Who else wishes that 'A Walk to Remember' had the popularity that 'The Notebook' has? But don't get me wrong, I like 'The Notebook' . . . I just happen to LOVE 'A Walk to Remember'.

[@Anonymous-ru2vg]

Such a beautiful movie , and a huge plot twist, one of if not my most favorite movie out of all ♥️

[@yashpawar3308]

I'm right now reading 'A walk to Remember' and loving it. I first watched 'The Notebook' and then 'A walk to remember' and then came to know about books. So, after this I'll read 'The Notebook.'

[@mikebluet]

@@yashpawar3308 Which one did you like better????

[@kikio-rq9kx]

He wrote none of these books or movies. A horrible racist like this man is incapable of love. Definitely has a ghostwriter.

[@virginiasopko2288]

Although the movies can be outstanding, I prefer reading the books. A Walk to Remember is available at two local libraries. After 26 years, this books continues to be circulated. Obviously, I am not alone. Recently read the memoir "Three Weeks With My Brother". The brothers talk about growing up together and unfortunate lose of their mother, father and 33 year old sister. The memoir indicates where his inspiration came from some of his family members.

[@deerandomized9337]

He didn't jump off until he was 28!!!! That's inspiring to know I'm not too old

[@seekingnexus]

You're kidding right? A person can become a working author at any age .

[@vickiheath8905]

Good on you keep the dream alive! I am writing my first novel at 40, everyone has a different path

[@JR-ju3kj]

28? Of course you're not too old.You've got plenty of time. Stan Lee(the co-creator of Spider-Man,Iron Man,The Hulk,Doctor Strange,the Marvel version of Thor and many other legendary Marvel Comic book Super Heroes)didn't become successful and have his breakthrough in comic books until he was in his late thirties and into his forties. Christopher Waltz and Morgan Freeman didn't have their breakthrough in Hollywood until they were in their early fifties. Colonel Harland Sanders(the founder of Kentucky Fried Chicken)didn't become a major success until he was in his sixties.It's never too late unless you think it is! Being a late-bloomer to jumping off can actually be a good thing. I'm almost 40 and I've got a lot of books( and comics)that I plan to write in my forties.

[@dbee9064]

Dear Nicholas Sparks, Thank you very much for sharing your gift of the written word! Your novels and their authentic themes pierce the heart. I wish you the very best for your chapters in life. Again,with sincere gratitude and appreciation.

[@ajeshsaviour5423]

His work reflects the situations that he faced in his life.....his books, the words are so honest, you can tell that just by listening to him. If i had to describe his work by one word i'd say BEAUTIFUL!!!

[@michelleschlegel8115]

See Me is one of my most favorite along with The Guardian and Safe Haven. I love his more suspenseful, twisty, mysterious love stories. But I really just appreciate his way of writing and writing love stories from a male perspective, even when he writes from a female character's point of view. I also appreciate his telling from all characters point of view and back stories, even the "bad guy".

[@swatihage5799]

Sir,I'm very impressed to your writing How narrated this real love story was! Whenever I read the book A walk to remember I would have never ever read .I complited reading in 10days, although my English is not ever clear I try to understand.I cried three times during the situation on Jamie and Landon ,I told this story my wife and family.Love from India.

[@achrisdesign]

Awesome and inspiring author. Thank you Nicholas.

I've read so many of his books 📚 😍

A Walk To Remember brought me here. What a great Author!

Talented writer , am enjoying you novels in Saudi Arabia

[@bashadicaprio4778]

The ability to give up the real world... That hit me sir..

[@codysett1]

See me was very a good book. Very easy to follow and kept you on the seat.

[@esraahesham4174]

I read the best of me and now reading the return and both are lovely. They have this sweet smooth romantic feeling that is not exaggerated

[@Anonymous-ru2vg]

My hero ♥️ he’s such a unique writer, my respects for him, made every macho man cry like never before lol

[@blackvenom6669]

I always wondered how writers remember what they wrote

[@juliannaedwards9207]

I'm a freshman in high school and I need to choose an author that has at least 4-6 books. I've been doing some research and I think I might choose him. I like that some of his books have both romance and danger/mystery. What do you guys think?

[@markgwapo2918]

Go!

[@labelle4123]

I look up to you Nicholas Sparks...

[@cornelsiregar3833]

I'm not a soldier just a security officer I've felt the struggle of long distance love because my job has to leave the village where I live I've also felt that I almost lost the woman I love, even though in the hope that we'd finally be together. Jhon, there is a person who is stronger than me who feels that he has lost his love even though he can finally meet the woman he loves after years of not seeing each other. so I hope mr.nicolas spark understands the questions that arise Remember that God also has holy feelings and God will not give trials that humans cannot face. If you have a sincere intention, love, everything can be faced so don't because the story hangs for popularity because true love is not a rating

[@afidmurad7381]

Why he didnt mention the longest ride.. Its my favorite romance movie ever 😘

[@estephaniey123]

I used to love his books until I realized how theres literally not a single main character that is a minority in any of his books . Heck theres hardly minority supporting characters.

[@sfuikm]

Oh my god you are pathetic

[@MA-ug6pz]

I suspect he wouldn't realize then that such a plot would be sold successfully

[@JR-ju3kj]

I personally think that Nicholas Spark is a racist and I often say that I believe him to be a bigot.And I'm even writing a comic book where a character will call him a racist and make fun of his movies only ever having good-looking white people kissing. I don't accuse Sparks of racism because of his vision of the world in his books because authors and filmmakers have every right to go out and make their own vision-which is what David Lynch,Woody Allen and the late John Hughes did but I call him a bigot because of other things.

[@miaserna9096]

Merry Christmas and hapy new year 2022 greetings healthy. I am Cornel from Indonesia I am happy with your work especially dear Jhon Even though it's been 10 years, maybe more. but there is something that makes me very confused with the ending which is very simple so that it makes a lot of questions. Not meant to be insulting because the story is really the struggle of true love that is timeless. I hope You want to make a sequel that has a really happy ending? taken from the same story but more from the side of the savanna struggle to maintain his love or help tim because of tim's disease tim should be considered a father instead of replacing tim's wife who ran away and tim has a child suffering from autism, he must be treated and make the wrong choice of savanna and the last moment of struggle waiting for the trust of love savanna meets john who states that savanna has been struggling to wait for jhon to return to his side with the words "don't leave me again" which can be used as a title. and this gives me and many people great satisfaction. and thank you if you read happiness wishes

People call these teen girl books or chick flicks. But like it’s written by a man. Why do we shade things that are emotional or about love

2000 words in 7 hours? Only? I may not be a best selling author but I sure hell can write like 7000 in 7 hours

[@sijoalex5951]

It's about quality more than quantity

[@kj1227icecap]

Where are your books?

[@pinkcandy9635]

Everybody can write more than 7, 000 words in 7 hours, but not everybody can write a piece that is magical, something that can be "best-selling" in the future. So, don't belittle writers. Also, you were the one who said that you aren't a best-selling author, right? 😏
