- jonah: You just said you'd get a cookie if you wanted one. So why can't I? I'm not a little kid. I can make my own decisions.
- Ronnie: Hmm. I can see why this bothers you so
much.
- Jonah: It's not fair. If he wants a cookie, he can have one. If you want a cookie,
you can have one. But if I want a cookie, the rules don't count. Like you
said, it's not fair.
-Ronnie: So what are you going to do?
- Jonah: I'm going to eat a sandwich. Because I have to. Because the world isn't fair
to ten-year-olds."

Jonah: "- Do you want a cookie?
Ronnie: What?
Jonah: - A cookie. Like an Oreo. Do you want one?
Ronnie:- No.
-Jonah: How can you not want a cookie?
-Ronnie: I just don't.
- Jonah: Okay, fine,let's say you did want a cookie. Let's say you were dying for a cookie, and there were cookies in the cupboard. What would you do?
-Ronnie: I'd eat a cookie?
-Jonah: Exactly. That's all I'm saying.
-Ronnie: What are you saying?
- Jonah: That if people want cookies, they should get a cookie. It's what people do.
- Ronnie: Let me guess. Dad won't let you have a
cookie?
-Jonah: No. Even though I'm practically starving to death, he won't even consider it. He says I have to have a sandwich first.
- Ronnie: And you don't think that's fair.

“I have faith that God will show you the answer. But you have to understand that sometimes it takes a while to be able to recognize what God wants you to do. That's how it often is. God's voice is usually nothing more than a whisper, and you have to listen very carefully to hear it. But other times, in those rarest of moments, the answer is obvious and rings as loud as a church bell.”

The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks begins as a teenage girl named Ronnie who visits her dad's house for the whole summer. In the beginning, she hated that place, loathed every single bit of it. But as the story progresses, she meets new people and falls in love with Will. She gets into trouble with some of her friends, and she deals with the trouble that her dad has fallen sick.

Add a CommentIf this title were in the Young Adult Fiction section, I might not feel compelled to be as harsh as I do. This book was just awful. I rarely quit a book before at least finishing it, but I gave up after about 150 pages -- almost half way, but I couldn't stand to read another word. The plot might've developed into something interesting, but it was just so badly written, with very stilted dialogue and unlikeable characters, I couldn't bring myself to stick it out to the end. So much for the NY Time Bestseller List.
Good and emotional book. Enjoyable read.
This books is very touching and shows the effects of how relationships between a parent and child can be rocked after a divorce. But when they are forced to spend time together they are able to start patching up the relationship.
This book was very emotional and heartwarming. I definitely enjoyed this book!
After reading this book. It's very touching. This is one of the most best books writen for young Adults who are experiencing young love.
One of Sparks' better novels. It provides lots of depth to the characters and many twists in the storyline.
I loved this book even though it was sad. The main reason I liked the book was that it kept you wanting to read more.
Great book loved it! Sparks does it again! A beautiful Story! Book is way better than the movie. The movie messed up a few things.
Book was so good!!!! Movie was ok. Would have been better if Miley Cyrus was not main character
Sad, I loved Jonah
