Escaping within another characters world and finding the similarities between theirs and yours and clasping hope from it all...that is a story.

It took me months to read all of the novel “The Last Song” after I watched the movie and fell in love I needed more. I read the novel and everything about it was written perfectly, I love the style Nicholas Sparks uses because it allows you to really get into the heads of all the characters and understand the thoughts and processes… something action scenes and narrative language cannot visualize. This proved to me how much more important a novel is when it comes to character analysis. One quote from this was “you have to love something before you can hate it” and it really stood out to me because I never really gave novels a chance, said I just didn’t have time or the patience for it and than the moment I got swallowed up into the middle of this novel I found peace with myself. I got taken by a story that offered me a home for a little while when the real world was to shaky to even stand or withold tears from. I now understand why people read, before this book I had read like… Matilda, most of The Boxcar Children series, The Giver, The Outsiders, Supernatural Nevermore, Nanny Diaries, and some comics and other parts of books but not the entire literature beauty. Anyways, this was yet another book that I read from start to finish but it was different, it was a love story, a love story about family and forgiveness and moving on and all things beautiful. This book was something I am so proud to have read and since it was just a borrowed copy I shall purchase one for myself and hopefully continue this gorgeous journey within a strangers eyes. Novels, they are definitely worth making time for and in a time of stress and great need to escape, they are nothing less than perfection. Thank you.
