maintains a delicate and rarely seen balance of humor and sentiment. While the plot may not be the most original, this boy-makes-good tearjerker will certainly reel in the fans. Look for a movie starring beautiful people or, better yet, snuggle under the covers with your tissues nearby and let your inner sap run wild. --Nancy R.E. O'Brien

Download Description
There was a time when the world was sweeter . . . when the women in Beaufort, North Carolina, wore dresses, and the men donned hats. . . when something happened to a seventeen year-old boy that would change his life forever.
Every April, when the wind blows in from the sea and mingles with the scent of lilacs, Landon Carter remembers his last year at Beaufort High.
It was 1958, and Landon had already dated a girl or two. He even swore that he had once been in love. Certainly the last person in town he thought he'd fall for was Jamie Sullivan, the daughter of the town's Baptist minister.
A quiet girl who always carried a Bible with her schoolbooks, Jamie seemed content living in a world apart from the other teens. She took care of her widowed father, rescued hurt animals, and helped out at the local orphanage. No boy had ever asked her out.
Landon would never have dreamed of it. Then a twist of fate made Jamie his partner for the homecoming dance, and Landon Carter's life would never be the same. Being with Jamie would show him the depths of the human heart and lead him to a decision so stunning it would send him irrevocably on the road to manhood . . .
No other author today touches our emotions more deeply than Nicholas Sparks. Illuminating both the strength and the gossamer fragility of our deepest emotions, his two New York Times bestsellers, The Notebook and Message in a Bottle, have established him as the leading author of today's most cherished love stories. Now, in A WALK TO REMEMBER, he tells a truly unforgettable story, one that glimmers with all of his magic, holding us spell-bound -- and reminding us that in life each of us may find one great love, the kind that changes everything . . .

