i first heard of "the notebook" from a close friend who bought and read the book and i think it has been sitting between dan brown's unread "angels & demons" and michael crichton's "timeline" gathering dust for a loooonggg time now. when i heard that they made it into a movie, i was happy that i can skip the long read and just watch the more than an hour-long love story unfold on my tv set.it took me yet a while before i found the interest to watch "the notebook" and maybe it was because i was bored last friday or i was feeling sentimental. the notebook is above all else a love story between two people of very different social classes (boy is poor, girl is privileged). what is great about it is the kind of love allie and noah shared is something that is real, that lasts beyond time and age and beyond distance. its the kind of love you read in books that while it makes you sigh at the beauty of it, it makes you wonder if a love so perfect and strong can ever actually happen in real life.
maybe it does happen for the few lucky ones but not to everyone.
