Author: Nicholas Sparks
Published: September 8th 2009
Pages: 390
Rating: 5/5

Summary from Goodreads:

Her parents' divorce left 17-year-old Veronica Miller embittered and confused. Three years later, "Ronnie" still seethes with anger toward her father, a musician and teacher who has abandoned hectic New York City for the quiet beach town of Wilmington, North Carolina. Nevertheless, she reluctantly agrees to her mother's altruistic plan that for the good of all concerned, she should visit her estranged father in his new home. As the story of The Last Song unfolds, novelist Nicholas Sparks weaves his magic, threading together the intricate story of three very different people tied inextricably together.

Review:

I watched this movie before I read the book and let me tell you that I do not like Miley Cyrus, I did not think she played that part well. Anyways, like all Nicholas Sparks books I loved this book! It's a little different then the other ones I have read because it is in different perspectives with Ronnie (the main character), Steve (Ronnie's dad), and Marcus (the bad dude). I really enjoyed this book and I think this book is the top of my favorites as for the movie I defiantly think that they should have had a better Ronnie for the part. Defiantly recommend the book, it has romance, humor, and some sad parts (I cried, seriously).

Review of Pride and Prejudice

Title: Pride and Prejudice Readable Classics
Author: Jane Austen and Wayne Josephson
Published: May 19th 2010
Pages: 320
Rating: 5/5

Summary from Goodreads:

Readable Classics gently edits great works of literature, retaining the original voices of the authors, making them more enjoyable and less frustrating for modern readers. Jane Austen's 1813 masterpiece humorously relates the complex mating rituals of Regency England society, as Mrs. Bennet hopes to find rich husbands for her five daughters, who will become destitute if they do not marry well. Mr. Bingley, a gentleman of good fortune, is easily charmed by Jane. But his friend Mr. Darcy's excessive pride offends Elizabeth, who quickly becomes prejudiced against him. This delightful romp is full of romantic misunderstandings, rejected proposals, disastrous elopements, and happy endings for those who deserve them.

Review:

I have always wanted to read this book, and when I got it on my e reader I was like YES, but it was in the old English which I could not understand so I was so glad I got this book because now I can understand it. Anyways, this book is defiantly a classic and can be past down to your daughter....so on and so on.. The characters are easy to picture and I felt like I was there watch it happen. Its a really great classic and I defiantly recommend it! Such a great read!