Reba P. written review on "A walk to remember".......2007-09-27
"It is amazing how wrong you can be about somebody from first impressions, you've never spoken to them, don't care about their feelings, and never even think of their future, even if one day you will be a big part of it. You think you can judge someone about how they dress, or how they talk, or even how they walk, sometimes you can be correct but other times your thoughts will dramatically change once you get to know each other. It can be a good or bad change, you never know until you try."
In this book "A walk to remember" written by Nicholas Sparks is a Beautiful and Heart Wrenching novel, which will take you through an unforgettable twist in heart, when a young boy and girl grew up in completely different social groups and brought together just from a small Interaction. In 1958, Landon Carter is a senior who lives in Morehead City, North Carolina. His father is a congress man and the two of them are basically strangers to each other. He lives and was raised by his mother since his father is on the road quite often. His father basically makes him run for student-body president because he knows it will be better for his college applications, so he runs for it, and he wins. One of the mandatory assignments was to attend the school dance, and since him and his girlfriend are no longer together, he needs a date, and fast. So he takes out his year book and looks for someone he knows will be available and decides on Jamie Sullivan, otherwise known as a junior and the minister's daughter.
Jamie Sullivan is a saint, she carries a bible every where she goes and wears the same sweater since 5th grade, wears long skirts, and her hair is always in a ponytail. She believes "everything happens for a reason" and strongly believes in faith and that everyone has a good side. She is definitely not the popular one in school, and who is obviously not the one Landon and His friends are Interested in. After the dance he has no clue to ever hang out with Jamie again.
As president he also has to star in the spring play, which Jamie Sullivan's dad wrote about how he found love after his wife died. Landon is picked the lead role and Jamie is an Angel he falls in love with in the play.
From sitting together and talking on Jamie's porch, to driving her home every day, he eventually gets to know her and becomes a better person and even starts to get a high feeling for her. Hanging out with her in rehearsals for the play and her helping him with his lines he can't but help but actually performing in the play with her. On the opening night, when she comes out , he finally see's her true beauty, her hair's down to her shoulders, make-up, and a amazing smile across her face. As she sings to him in the performance with a beautiful voice he realizes that he is in love with her and she feels the same way.
Along the end the amazing love story comes to a dramatic twist and is an automatic tear jerker. While he plans a future with her, she is a hiding a secret so devastating it will change him forever. Pain and deep tears lie ahead for the couple and the readers. This story is as I said before, unforgettable and will never leave your mind as the tears drip from your face.
A good novel for all .......2007-09-26
Although I usually tend to go for the romance novels, this one had so much more packed in the pages. Nicolas Sparks tells a story that many high schoolers can relate to. I remember reading this as a young freshman and thinking about how he seemed to know exactly what a kid my age would be going through.
The story centers on a troubled teen named Landon Carter who is having difficulties with the fact that his dad walked out on his mom and him and figuring out which group he "belonged" to at his high school. He thought he had everything figured out until he was forced to join the drama club after an unfortunate turn of events.
That's where his world began unraveling. Having difficulties memorizing his lines, he has to turn to the one person he and his friends teased the most, Jamie Sullivan. Though he didn't find out for a while, her life was not all roses like the front she put on.
This book is a good read for all, but I think that middle and high school aged students can get a lot out of it. It deals with the issues that most students struggle with: friends, relationships, family, and essentially who they are and what their purpose in life is.
"A WALK TO FORGET".......2007-08-28
I was VERY disappointed in reading this book. It meandered for the entire 224 pages. Very simplistic and a third-grader could have written a better book.
I can't believe all of the positive reviews. People must really be hard up for a love story. This is sophomoric at best. When the name of the author is larger than the name of the title---WATCH OUT!!
It was a waste of my time. He could have summed the entire book up in one paragraph. What a pity!! Time is so valuable and I had to waste it on this ersatz piece of "literature".
"Miracle"??.......2007-08-08
I appreciated this book more than I thought I would, given that the writing style sometimes seemed overly precious, and the plot predictable and cliched. Still, with all that, there is a basic goodness in the main characters, including Hegbert, that shines through even this treatment. That's what prompted me to finish the book. It brings us back to a supposedly simpler time, and is good, escapist fiction, which isn't necessarily bad.
On another point, I am amazed by number of reviewers here who assume as Gospel truth--no pun intended--that Jamie dies in the end. Clearly, that's what happened in the movie. However, Sparks's treatment of that possibility at the end in the book struck me as great deal more ambiguous.
Landon never removed his ring. How did he put it? He "never felt the need to." He *knows*, with the insight of 40 intervening years, that he would have married Jamie even if she weren't dying. And, in the end, he knows "one thing that we don't know": that miracles do, indeed, happen.
Now maybe the miracle really is that Jamie changed his heart, brought two families together, and united an entire town. On the other hand, maybe the word means exactly what both Landon and Jamie always meant when they prayed for a "miracle": Jamie recovered. At least, the book never once states that she died.
As a final point, I've got to say that, if Landon indeed spent the next 40 years single and without children as a result of his wife of two weeks or so passing away when he was 17, then I don't see this as an example of True Love as much as I feel sorry for him. No matter how much Jamie taught him, he missed out on a whole lot of life.
A Walk to Remember.......2007-08-08
I'll admit, I didn't think I was in the mood for this type of story when I started reading it. And, when the author said that at first I would smile, then I would cry, I was more than determined to prove him wrong. OK, so he was right and I did cry. It was predictable and yet it still got to me. It is the story of a teenager coming of age in the fifties. Yet, in many ways it could be the story of a teenager today. Teenagers always try to fit in with the crowd and please their peers. A Walk to Remember is a quick, but memorable read.

It really us a memorable walk.......2005-09-22
This book is wonderful. It is far more sensitive and sweet than the movie version, but it still gives vivid insight into the effects we have on others- how we can all change for the better if we just have someone in our lives who expects it of us.

