The Last Song

The Last Song is by far the best book that I have ever read! I have never been a "reader," I've always just wanted to see the movie when it came out, but after reading The Last Song, I have officially fallen in love with a book. I bought it Thursday night and finished it on Saturday, I read it every free chance I got. At work, all I did was sit and read (unless we had customers, which was rare) I just could not put it down. I guess I loved it because I could relate to it. A boy and a girl that both had to go their own separate ways, but yet still knew that they wanted to be together and knew that they loved each other. The book was not at all like I expected, but in many ways, I loved that fact. It surprised me, and in some cases really made me think. My favorite quote from the book comes from close to the ending , it says:

" Life, He realized, was much like a song.

In the beginning there is a mystery, in the end there is confirmation, but it's the middle where all the emotion resides to make the whole thing worthwhile."

I guess I loved the book because it had to do with love and music, both of which I am a sucker for. But I would strongly suggest this book to everyone! I have never cried as hard as I did reading this book. Literally, I couldn't breath I was crying so hard!

Even bigger plus! The movie comes out on March 31, needless to say, I will be going that day to see it!
