The notebook

Post by Varisha Khanna »

Do you prefer the movie or the book for “The notebook”?
I personally enjoyed both quite a bit !
Though if I had to pick one I’d probably go with the book! It was more detailed!
The movie had amazing chemistry between the main actors though!

The book, "The Notebook," by Nicholas Sparks was better for me because you could understand and feel better the angst between Noah and Allie during their older years, when Allie was struggling with Alzheimer's. The message about the enduring power of love overcoming any difficulty including disease was also delivered clearly by the book. Having said that, the movie was still a good adaptation of the book.

:D I personally prefer the movie because it's more visual and you get to feel and see the love between Noah and Allie despite having different social statuses.Him being there and reminding her of their love stories and interest it's truly amazing how you get to see them and being part of their journey.

I love the movie more because it had a great score that made me emotional. The book was also great and I loved that as well. A masterpiece from both of them

The book has so much more detail and personalization than the movie. I truly love both, however, books are always more exciting for me.

I watched the movie before I read the book, so I may be biaised. However, I felt like that movie was just so hyped that nothing lived up to it? Although, if I had to pick, I would pick the book because I feel like you could get a better sense of everything.
