The Last Song



Also by Nicholas Sparks, s story about love (of course!), second chances and forgiveness.
Ronnie is rebel, vegetarian, almost young adult who is forced to spend summer with his dad. Her brother is very excited, but she hasn't spoken with her dad (or wishes to) since their parents divorced.

I enjoyed it very much because one reads how the characters grow, and mature. They are definetly not static. The story is breath-taking and reminds us that our family and loved ones are the most important in our lifes.

There is also a movie based on the novel starring with Miley Cyrus.

A Walk to Remember


Do you enjoy romance movies? Then you shouldn’t miss Adam Shankman’s breathtaking movie: A Walk to Remember. The movie is based on the homonymus novel by Nicolas Sparks.
The movie is about Landon Carter, a popular teenager (Shane West), who is forced to do community service for committing a prank. The community service draws him toward Jamie Sullivan, a girl whom he has known all his life but never really talked to. He is also assigned to participate in the Drama Club spring play and struggles learning the lines. So, he asks Jamie for help. From then on, he draws nearer to her until he falls in love with the serious, conservative, and far from cool Jamie.
However, as their relationship develops, Jamie must keep a big secret from Landon that would destroy their future together.
A Walk to Remember has an amazing script and the strong performances from the West and Moore. I loved it, and I think that this movie would please a much wider audience one could expect, including adults, even men say that they need a tissue for the ending.