Customer Reviews:
The book is better, in my opinion........2006-10-11
A friend recently gave me a copy of the "Dances With Wolves" movie (one of my favorites since seeing it years ago) and the book which I had never read. After a repeat viewing of the movie, I read the book.
The main reason I normally prefer the book versions of a story is that one gets to know the thoughts and feelings of the main characters that embellish each scene and are actually sometimes needed to understand the full scope.
This reason especially applies in the case of "Dances With Wolves," written by Michael Blake. The main character is alone with only his horse, the infrequent visits of a lone wolf and his brief journalized thoughts for company until his company includes a nearby camp of Indians. As the beautiful and memorable story transpires amidst a language barrier, one is privy to a richness of behind-the-scenes depth the movie version is limited in presenting.
There are a few variations between the movie and the book, including the ending (and I prefer the ending of the book), but if you liked the movie, you will love the book.
Better than the movie.......2006-08-26
I saw the movie only once and it was good, but this book was way better! I can't wait to read Holy road.
Dances With Wolves: a review.......2006-05-31
Michael Blake's book Dances With Wolves is a great read, and one that I really enjoyed. The story is about Lt. John Dunbar, a lieutenant in the Union army during the Civil War. After being sent to an abandoned post by a drunk General Lt. Dunbar is forced to live on his own without anybody knowing that he is stationed at Fort Sedgwick, due to the fact that the guy that drove him out there was killed on the trip back, and the General was admitted into a mental hospital. Living on his own Lt. Dunbar befriends the Comanche Indians living just down the river from him, after they try to steel his horse. And that sends him on a trip through life that will cause him to change forever.
I thought that Michael Blake did an excellent job of developing the characters, especially Lt. Dunbar, Stands With a Fist, and Kicking Bird. I personally felt like I knew these characters after I was about halfway through Dances With Wolves, I was even into predicting what each character would do next. I guess the fact that I was able to do that means that the book was some-what predictable, but that doesn't change the fact that it has a good plot.
Dances With Wolves has a great theme, saying that however alone you feel or think you are, there is always somebody around that you can befriend. You can see this in Dances With Wolves when Lt. Dunbar realizes that he is alone at Fort Sedgwick and that there are no replacements coming back. Which made him feel utterly and completely alone, even pushed him into depression. Then the Comanche Indian kicking Bird found him and his camp, and this started that process of Lt. Dunbar and the Comanche Indians befriending each other.
Shook-mani-took-tonka Oh wachi.......2006-04-23
The Costner movie based on this book is one of my favorite movies ever, so it was only natural for me to pick this book when I saw it. As most would agree, the movie is NEVER as good as the book, so I quickly surmised that, since the movie was fabulous, the book must reach vast unknown limits of greatness, right? Well, not exactly. Michael Blake's writing of DANCES WITH WOLVES is certainly a good book and a wonderful story, it is Costner's ability to turn this story into such a brilliant production that is the real achievement here.
I have found that normally, if I like a movie and read the book afterwards, it serves to enhance what I saw on film. In this case, however, the book had somewhat the opposite effect for me. There are differences between the two that only seem to diminish Costner's work. A couple of things I knew already, such as Costner's use of the Indian Chief, Ten Bears, who I knew to have been a great Comanche, not a Sioux.
Well, as it turns out, the book is written to that effect. The Indians befriended by Lt. Dunbar and portrayed in the movie as Sioux, are actually Comanche. Now I can understand the alteration here, for a couple of reasons. First of all, though most Americans are notoriously ignorant of our rich history, for the most part, people do know the Comanche were the badest of the bad and it would be an increased degree of difficulty to portray the Comanche in a positive light as being rather passive and wanting only to be left alone to live in peace. Though the Sioux were hardly any more docile, their reputation is certainly not nearly as notorious. Also, for cinematic reasons, it's certainly understandable that the domain of the northern Sioux is a more picturesque backdrop that the barren plains of the Southern Comanche. Also, the Sioux language of the movie has a more poetic feel to it and is somewhat more widely recognized than the rather obscure Shoshonean spoken by the Comanche.
I hope I haven't given the wrong impression here. This is a very enjoyable read, though it is a rare occasion where the book was not nearly as enjoyable, for me at least, as was the movie.

