First of all, let's get this out in the open. I love Nicholas Sparks. Phew! I said it. Ok so The Last Song, which is currently number 12 on the New York Times best seller list, was good. I liked it, I mean it was cutesy and heart-achey, but I felt compared to a lot of other Nicholas Sparks books this one felt short. Especially since Miley Cyrus got to name the main character (Ronnie) and also play her in the movie. I have a HUGE issue with this. Not only is Ronnie not the name I would have thought to have picked, but also who would have picked Miley Cyrus? Even hearing her name makes me think of an STD. Anyway side from my Miley rant, Last Song is about a girl named Ronnie, who has a kind of screwed up past with the law and her parents divorce. Her mom forces her and her brother Jonah to go to a small beach town in North Carolina to visit their dad who they haven't seen for a few years. As predicted Ronnie doesn't want to go, accidently gets in more trouble, meets a cute guy named Will, falls in love.
Basically all the stuff Sparks is renown for is in this book. So for all you Sparks fans out there, this won't disappoint, and maybe make you want to bake cookies for your father. Anyway to end this commentary on the book, if you want to check out some stuff on the book or movie, here are some links! Enjoy!

P.S. Dear John looks like it will be fantastic and a major tear jerker if it is anything like the book! Be warned!
