BTSYA / Teen Reader (17):
I enjoyed this novel immensely. I was hooked from the beginning to the end with the warmth and humility of the characters and brilliant storytelling. Throughout A Walk to Remember, the author subtly reminds the audience how precious life is and how it should never be taken for granted. It was inspiring, to say the least. Additionally, I liked that this novel left the ending entirely up to the reader’s imagination. This is definitely a book that I will read again and again.

I recommend this novel to readers in high school. The main character, Landon, exhibits the importance of standing up for what you believe in and of not giving in to peer pressure. This is a message that everyone needs to hear, especially through the often daunting years of high school. A Walk to Remember is a moving and delightful story that leaves readers captivated. This is a not to be missed novel.

Sure, it's a romance, but it is also a great story about friendship, change, acceptance, and self-discovery. Oh! And inspiration, too.
