The Notebook written by: Nicholas Sparks Genre(s): romance and fiction Rate: 5/10 About the book: Noah and Allie were madly in love back when they were younger but grew apart over the years. When Allie is about to get married to someone else she finds Noah again and there love deepens. What will she do about her engagement? Will her and Noah end up together after finding out they are meant to be? Why I didn't like the book: The narrative was very badly switched, I didn't know who was talking for most the time.

However, there are rules to her sentence as a siren and if she breaks them more time will be added. When she finds the love of her life, she breaks a rule. The ocean favors her the most out of all the sirens, so will she get time added or will the ocean set her free? Why I liked the book: The conflict was very well centered through out the whole book, things were added to the conflict that were reasonable making the book more of a page turner. The rules were simple and easy to follow. It gave a different point of view on sirens that I liked a lot, made them seem more human. A great sisterly bond that mad...
