Landon (Shane West of TV’s “Once and Again”) is popular and cool, and thinks of himself as a rebel, though the real rebel in the film is obviously Jamie. How the Landon Carters of the world will feel about it, I have no idea. I approve of this, and I think young people who value their faith like Jamie does will enjoy and perhaps even be edified by this movie, based on the 1999 novel by Message in a Bottle author Nicholas Sparks. Also like its heroine, it doesn’t care what people think of it. It is one of my favorites.Like its heroine Jamie, A Walk to Remember is pious, wholesome, and eminently open to mockery and derision. I would recommend this to anyone who loves a good love story, has ever been in love, or has some Kleenex at hand. I wanted to read this book because I am in love with the movie (I have lost count of the number of times I have seen it). This story is heart wrenching, tragic, and beautiful. Landon is drastically changed by Jamie Sullivan as he fulfills Jamie’s wish list. Nevertheless, their time together is filled with small miracles and making each other’s dreams come true.
As these two fall unexpectedly in love, they are just as unexpectedly torn apart as tragedy strikes. Landon, on the other hand, is mixed in with the ‘wrong crowd,’ and does not mind living on the edge despite the trouble he might land in. Jamie is the minister’s daughter, studies hard, and is shy.
Set in 1958 in North Carolina, Landon and Jamie both attend Beaufort High but are worlds apart. This novel tells the love story of Landon Carter and Jamie Sullivan.
