What Parents Need to Know
This review of Miles to Go was written by Stephanie Dunnewind
Parents need to know this is the sweet Hannah Montana side of Miley Cyrus, not the controversial one that pops up in sexy photos. This isn't a dishy celebrity tell-all. Cyrus and her co-author keep her young fans in mind, with many "I'm just like you" stories and inspirational passages. The book encourages readers to see Cyrus as role model; she shares her Christian values and Biblical passages.

- Families can talk about what it means that even a beautiful star feels ugly and unable to live up to media images. Miley writes, "I'd see myself in makeup, or Photoshopped in magazines, and see this perfect, airbrushed version of myself. Then I'd look in the mirror and see reality." Is it good advice when she tells readers, "If you ever find yourself wishing you looked as good as Miley Cyrus in some photo . . . just remember: Miley Cyrus doesn't look as good as Miley Cyrus in that photo."

Book Summary
Miley Cyrus may be the star of a hit movie and television series (and daughter of country singer/actor Billy Ray Cyrus), but she still worries about acne, hates sixth-grade bullies, and drinks Ovaltine with her dad in the morning. In this autobiography, complete with two color-picture sections, Cyrus offers a backstage peek into her TV show, concerts, and family life. With short, conversational asides in the margins ("I know! Who wants normal teen angst?") and various lists ("7 things I'd like to change about myself"), the book will make Miley seem even more like a friend and role model to Hannah Montana's tween fans.
Is It Any Good?
Adults may roll their eyes at MILES TO GO's trite attempts at inspiration ("You can change the world/ And bring the light") but Miley's willingness to expose her insecurities (such as worries about acne and weight) will resonate with her young fans. Despite a narrative that jumps around in time and focus, fans will love the personal details (she skips Elton John's and Madonna's post-Oscar parties to eat pizza with her mom, in pajamas).
Miley touches on how media criticism (of such things as her cuddly relationship with her dad, and, ridiculously, her large ankles) hurts her feelings, but she doesn't mention the Vanity Fair photo controversy. Miles to Go is at its best when Miley's rural Southern roots ("there's nothing more relaxing than to kick back and watch chickens be chickens") and sense of humor ("when I look back on my life, the only theme that I see starting to emerge is wigs") show the girl behind the star.

It's A Good Book But Only For Fans
It's a good book but only for fans. It's a easy book to read so is perfect for her younger fans and a light easy read for her older fans. It has good messages and I personally don't think it's that commercial it's mostly her life not her job. I really liked this and so did my sister but if your not a fan you won't like it.

Miley Needs Help.
Miley Cyrus needs a role model better than Britney Spears. I hope the best for this girl, but I don't think that the best is EVER going to come. She is not talented and is completely self-obsorbed. She is not a good role model, the language is awful for a SIXTEEN year old, and the sexual situations are mild, but there! Sadly, Miley fans are under the age of 13, so this book will more than likely not be successful because of the content. Sorry Miley, but your book SUCKED!
