A walk to remember --- A novel touches your heart (I)

Although this year is pig year, I work hard to be a human-being. Hmmm, I should do more exercise from tomorrow... hahaha
Well, except I should keep in shape (the day to go to Hawaii is approaching), I sometimes read novel when I’m free, especially the time to take IELTS course in TPE city. I found my reading speed is better and better now, this novel "A walk to remember" was finished last week and I spent 3 weeks to accomplish it. I’m going to pick up a new novel or I will feel bored in the train from this week

The main characters are Landon an Jamie. The Landon is not the Robert Landon in Da Vinchi code. But if it was, it would be a lot of fun I think. Huh, to go back to original track : - ) Landon rewinds his life when he was 17 years old. When you read the novel, you smile first, and then cry second --- it is warned by Landon. Landon sometimes teased at Jamie’s back frequently, especially when he hung out with his friends. For example, he said Jamie is weird because she always bring a bible on her hand. The reasonable consequence is she is the daughter of a minister. Moreover, he didn’t like Jamie is too optimistic. This condition is changed until a event is carried out.

One day, there is one home party whose rule is that everyone should take his female partner to this party. If not, he has to clean house after the party. Since he didn’t wanna clean it ... which is a minor reason, and the primary one is he must be laughed at by others. So Landon considered who he can invite. Of course, Jamie is on the list but no longer exist as thinking of it. However, again and again, he found he has no choice and the other guy may ask for it; Jamie has no reason to reject the guy’s invitation. Therefore, after a couple of days thinking, he made his decision that to invite Jamie as his partner... The story thus begins.

Well, it is interesting to know how do they fall in love, which goes so naturally. Both of them unveil the truth that he/she is not the people he/she thought before. London finally knew the reason why Jamie always took bible on her hand when he walked her home. She said her mother died while giving her birth. Besides, she caught this bible on her hand. So Jamie wants to keep it and pretended her mother is part of her! When Landon heard it, he definitely shocked and he felt extremely guilty owing to his behaviors before...

On Christmas day with Jamie at orphanage, Landon gave her a Christmas gift which is a beautiful sweater. Jamie promised she wears it when she sees him next time. Jamie also prepared something for him as well. I guess if Landon doesn’t give her a gift, she may not give him this one as a feedback. Haha, just kidding. Hope it doesn’t break this romantic feeling. Well, before Landon opened the gift, he knew what it’s inside! He said he can’t afford to receive this gift breathlessly. Yeah, after he unwrapped it slowly while his hands trembled, the gift is her bible which is always on Jamie’s hand! He turned away and can’t say anything. The image of the time with Jamie came flooding into his mind, such as the homecoming party she done for him, a play, the days to walk her home, and collected jars and pennies for orphans.

To be continued...
