the notebook

This is a Nicholas “sappy romance” Sparks story. I will quietly admit that I read and liked his book Message in a Bottle. I hate the movie version. I stopped that dvd and gagged. After seeing Rachel McAdams in Wedding Crashers, I remembered Ebert saying how good her actiing was in The Notebook. Boom. Netflix. This movie never made me gag. It’s a sweet and sorrowful story, with great acting and good directing.

I loved the movie version of ‘Message in a bottle’ and I have now read 2 of Nick’s books that both made me gag. After I was through I looked all over the cover for where it said ‘Harlequin’ but I couldn’t find it. I also enjoyed the film version of the Notebook much much more than the book. I guess Rachel McAdams didn’t hurt that at either.
cheers.
