I am a sucker for Nicholas Sparks novels. I've only read a small handful of them, but I loved every one. He is easily one of my favorite authors. The Last Song, his latest novel, has become one of my favorite novels.
Just like his earlier novel A Walk to Remember, the main characters in this novel are teens fresh out of high school, so around the age of 18. The love interest is a girl named Veronica "Ronnie" Miller and a boy named Will Blakelee. In a way their story is typical, after reading many love stories, all stories become typical, but it is still very cute.
What I really liked about this book is how Sparks found a way to incorporate God into the novel. This book is about second chances and forgiveness and doing the right thing even when it is tough. That is a great universal lesson for everyone in every age group. Also, Sparks did a great job in showing the Biblical version of love in this novel. I thought that was pretty spectacular. =]
Another thing that really struck me in this novel was how it reminded me of my dad. Of course it made me cry, but at the same time it was a very beautiful.
While reading this novel I pictures certain actors in my mind knowing that this book is in production to being a movie. However, once I went on Nicholas Sparks's website I found out Miley Cyrus is to play Ronnie in the movie that will be coming out soon. Needless to say I was very disappointed at the thought of that. Oh well...it should prove to be an interesting movie then!
And, obviously, I highly recommend this novel. :DD