Inspiring and Amazing.......2006-03-24
I don't know why there are somewhat negative remarks about this book. I seriously loved this book and recomend everyone should read it sometime during their lifetime. It's just one of the many examples of the white man and his reckless and destructive behaviour, and pains suffered by the Indians who owned this land before any body else.
I took a course in Native Americans in college and you further see the destruction, chaos and murder that we the white have perpetrated. It's a very moving book and I found it to be inspiring on one side but also sad.
Trully a remarkable book, would recommend everyone should read it.
Product Description
An unforgettable American story, Dances With Wolves was an international bestseller that has become a modern classic. The 1990 film adaptation won seven Academy Awards. In The Holy Road, master storyteller Michael Blake at long last continues the saga. Eleven years have passed since Lieutenant John Dunbar became the Comanche warrior Dances With Wolves and married Stands With A Fist, a white-born woman raised as a Comanche from early childhood. With their three children, they live peacefully in the village of Ten Bears. But there is unease in the air, caused by increased reports of violent confrontations with white soldiers, who want to drive the Comanche onto reservations. Disquiet turns to horror, and then to rage, when a band of white rangers descend on Ten Bears village, slaughtering half its inhabitants and abducting Stands With A Fist and her infant daughter. The three surviving great warriorsWind In His Hair, Kicking Bird, and Dances With Wolvesdecide they must go to war with the white invaders. At the same time, Dances With Wolves realizes that only he can rescue his wife and child. Told with the same sweep, insight, and majesty that have made Dances With Wolves a worldwide phenomenon, The Holy Road is an epic story of courage and honor. These new, hardcover editions published by Hrymfaxe LLC are signed individually by the author
Customer Reviews:
The Holy Road.......2007-08-07
To much history mixed with fiction. Blake uses historical events and persons to write a mostly fictional book. Not enjoyabel for a historical interested person.
May the People and the buffalo rise again.......2006-09-01
I really enjoyed this book. No, I really, REALLY enjoyed this book. The characters are so knowable, mournable, unforgettable. The stark closure of the story fits perfectly, to my taste, with the last condition of the Commanche, and was no doubt intended that way. As for Michael Blake, a great success is never without critics. I am not one of them.
I look forward to the celluloid version of this book. When this movie is made with the same vision and startling delivery as its predecessor, it will no doubt be a great film.
Since I was a young man, I have felt keenly and helplessly the loss of native languages, cultures, and civilizations on the American continents. May the People and the buffalo rise again.
EXCELLENT!.......2006-03-22
This was an exceptional book. Once I started it I could not put it down. If you enjoyed "Dances With Wolves" you are ganna love this one.
AN EPIC, BOTH TRAGIC AND BEAUTIFUL.......2005-12-27
An epic, both tragic and beautiful, "The Holy Road" is a sequel to the author's debut novel, "Dances With Wolves," which today is considered to be a seminal Western novel of our time.
Some 11 years have passed since Lt. John Dunbar left the world into which he was born to become the Comanche warrior Dances With Wolves and marry Stands With A Fist, a white woman who was raised in the Comanche world. They now have three children and are living contentedly in a village called Three Bears.
Their peaceful existence is short lived as white men attempt to drive the Comanches onto reservations, and the railroad, the white man's Holy Road, brings more settlers, more trouble, and violence. Marauders savage Three Bears, killing many of the people, and kidnaping Stands With A Fist and her baby daughter.
The three remaining warriors, including Dances With Wolves, must do battle with the white men, not only to try to save their way of life but to rescue the captives.
"The Holy Road," an exciting story of honor and courage, is a worthy sequel to "Dances With Wolves." It is tragedy brilliantly portrayed.
- Gail Cooke
Historical? Maybe not. Worthwhile read? Yes........2005-07-07
I heard an interview with Gary Paulsen after listening to one of his "Tucket" series books. He talks specifically about the historical inaccuracies in the Dances with Wolves series. I am inclined to agree with his assessment that an army officer in uniform would not have made it into a Comanche town alive after the Civil War. However, both Dances with Wolves and The Holy Road are interesting and thought provoking reads. Be prepared though, you probably won't like how The Holy Road ends. I was angry with how he killed off one of his main characters. It was glossed over too quickly in the book; Blake doesn't give the reader time to grieve the loss of a major character. If you like this book, I recommend reading Ride the Wind by Lucia St. Clair Robson.

