The Last Song



"The Last Song" was recommended to me by my friends at school. I heard it was a good book and was meaning to get around to actually reading it for a long time. And when I did, no one was more shocked then me. I thought this was going to be boring and romantic. Nothing but a story of a couple of teenagers 'falling in love.' And I couldn't have been more wrong. The Last Song has soo much going on and soo much action, I didn't ever know if I was suppost to be happy, sad, actious, or scared! (And by action I don't mean guns and war. I mean it never stops being exciting!) But, oh yeah, there's still a little romance for those of you that were bumbed out for a second there.


"The Last Song" is the story of a New Yorker named Ronnie and she's 17 years old. Ronnie's the kind of goth, punk girl that goes to clubs every night and has been arrested once or twice. So, overall, she's a pretty scary chick. But one summer Ronnie and her younger brother (Jonah) are shipped out to their dad's. And the last thing Ronnie expects is to fall in love with Will.


Will's a rich, volleyball- playing, beach bum kind of a guy. (Not in the bad way.) And he's nowhere near Ronnie's "type." But believe it or not they come together.


But when Marcus gets involved in the story things go wrong. Very wrong. Ronnie will find herself and discover Will's secret in Nicholas Spark's #1 Book of New York Times Bestseller; "The Last Song."



"Sparks knows how to tug at a reader's heartstrings."


- Chicago Sun-Times





"Romance, betrayal, and youthful discovery . . . Fans of The Notebook, Message in a Bottle, etc., will gobble it up."


- Entertainment Weekly





"41/2 stars! Readers will be invested in this story from the beginning. That it's never too late to strengthen relationships with loved ones is a central focus, and it's exemplified by comparing life to a song. Another emotional blockbuster!"


- RT Book Reviews



I've been wanting to read one of Nicholas Sparks books for a long time and I was stuck on which one. But I wouldn't have wanted it to be any other, because this is a truly awesome book! I'm thinking about maybe another one of his books. Any recommendations?



And for those of you who have been hiding under a rock and didn't know; "The Last Song" is also a major motion picture. It stars Miley Cyrus as Ronnie, And Liam Hemsworth as Will.


I went and saw the movie and actually it was pretty good. . .if you've never read the books. But if you've read the book you probably won't like how much they changed it. But it was still a good movie. And I'm not even a fan of Miley Cyrus. Honestly, I hate her. Sorry to Miley fans out there. It's my opinion. :]


Also! My Eclipse countdown continues. From the time I'm posting this it will be 7 hours and 2 minutes until Eclipse comes out in theaters near you! And to dumb it down a little . . . 1 day!






Okay, well, I thought that since some of you may to lazy to read the books then I'll let you watch the trailor. 'Cause maybe you'll see the movie. And here it is! Enjoy!

And remember: I love anyone you actually takes there time to read my blog! Peace out Home DogZ! =]

Night World Series #1-3


Ever wish that vampires, werewolves, witches, and shape-shifters are really out there? In the Night World series it makes all your wishes come true when you open up the first page!

The series is all about entering a whole new world. The Night World. Through out the books you'll go on different "adventures" with different characters as they come face to face with the Soulmate Principle - that every person is born with another half or a true love. But in the end all the characters come together to fight against the apocalypse. There's only one rule for the creatures of the night... Never fall in love with a human. And these are the stories of the people who broke the one enforced rule.

Book #1: The first book I would honestly say is the most boring. I really had trouble getting into it. It's tittled "Secret Vampire." And this is a story about a teenage girl named Poppy. She's just started the summer and like any other teenager she's excited to spend the time with her best friend; James. But things come crashing down for her when Poppy is diognosed with terminal cancer and has been marked with an experation date. James, a "secret" vampire, has the power to save her. But will they go against the law of the Night World to do it?
3 out of 5 stars.

Book #2: "Daughters Of Darkness" is one of my personal favorites of the whole series =]. Three vampire sisters leave their isolated home to live with the humans and have a normal life. They're now fugitives of the Night World. But when they get an unexpected visit from their brother, Ash, everything is turned upside down and sideways for the sisters. Ash was sent to bring them back home and if he doesn't succeed then it's not only his fate he's messing with but his sisters. And what will happen when he meets his human soulmate along the way?
5 out of 5 stars.

Book #3: Spellbinder is different and exciting. Two witch cousins move to a new town with their grandmother. Blaze and Thea are inseperable and have been together since birth. But when Thea finds her soulmate, what will Blaze do to get in the way?
4 out of 5 stars.

And by the way, just incase you have any plans to go to the store and buy these books, I should warn you that there's three books in one. Confused? Well, all these stories I reviewed are different books in one book together. Okay I probably just made it worse. If you understand my logic; then kudos to you! Great series. Go out and buy it or I'll hunt you down! Not really.

Also! For you Twilighterz out there, Eclipse is coming out in Theatres on Wednesday of this week! Two days for those of you trying to do the math in your head. I'm going at Midnight, cause that's just how cool I am.

Also! The third book of the Hunger Games series I reviewed about is coming out on August 24th and it's called; "Mockingjay" And be planning on me reviewing the second book of the series; "Catching Fire" soon!

Also! The 10th book in the Night World series is sceduled to come out in April 26th 2011! (Really it's the 4th book, book of the series) Too long.

Okay well that's all I got. Don't forget to comment and tell me what other books I should review! And remember, I love everyone who bothers to even read my blog! =]

The Twilight Series



I'm sure that if your a book lover then you've already heard of Twilight, right? Well it sure wouldn't suprise me. Twilight is a great heart wrenching series that can always find a way to grab your attention. Now, I'm sure you won't believe this but Twilight is what started me on reading. Creepy, right? So, obviously, I highly recomend it for a good read. Now it's neigh time for the summary:



The Twilight series is all about a seventeen year old girl who moves to Forks to "spend time with her dad" but really it's to make her mom happy. Bella hates it there and fears that life will never go back to normal. And she's right. When she meets Edward Cullen, Bella finds out that life can never ever go back to normal. And she loves it. Or she loves him. Either one. But you see, Edward is a creepy stalker like vampire. Throught this whole series Bella expiriences confusion, heartbreak, love, heartbreak again, and then love again, and then she has to make one of the hardest decisions in man kind . . . Dun, Dun, Dun.



And speaking of Twilight; you all did know there's a movie out, right? No? Well, there is. Not only that but there's a sequel! It's called New Moon. I think you idiots out there who have never seen Twilight or New Moon need to get yourselves to a video store right away!


BookMasterFan: Gasp! Is this what I think it is!?

Me: It's not what it looks like!

BookMasterFan: You just suggested to a bunch of book lovers that they should see a (cringe) movie!

Me: Okay . . . so it's exactly what it looks like.

BookMasterFan: How could you, J. Peterson!? I thought you were one of us. I thought that you didn't like movies. I thought that you only liked books. I thought that you-

Me: Obviously you think to much. (Interupting)

And yes, it's true. Sigh. I did suggest that you guys should see the movie. But in my deffense it's Twilight related. I mean, I wouldn't be a true fan if I didn't see the movies. So I'm sorry for those of you that flipped out when you read that. I didn't mean to cause any heart attacks. So . . .
