Movies and Books




One of my favorite authors, Nicholas Sparks has recently put out two books that have become "major motion pictures"! His books, Dear John and The Last Song have been made into movies and I can not wait to see them after completeing the books.




Dear John is an addicting love story about a marine before and after the devastating attack on NYC on 9/11. Home on leave, he meets the southern belle and beauty, Savannah and immediately falls for her. This books follows their love affair over anumber of years and multiple deployments to Iraq. Their love branches across oceans and continents but can it branch the ocean of time? I could not put this book down and I'm dying to see the movie.




The Last Song, while not quite as riveting as the previous one was sitll a great read. This book was definetly directed at a younger audience about a new high school graduate, Ronnie. With no direction to her life she is sent down to North Carolina to spend a summer with a father who has been distant and covering up family secrets. Through meeting a new boy, Will, who is completely not her type and a new found relationship with her father, Ronnie learns how there are so many perspectives and sides to a single story. There were so mahy emotions played through this books and will catch any young woman's attention.
