The Last Song

I read the book The Last Song by Nicolas sparks. This book is a romance that has amny ups and downs to it. i chose this book beacuse I saw the movie and I loved it! But since the movie and books are usually alot different, I wanted to check it out.

The main character in this book is Ronnie. She is a sort of girl that doesnt like to deal with anything that doesnt have to do with herself. Ronnie's father wanted her and her brother to come visit him, but Ronnie didnt want to since he had left her for three years. So her mom made her go anyways. The story has you sitting on the edge of your seat when the boy is introduced. Will Blankee is the rich boy in town. The way they meet is on the beach. By the end of the day the two of the teens went out for a walk on the beach. Will works at an aquarium as a volunteer, and at his fathers Auto Shop. The story is turned around when Blaze, Ronnies first friend here, puts stolen items in Ronnies bad for a reason that she is so selfish about. Blaze has a boyfriend that like Ronnie. But Marcus doesnt know what to do with Blaze. He is bacicly just stalking Ronnie. Will invites Ronnie to her sisters wedding, and him and Marcus get in a fight. Will's mother dilikes Ronnie and thinks she is low class. Ronnie meets Will's EX girlfriend, and she tells her lies that try to make them brake up. Will's friend Scott is all about himself. He is a champion volleyball player, but he has a guilty concious. You see he burned down a church and blamed it on Ronnie's father, Scott. So now scott has to put together a new window for the church. Jonah, Ronnie's little brother, helps him throughout the summer. Ronnie and Will have a turtles nest that they keeps an eye on, and the day they hatch, Scott is rushed to the hospital. he has stomach cancer and it has spread to his pancris and lungs. They tell him he has less than a year to live. When Jonah leaves to go home with his mom, Ronnie refuses to leave her dying father. A few weeks after the window he created is put in, he passes away.

I loved this book. I would recomend this to girls. But some guys might like this book also. Two things I liked about this book is the way the author discribed the character. I could acctually image the person in my head. Alsos it had a good story line to it. Two things i didnt like about the book is, that her father passes away. I dislike sad stories. Also I did not like the fact that Ronnie was blamed for anything, I guess its just part of the book. I would recomend this book to a freind. On a scale from 1-10 i would give it a 9.
