More About the Author
Product Description
Book Description
A compelling family drama about a rebellious teenage girl's romantic awakening . . . and first encounter with heartbreak. Written in conjunction with the hit film starring Miley Cyrus.
Product Description
Seventeen-year-old Veronica 'Ronnie' Miller's life was turned upside-down when her parents divorced and her father moved from New York City to Wilmington, North Carolina. Three years later, she remains angry and alienated from her parents, especially her father . . . until her mother decides it would be in everyone's best interest if she spent the summer in Wilmington with him. Ronnie's father, a former concert pianist and teacher, is living a quiet life in the beach town, immersed in creating a work of art that will become the centerpiece of a local church. The tale that unfolds is an unforgettable story about love in its myriad forms - first love, the love between parents and children - that demonstrates, as only a Nicholas Sparks novel can, the many ways that deeply felt relationships can break our hearts . . . and heal them.

Format:Hardcover
Most of Nicholas Spark's books are pure love stories, often sad ones, but all deeply touching.
"The Last Song" reaches further. Comprising love of life, of music, of nature - and most of all, love within a family, between parents and children in particular, in all its beauty and complexity.
The book starts with a rather long introduction into the main characters' personalities and lives. For a long time it all seems to stand a bit still. But fear not. This is a necessary part of the rich and touching story which is soon to unfold.
17 year old Ronnie and her 10 year old brother Jonah are to spend the summer with their father in North Carolina. Their parents are divorced and children have not seen their pianist/composer father for three years. Jonah is looking forward to seeing his dad as only a 10 year old boy who loves his father deeply can. Ronnie hates her father for having left the family, and wants to stay with her mother in New York. Something she makes no secret of when she arrives at her father's small beach house.
And so the scene is set for a summer nobody will forget. A summer which will affect Ronnie and Jonah, their parents Kim and Steve - plus friends to be made during the summer - forever.
We have all loved and lost. We have all experienced joy and sorrow. Points in our lives which have forced us to stop and where the road further on has changed direction. Not without pain, but the pain is the necessary seed for the growth of future happiness. For further blooms to grow along our path in life.
The sweetness and innocence of childhood, teenage rebellion, the struggle to keep a marriage alive. There are a myriad of feelings in Spark's perhaps most realistic and important work ever. And impossible to remain unaffected.
Buy it and enjoy!

A fantastic book by Nicholas Spark. It makes you examine your own relationships, and wonder whether you are working hard enough at making them the best they can be.
The father and daughter relationship is beautiful, the character Steve, played out so lovingly, waiting for the right moment to engage with his daughter....giving her time and space to work things out with herself first.
This book made me laugh out loud and cry too, I will read it again and again.

I came across Nicholas Sparks by accident, i read a few reviews and decided to buy this book, i wasn't sure if i was going to like it, but as the pages turned i could not put it down!
the story starts off slow but it soon pulls you into the world of Ronnie and you almost feel like you are walking along the beach and can see the little house with the porch where she slept to make sure the turtles were safe. a picture perfect ending to a rollercoaster story, i really would reccommend this book to anybody, and i have ordered a few more of Nicholas sparks books too!

The Last Song
Arrived as scheduled, in first class condition, but as yet I have to read, therefore it is a little difficult for me to comment on the novel itself.

LOVE this book. Nicholas Sparks, keep doing your thing.
LOVE this book, once I started I found it hard to put down! I saw the movie and had an urge to read the book and I must admit, it's gives you so much more than the film.
