The Last Song

Reader reviewed by Jess Moody

Nicholas Sparks does it again with another outstanding book, The Last Song. This tear-jerker had me hooked on it from beginning to end. Its a great book and has a meaningful lesson that ties in throughout the whole story.

The book is about Ronnie, a rebellious eighteen-year-old from New York City who lives by her own rules. Forced by her divorced mom, Ronnie must spend her whole summer in North Carolina with her dad that she had barely spoken to for three years.  As summer progresses, Ronnie adjusts to her new temporary home and learns that her rebellious character is covering up a softer side of herself. As she starts to let her guard down, Ronnie finds things that she wouldve never expected to come across. She finds love, tragedy, and most importantly a loving and caring father that would do anything for her.  

The thing I like about the book is it is in 3^rd person omniscient view.  Each chapter changes the focus to another character in the book. I definitely recommend this book to girls, since it is more of a romance. Though it is a simple book to read, it has a great story within it about the importance of family. This book is very sad, but definitely worth reading. If you have read any of Nicolas Sparks books and enjoyed them, this book is for you.

Just as Nicholas Sparks has done in his previous books, he brings his readers through a journey of emotions. He captures a unique love story between two teenagers that seem to be very different from each other. This story shows how second chances and moments in life can lead us back home. I thoroughly enjoyed The Last Song because it brought me through a series of emotion with a bittersweet ending.

This book is a lesson at life itself. As Nicholas Sparks has done in his previous novels, he has shown us how to love, cry, and a heart warming story about a girl named Ronnie. Not only does he capture Ronnie's point of view, but also the people around her. Such as Will Blakelee, the boy she has a summer fling with. It this book shows you the many ways to fall in lvoe, and how soon it can catch you off guard. They also show her Dad, Steve's point of view. They show how your relationship with somebody you love can grow fonder, with just the tiniest of space and love. This is a great heart turning story.
