Nicholas Sparks is an amazing writer and best selling author of 14 novels.  Most of his books have been translated into various languages and have become an international phenomenon.  In addition, many have been placed on the New York Times Best Seller list within the first week of publication.  Sparks has turned his amazing literary success into blockbuster sensations as well.  Four of his best sellers, The Notebook, Message in a Bottle, A Walk to Remember, and Nights in Rodanthe have been interpreted on the silver screen.   Normally, I don’t enjoy film adaptations of novels, especially novels that I really enjoy.  I find that the film never truly represents the book and I am always disappointed.  However, Nicholas Spark’s novels turned movies have refused to let me down.  The Notebook is one of my favorite novels and initially I was nervous to see how it would be portrayed on film.  I was pleasantly surprised by the accuracy and overall nature of the way the film stayed true to the novel.  This love story was executed flawlessly onscreen and I am proud to say that this is not only one of my favorite books, but also favorite movies.  Sparks literary magic has clearly transitioned into big movie success and I strongly recommend to those that have not read his books or seen these films, to do so.
