The book I am reading is The Last Song and the author is Nicholas Sparks. I just finished Chapter 31 and I'm done with the book. The protagonist of the book is Ronnie, but Jonah, Steve and Will are some important characters too. The end is the saddest part of the book because Steve, Ronnie's father, just died from cancer. He got into an accident with fire at the beginning of the book, but it turns out Will and his friend caused the fire. Jonah, his son, was emotionally attached to his father's death and this made the book very depressing. When Will burned down the church and gave Steve cancer, this really started up another conflict between Ronnie and Will. At the end of the book Ronnie and her brother go back to New York with their mom and Will ends up going to a college a couple hours away from Ronnie. The conflict is resolved and that made the book great! Nicholas Sparks gave a great lesson about how love can happen if you do it right. Obviously love is the theme and this novel and it was mentioned throughout. My favorite character at the end of the book happened to be Steve because he treated his daughter with respect and loved his children so much. “Nothing that’s worthwhile is ever easy. Remember that,” was one of the quotes that I thought was really cool and deep. I wonder if Ronnie accepted the pianist scholarship and became very successful.
