The Last Song

I recently finished reading the The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks.

I actually saw the movie in June prior to reading a book. So it was different experience for me. I usually read the book first then read the book.

As with so many books that are made into movies you miss a lot because it’s just not possible to put everything into the movie. The movie was very good in it’s own right and if you haven’t seen it I suggest you go to your nearest rental place and rent it tonight. I will tell you to have your Kleenexes ready though.

The book takes you on a summer full of life changes. Of going from being a little girl to a woman. (I’m not talking about sex) Teaches you about acceptance and learning to live for the moment. While the book has a lot of similarities to the movie it is also different at the same time.  You grow with each character and it’s worth the read.  Again as you become deeply involved in the characters of the book as you do in the movie you just may need a kleenex or two towards the end.

I really don’t want to go into to much detail for those of you whom haven’t seen the movie or read the book.

I give both two thumbs up.
