"A Walk To Remember" by Nicholas Sparks started out a little boring. The book does really good in setting up the story but I didn't like that it took so long to get to the actual story of hoe Landon fell in love with Jamie. I guess the two beginning parts actually had a lot to do with the story now that I reall think about it. Landon and Jamie live in a small town where everyone knows eachother. Landon's parents and Jamie's dad don't really have a nice history together.
So it all started when Landon decided to take drama senior year. Jamie was in his class. The first day in that class Jamie got up off her seat to wave hello to everybody and she gave Landon a smile that made him actually look at her. He said that day he saw that she looked nicer, not prettier but nicer.
Jamie was a very quiet girl and she didn't really have any friends. She was a very spiritual person since her father was a minister. Everyone at school made fun of her, even Landon. The teachers adored her though. Landon had never really talked to her even though they have been going to school together since kindergarden.
So Landon first started talking to her because he needed help on his lines for the play. If he would've never decided to take drama that year then this story would've never been told. So when he first asked Jamie for help she said "Don't fall in love with me Landon", of course Landon took it as a joke because at that moment he would've never even thought of her as a close friend. Well somehow Jamie knew it would happen. I have no idea how. Maybe she had liked Landon for a very long time already. It seems kind of creepy tough, that she knew he would fall in love with her.
Well the more time Landon and Jamie spent together the more he realized that she was just like any other person he knew. He had just never wanted to give her a chance. If he would've never taken drama he would've never even looked at Jamie twice.
Well a lot of guys are like that now a days. They base their feelings on appearences. Well at least teenage boys. Jamie was a very sweet and inoccent girl that started changing Landon. Landon didn't understand what was happening. He didn't understand how it was happening. He hadn't really takled to Jamie in years or something like that then suddenly she was changing him. He said that she was making look at life differently.

When the time for the homecoming dance came along Landon didn't have a date. Jamie was his last option. I thought that was so messed up. She was his last option, that was the only reason why he asked her. He didn't want to show up at the dance without a date. Their relationship didn't start off as well as it could've but I hope Landon starts seeing Jamie for what she is like not for what she seems like.
My opinion for the beginning of the book is very general since there hasn't been a lot to say about Jamie and Landons relationship. The plot is good but I can't wait to see how Jamie and Landon end up.Compared to the movie the book sets things up slowly. I wish they would've put a little more of the book into the story. I would've liked to see a little bit more of the Jamie in the book, in the movie. Landon also changed in the movie. He seems a lot meaner. Overall I liked both the book and the movie. Nicholas Sparks is a great author and I plan to read a lot more books from him after I finish this book.
