Book Review: Miles to Go

Miles to Go is Miley Cyrus' newly released autobiography. I read it to my second grade class and just started reading it to my eight-year-old daughters.

I enjoy biographies. Learning how someone climbed the ladder to success is something I find very interesting. Miley Cyrus' life story is far more interesting than I imagined it would be. If you just figured that Miley got the part as Hannah Montana because of who her dad is . . . I think you would be right, but not because of who you think her dad is - it's better.

From a low, low, low that I think a lot of people can identify with to an incredibly fast change (that happened oh-so-slow,) Miley's story is fascinating. Miley's anecdotes and corresponding commentary show a wisdom way beyond her years. Any girl who is a fan is bound to be positively influenced by reading Miles to Go. I highly recommend it. (And there's really no reason that boys wouldn't enjoy the book as well.)

There are two other people groups that I would strongly encourage to read Miles to Go .

1. Moms of child stars. Reading Miles to Go would offer them plenty of solid advice on how to do this job well.
2. Dads. I challenge any dad to read Miles to Go while pondering what kind of dad he wants to be and not be challenged to do some things better. I was.

There were two or three parts I skipped when I read the book to my second grade class. They just got a little too grown up for that setting. I will likely read these parts to my daughters though and tackle any discussions they bring about.

I think most anyone would enjoy this book (if they like biographies at least,) but here are some people that I think in particular SHOULD NOT MISS reading this book.
