I have never cried while reading a book up until I read Nicholas Sparks' A Walk to Remember. Now I realize why they had to make it into a movie... because it was just THAT GOOD! I think that if everyone was as kind hearted as Jamie, or as compassionate as Landon, then the world would be a bright place. When i read that Jamie had Leukemia, it reminded me of a past experience. When I went into physical therapy, I learned two things: the therapists are "mean" because they make you work hard even when you hurt, and they also loveeeee to gossip and talk about EVERYTHING. Well I found out that my therapist had a daughter who was battling leukemia. She was invited to Disney world for a week along with many others fighting the same cancer. I also learned about many of the daily routines that she had to go through because it was a common topic of conversation in the clinic. Well when I read about Jamie also having this, I envisioned the same types of routines. The fact that Landon wanted to make Jamie's only dream come true before her possible death was amazing... I tried to imagine the joy that Jamie could have felt but I think that that is  not fathomable. This book was awesome to say the least. I am trying to get my hands on the movie so I can see if it differs in any way. I'm sure it's good whether little details were changed or not. This was a good change in mood versus the last group of books I just read. I can't wait to get back together after break so we can have a couple "Walk and Talks". I might start my next book.... "HELP'!! :)   (my mom is soooo excited and has been nagging me to start so she can discuss it with me too!)