Book Description
The Historical Epic in Contemporary Hollywood seeks to document and explain a recent revival of historical epic films in Hollywood. Rather than relying on abstract theoretical approaches, James Russell employs empirical historical techniques to explore how industrial conditions, and the agendas of key directors, writers and producers, led to the increased production of historical epics such as Dances With Wolves (1990), Titanic (1997), Gladiator (2000) and The Passion of the Christ (2004).
The book begins by exploring the careers of filmmakers like Steven Spielberg, James Cameron and Mel Gibson during the 1990s. Russell looks in detail at their agendas, the production of their films, and at the content of the films themselves. As the book progresses, he goes on to address the activities of the major studios, in terms of production and marketing, and looks at changing industrial conditions, such as the emergence of DVD. Finally, Russell examines social trends, particularly increasing levels of religious commitment and political division in America.
The Historical Epic in Contemporary Hollywood, which has been thoroughly researched in archival collections in Los Angeles and New York, deliberately focuses on the activities of individuals working in the Hollywood film industry - the result is an original and interesting account of the ways that contemporary epic films get made, and speak to modern audiences. Ultimately, the book argues that historical epics reappeared in the 1990s partly as a result of changing industrial conditions, but mainly because a generation of filmmakers, all born during the so-called `baby boom,' began to seek out meaningful ways of passing on historical knowledge to younger generations as they grew older. The epics released in the 1950s and 1960s, when Spielberg, Cameron, et al, were children constitute a key reference point in this process of renewal and reinvention in Hollywood.

A nice addtition to the movie.......2006-08-26
Dances with wolves is one of my favourite movies ever. Once you see the movie as many times as I've seen it :) you try to find something else to continue the story. The ilustrated story of the epic brings you back to the movie and has very nice photos and comments of several scenes. I reccomend it to any fan of the movie.
Brilliant.......2004-07-19
I got this book at Waldens ages ago and have enjoyed looking it over repeatedly. Dances With Wolves is truly a masterpiece and brilliant work. Kevin Costner is simply the best in acting, directing, and entertaining us.

About the movie!.......2001-08-03
If you liked the movie then this book is a must! Not only was Kevin Costner make one of the best films in history but he followed it up with this great book! My daughter picked this one up for me at a library sale. I didn't even know it existed to be honest or I would have purchased it myself. The book is a bit tattered so I checked out the local bookstore and although they didn't have it on the shelf, it can be ordered. If you liked the movie then consider this book for your collection. I fully recommend this great work of art by Mister Costner and friend.
If you hunger for more this book will satisfy.......1999-09-08
I wonder if Kevin Costner even realizes the artistic and historic contribution he has made with this film. As an artist I found this book to satisfy my graphic appetite and as a romantic I have, once again, been allowed to travel back in time. Mr. Costner has shown us his artistic brilliance in so many ways and I thank him for his efforts. Enjoy the book; it is a treasure.
Customer Reviews:
Not the complete screenplay.......2004-02-18
This being one of the most beautiful and inspiring movies of the last two decades, there are probably few people who haven't seen it at least once. For anyone interested in its background and the history of Native Americans, this book is a good starting point. However, it does NOT contain the complete screenplay. All of the important scenes are there (though stage directions are kept to a minimum), but a large part of the rest is told in prose narrative. Since there is no other publication of the screenplay around (the large hardback edition from Newmarket Press has the identical abridged version, plus photographs, minus the interviews) this can't be helped, but anyone buying this book should know they won't be getting the whole thing.
Things I liked about the book.......2004-01-08
I thought this book "Dances With Wolves" was a great book. It cought my attention quickly watching the movie. I would prefer the movie over the book because I like movies better. Although The book has much more details.
Enjoyable to the end!.......1999-05-27
My husband and I both read your book and loved it! We couldn't put it down. Enjoyed every minute of it. The movie and the book were both great! It will be a family favorite in our house for years to come.
Tearbreaking and heartfelt.......1999-02-07
I read this truly great novel after seeing the screeplay. The novel is really rich in detail and emotion. I usually never feel this way about litterature but with this novel it is quite different. I can only recommend this masterpiece for everyone to read. I also began reading about the Indians and I now have a fascination for them.

I bought this book after the movie came out and I've never regreted it. If anybody even remotely likes the movie, then they'll absolutely love the book. It gets so in debth about what he is thinking and feeling that you can't help but cry at the end just like the movie. So far I've probably read Dances with Wolves at least 20 times.
