Who is the author who wrote the book that the movie "The Notebook" is based on?

[Sweet Pea]

My aunt said that "The Notebook", which is my all time favorite movie, is based on a book, and I wanted to know the author's name. Ten points to the person who gives the best answer!

Nicholas Sparks. His books are excellent. He also wrote A Walk to Remember, and Message in a Bottle, which were made in major motion pictures.

He also wrote the book A Walk to Remember, which is also a movie. Have you seen it? It's incredibly cute.

I don't know if I want to read the book, though. I don't want the movie ruined for me, because either the book's going to be worse than the movie, and that's all I'm going to think about every time I watch it, or it'll be better than the movie, and I'll end up never watching the movie again.
