If you've read other books in this same genre, how does this one compare? i have actually have read two different books of this genre. And both of these books have been written by the same author, Nicholas Sparks. The other ones were soooooooo much better though. i am totally and utterly amazed that this book is so terribly poop compared to the other books. the other books are known as the notebook and a walk to remember. they both are in the number one and number two spot in my "list" of favorite books ever read. But for some reason i do not feel that Nicholas Sparks did all that well with this book, the last song. I feel that he has really dropped the ball on this book and let down all off his readers.

In my book, the last song, Nicholas Sparks gives off like a feeling or persona that he does not want to write this or something? in the previous books sparks has put so much detail in every perfect spot. Never with too much and never with not enough. He really makes good sense of situations of panic, love, and maybe even the occasional sorrow. In the great book, a walk to remember, Sparks does a superb job in capturing the writer and making them "bond"/ connect with the characters that were portrayed. like he uses people that we would imagine very well because they remind us of people in our life. in A walk to remember, Nicholas Sparks does really well by putting in sensory adjectives and descriptions that as you can imagine, enhance your image of he scenes and concepts that (without the details) difficult to completely grasp. Even though i kind of liked the book, like i said, Nicholas Sparks really "dropped the ball" with the book, the last song. personally i feel let down to the max! i am truely insulted by this man. Not only was i let down by this FOOL, his book was pretty much terrible to the max. what made it really bad to me was that it was so predictable! like you said mr. sutherland, it was so easy to predict. for example, "After being crushed my the volleyball boy, she stammered off with her ruined shirt while he gazed at her until she disappeared into the sunset ....". like you for sure can imagine that5 she is going to have a relation ship of some sort with this fellow volleyball guy. I feel this quote has major significants because it is foreshadowing on what is coming up later in the book. it is foreshadowing that this guy, the volleyball guy, is going to come back into the story in a really big way. like some thing pertaining to those two going out or becoming really good friends and have adventures with each other. like i have heard a little about this book and movie so i kind of know what to expect. i have like put two and two together and i think that ronnie and this "popular, vollyball player" will fall in love. I really could not wait to see what would happen and what not in the near future but as the books gone on and how i have stated in this very well paragraph. even though i am not going to say it, i imagine you know how i feel about it. In conclusion of my response to the question, number six, the other books of this genre were a lot better.


Pick a character that interested you and write about them in depth. You can also analyze a relationship between two different characters.
I have decided that i will choose to analyze the character ronnie and the relationship of ronnie and her dieing father. Of to ronnie.. Ronnie in the beginning hated almost everything in her life. it sort of all started with her dad leaving three years prior to the beginning of the book. the book comes in at a pretty low point of her life after all the events of the summer happened. and then it flashed back all quick like by her mother asking her about the stuff that went down that got her in a pretty sufficient amount of trouble. It all started with her arrivel into her "new" home, well that is for the time being. She was on her way all the way from New York, where she was living with her mother. she is arriving at her fathers house in a small city in north carolina. The city is called Sands Island, even though it is not an island.

Ronnie's father left her and her little brother and her mother about three years before her deciding to come. It was when he was on tour, because he was a musician playing the piano for a semi low key band, he just decided to not come back. no phone, nothing. Nothing at to some what prepare his loving and excepting family for not being able to see him with months and months on end.. You can pretty much imagine what feelings that they were feeling about him. Ronnie, straight forward in the book, said that she hated him. Even when he came up or from where ever he was living, she would not meet with him just to talk or even get closer or even just to spend time with him, like her brother did. she dispited her brother for this because she felt that he was accepting that their father was a "bad human being". her father even made a concious effort that even her mother saw was true and sincerely from that but she was NOT having it. She hated him and she felt for those three long years, that she would never ever take him back. "Mother I dont care what he does or says, i hate him". You can basically see from that quote that she hates him.
