Miles To Go - Miley Cyrus

Hannah Montana / Miley Cyrus. Whether you love it or hate it , that name has certainly taken over! To me , the Miley Cyrus craze just seems to be getting bigger and bigger. Although , luckily for me , I happen to be on the 'for Miley' team rather than the 'against team' and would therefore consider myself a fan.

Before I Continue with this review , let me explain to you who Miley Cyrus is. Remember the song 'Achey Breaky Heart'? Well , Billy Ray Cyrus ,the guy who sang that song , happens to be Miley Cyrus. Destiny Hope Cyrus (although last year , she officially changed her name from Destiny to Miley) was born on November 23rd 1993 (she is currently sixteen years of age!) in Nashville, Tennessee , USA. She rose to fame as star of the children's television programme 'Hannah Montana' where she plays girl named Miley Stewart who is a normal girl , but hides a secret ; she also happens to be the famous popstar 'Hannah Montana'. The show is a huge success ; in America an average of four million viewers tune in to each episode. Not only is Miley a successful actress (she has also starred in the Hannah Montana movie) , she is also a keen musican. She also has a top hit album under her belt too! Her most recent 'thing' is her autobiography book!

The book , titled 'Miles To Go' is Miley Cyrus autobiography! This book was released on March 3rd of this year and published by Disney/Hyperion Books. The book has two hundred and seventy two pages. This book is currently availble to buy from Play.com for a price of £7.99.

After hearing about this book , I really wanted to know what kind of things would be in this book , as although I am a fan of Miley's , I don't think her fans get to see the real her as she is always hidden by the mask that is Hannah Montana. So I was really interested in this book!

In this book Miley tells us all about what life growing up as daughter of a famous popstar , her normal life as well has her 'celebrity life' and also she talks about how she was bullied in school. She also tells us her likes and dislikes as well as revealing gossip about how she has and hasn't dated.

I would say that this book is mainly aimed at teenage girls , unless your a really massive fan of Miley's. It interesting to see how 'normal' she is , and this she is just like any other teenage girl! I found I could relate to Miley quite a lot when I was reading this book. It's hard to believe that this 'normal girl' is actually one half of who is probably the world's famous teenager.

Although Miley is still only sixteen years old , she has achieved so much in such a young age! She really is an inspiration to young girls all over the world! I even I find her inspiring , and she is younger than me! I like her attitude ; she is so positive about life and really believes that if you work hard and really believe , then your dream will come true! I think that is great advice for young girls. I think it's also helpful to victims of bullying as Miley will tell you in this book ; even the world's biggest stars go through bullying , and look at Miley now! She has really showed her bullies!

I really enjoyed this book ; it has so much positivity and enthusism about it! I think it is a great inspirational book for young girls , and parents will be happen to be learn , that it's a perfectly suitable book for everyone ; there is no bad language or such at all! It's all clean talk!

I found this book to be really addictive ; it only took me a couple of hours to read as I could not put it down! The way it is written is so open , honest and friendly. By the end , I really felt as if I was Miley's best friend. I was actually quite suprised by the amount of personal imformation Miley told us ; some things , which were quite 'juicy'. I had expected the book to be just a 'vague' form on information , but Miley really went into depth with this book! You really get to see what life's really like from her point of view , rather than the view of the paparazzi , so that was interesting to see.

I enjoyed looking at the coloured photographs featured in the book. A lot of them are 'personal' family photos and so it was nice to see a photo of Miley living her life as a normal girl , rather than a professional photo of her wearing her Hannah Montana wig!

Although Miley has achieved so much in such a short space of time ; it is refreshing to see that although , she could easily retire at sixteen (imagine that!!) , as she has plenty of money to keep her in luxury (she is said to be worth around £58 million!!!), she is still working hard and still has many dreams she wants to acomplish , which proves that she is not doing this job for the money , but purely because she enjoys what she does , and I think that that is a breath of fresh air , when you've got the likes of Katie Price and co who do things just for the money!

You will be amazed to see that it hasn't been all 'happy, happy, happy' for Miley. As you will find out from this book , she has indeed been through some tough times ; bullying and health problems for example! I felt quite emotional when reading about some of her 'sad' parts and I think that it's really unfair of people who criticise her , because even though she may act really mature , underneath it all , she is only a child and so people should forgive her mistakes , like they would forgive any other child's mistakes.

I would strongly recommend this book to all Miley fans , as well as those who enjoy reading! It's suprising to see how much of an inspiration such young a girl can be! I felt really postive after reading this book ; as though I could really reach for the stars and live my dreams!

Thanks For Reading!
