We all know her. Or at least we think we do. We’ve heard her on the radio, seen her on MTV, YouTube, talk shows, music videos, the internet, shirts, posters in every little girl’s bedroom, award shows, iTunes, and in those scandalous photos in Vanity Fair. She is Miley Cyrus, the seventeen-year-old made famous by her television character, Miley Stewart, or “Hannah Montana,” and the cheesy love/pop songs she writes and sings. Everyone seems to have an opinion on Miley and her actions. However, she’s now decided to open up and “come clean” about her life story in an autobiography entitled Miles to Go.
When I started reading Miles to Go, I laughed at of her attempt of writing an autobiography. But as I read the book, I fell for Miley’s stories of character-shaping challenges. At times in this book, Miley acts like a spoiled superstar, but then she’ll let her humble side come through, telling a funny story about a mistake. Suddenly she’s relatable and just like any other teenager.
Miley Cyrus ends the book with advice for her fans, the clichéd suggestion to “follow your dreams and live every day to its fullest.” She constantly mentions her goal to be a positive and good role model for her fans. In all, Miley truly means well and writes from her heart. She hopes her career in performing will inspire people to do what they love and never hold back.
Oh, just one more thing: the last pages of the book list the 100 things she wants to do before she dies, and number 40 is “make a metal album.”
Good luck Miley.
