Question: If you could change one thing in the book, what would it be? Why would you change it?

Response: If I were to change one thing about this book I would change how the book ended. When I was reading the last chapter I felt that the author wasn't adding as much detail as he was in all of the other chapters. The last chapter was the most boring and very dry. I thought the book was going to end a lot better. It was also disappointing because i read this whole book, and it had a horrible ending.

Question: What character do you like most in this book.

Response: My favorite character in this book is Allie. She is my favorite character because she is very brave, out going, and doesn't let anyone stand in her way. I love how she went back to Noah after all those years of not seeing him. She is a wonderful artist, and does whatever she wants whenever she wants.

Question: What do you think is the theme (author’s message) in this book?

Response: I think the author in the book is trying to say that no matter what your 1st love will never go away. I think he is trying to say that because Alli keeps on going back to Noah. Even after 14 years with out hearing from one another and thinking they were over each other, they really weren't. After Alli left Noah's house they were both crying because they will never see each other again.

Question: Do you think you would read another book by this author? Why or why not?
Response: I would read another book by this author, because i love the way he talks. He is very descriptive and when i start reading i don't ever want to put the book down until i know what happens. I love how i can see everything that is going on in the book in my head bright and clear. I can picture everything he is trying to say and can understand everything.

QUESTION 1: How did what you read today make you feel? Why?

RESPONSE 1: What I read today made me feel happy and sad at the same time. I was happy because the character in the book named Allie went back to visit her first love. The talked all night about everything that had happened between the fourteen years they had without seeing one another. They were laughing and having so much fun like the old days. What had made me sad was that Allie was engaged to a rich man named Lon. Allie and Noah both still loved each other so much, and it was sad that they weren’t together anymore. It was also sad because Noah was left alone when Allie is engaged to a man when she still loves Noah.


QUESTION 2: What do you think about a particular character's actions? Was he/she right or wrong to do that?

RESPONSE 2: I really like what Allie is doing in this book.I think that what she is doing is right, nut wrong at the same time, because she really loves Noah. Allie went to Noah’s house after 14 years when she saw his picture in the local newspaper for building his dream house. They both still loved each other and I think it was very smart for Allie to go to his house. She had a lot of courage and strength to go and show up at Noah’s house out of the blue even though she is engaged.
