Currently I am just starting the novel The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks. I wanted to read the book first and go and see the movie, but people told me the movie was amazing and that it helped them visualize scenes in the novel, so I went and saw it. I am on page thirty five right now, and so far the movie and the book are word for word the same! I am sure that it will change as I keep reading because the books and the movies are never the same, the books are better and more in depth usually. Ronnie is a teenage girl that hates her parents. “She felt like a prisoner being transferred to rural penitentiary and couldn’t believe her mom was actually making her stay with her dad for the summer” (page 8) Ronnie feels her parents are stuck in a time warp where kids never grow up, and seeing her dad wasn’t on her to do list since he left them when she was young. I think Ronnie feels like a typical teenager, her parents don’t know anything and are stupid for making her do something she doesn’t want to do. I predict she will eventually realize that seeing her dad that summer is the best thing that has ever happened to her. Sure it seems ruff at first but that’s how it is in a lot of movies in books everything starts bad and slowly gets better when the character realizes it’s not all about them…

I am so curious to find out if the book will be like the movie or if it will be better or worse. Nicholas Sparks is a very good author, and I hope this book is as good as his others!
