Read “The Last Song” and Find Out More about Miley’s Movie!

The #1 bestselling author Nicholas Sparks’s new novel The Last Song came out on September 8th. As most of you probably know, Miley Cyrus is starring in the movie adaptation of the book. She wrapped up filming not too long ago in Tybee Island. Check out the cover.

If you’re like me, I LOVE to read the book before seeing the movie, so I am definitely going to be purchasing this one! It will give us all a great look into the story and the part Miley is playing. Here’s what the novel is about according to Amazon.com:

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 of love on many levels–first love, love between parents and children — that demonstrates, as only a Nicholas Sparks novel can, the many ways that love can break our hearts…and heal them.

So far, the book has received some phenomenal reviews. One review says to definitely read the book before the movie. Here’s an excerpt of their review:

Thankfully we can also look forward to a film production of The Last Song, coming January 2010. Miley Cyrus will be playing the character of Veronica Miller, and I’m interested in seeing how well she portrays her. I’m more than thrilled to be reading about this on Sparks’ website, and can’t wait to see the novel played out on film.

Here’s a few facts you probably didn’t know about this novel :
1. Miley Cyrus chose the name Ronnie for the main character.
2. Nicholas Sparks wrote the screenplay before he wrote the novel.
3. The Last Song is the longest novel that Sparks’ has ever written.
4. The Last Song is both a love story and a coming of age novel.

If you haven’t read any of Sparks’ work, I highly recommend it. Make sure you have a steady supply of tissues on hand as well.

Sounds like a tear jerker for sure! Will you read the book before seeing the movie? “The Last Song” starring Miley Cyrus premieres in theaters on January 8, 2010.
