Synopsis: In 1958 Landon Carter is a shallow but
well-meaning teenager who spends most of his time hanging out with
his friends and trying hard to ignore the impending responsibilities of
adulthood. Then Landon gets roped into acting the lead in the
Christmas play opposite the most renowned goody two-shoes in
town: Jamie Sullivan. Against his best intentions and the taunts of his
buddies, Landon finds himself falling for Jamie and learning some
central lessons in life.(Book Description from Amazon.com)
Discussion Starter:The ending of the novel is purposely ambiguous. What did it mean to you
and why? Should the ending have been spelled out more clearly? If you
believe Jamie lived, what does that say about the story and themes? If you
believe she died, what does that say? How do they differ? Let us know what you think at The Buzz!

Book Venue's Reader Reviews:
Reviewer: Sabrina
I loved this book. I read it twice and cried at the end. I'm now
reading it again to do a school report on it. It was sad but really
enjoyable but I've heard and read that hollywood ------ up the film and made
it seem like it was for kids and that it has a ---- storyline. But the book
is brill so read it before you see the movie !!! I give it a 9/10 rating !!!!!!!
Reviewer: D. Fraleigh
I read this book about one year ago
and have just re-read it again. This
book is truly mesmorizing. What Landon
did for Jamie was very compassionate
and loving. Especially for a young man
of his age. I laughed and cried both
times I read the book. A great book!!
