Miles to Go by Miley Cyrus MAG
Miles to Go took me on a road trip through the life of a girl I thought I already knew everything about. Boy, was I wrong. With every sentence, I felt like Miley was talking to me, having a sister-to-sister chat. She wrote this book with her heart, and that is why it is so meaningful.
Miley is not a cookie-cutter celebrity, like many say. She knows where she came from and won’t forget it. She lives by her values and holds onto her strong faith.
Miley’s family is always her top priority. While she may be famous and live in L.A., who she is hasn’t changed. If her little sister, Noah, wants her to stay home and watch a movie, Miley will. Even if Miley gets invited to a celebrity party, it’s clear that she will choose her family first.
My favorite part of the book was when she talks about Vanessa, a girl who was, as Miley puts it, “the sister God forgot to give me.” Vanessa was a 9-year-old suffering from cystic fibrosis. Miley met her at a hospital and they became instant friends. Miley kept in contact with her family and often visited Vanessa at the hospital or called when she was on tour. One day Miley called only to find out that Vanessa’s time on Earth had ended. Miley was devastated. She immediately got off the tour bus and lay down in a frozen field. This was when Miley realized how much she had needed Vanessa, and how important it is to love every day and not take it for granted. This was just one of Miley’s many beautiful stories.
Somewhere between introducing us to Pappy Cyrus, who changed so many lives, learning to accept her “cankles,” and sharing her love for eating eggs with syrup, Miley connects with readers. For someone so young, Miley is one of the most brilliant people I have ever seen. Her fame hasn’t changed her; she stays grounded with the help of her family and her faith.
When this book came out, I became Miley’s number-one fan all over again. In reading Miles to Go, I felt like a part of the family.

I thought your review was pretty well written and you gave a very thorough talk about the book, Miles to Go.
Here's my opinion on Miles to go:
I can't say Miley is a very good writer, because to tell the truth, I kinda don't think she is (sorry!) But the photos in the center of the book were pretty well photographed. Also, I did kinda think the book was a little discriminating against atheists. I mean, I'm the same religion as Miley, but I think everyone should be allowed to have their own beliefs and in Miles to go, Miley was kind of speaking as though its wrong to be athiest or something...when discussing religion, I try to be careful and not diss other people's beliefs. I probably did write that book, but maybe not all by herself. I mean, it did say "with help from Hilary Liftin" or something.(I read the book some months ago so I can't remember exactly what it said ) It sounds like this book was mainly written to get haters to feel sorry for her.
She spent a lot of time talking about the bullies. It sounds as though she can't find it in her heart to forgive them yet.
About two years ago, I was bullied too, by a gang of girls. It was quite similiar to Miley's experience. The bullies got in trouble and have apoligized and I soon learned to forgive them. In fact, they're actually kinda nice to me now. If I were to write an autobiography, I really wouldn't waste one-thirds of it on how i was bullied, because I hardly ever think about it now. I don't let past things bother me.
And she probably dramatized some of the stories. A writer can make simple things sound dramatic.
Just because you read her book doesn't make up for actually getting to know her. I could one day write a story about myself and make myself sound like a super evil person or super nice person, that could be what Miley's doing.
