Book Reviews of The Choice
Book Review: not very good
Summary: 2 Stars
The first half of the book was pretty good and then it skipped 10 years and jumped to the end. Once I figured out what was going on I didn't even care if I finished the book. I did finish it though and it left me feeling like I had finished a quick written wrap it up happy ending.Book Review: sorry, but it was boring
Summary: 2 Stars
I also have read all of Nicholas Sparks books. I look forward to his new releases. BUT this book is definitely my least favorite. I kept reading, waiting for something to happen. I actually would put the book down, and not come back to it till the next day, which i never do. I'm the type to just keep reading till I finish. I had to force myself to finish the book. And some things bothered me, like who would leave their dog who just gave birth, and had serious complications, all day alone.I know that sounds petty, and falling deeply in love in a weekend, please.Book Review: strong character driven tale
Summary: 5 Stars
In 1996 Beaufort, North Carolina, thirtyish veterinarian Travis Parker enjoys his swinging singles lifestyle until physician assistant Gabrielle Holland moved next door. At their first encounter, he is kind and welcoming, which frustrates her as she is angry with him. Exacerbated with his neighborly greeting, she angrily accuses him of letting his wandering boxer Moby impregnate her collie Molly. Besides that auspicious beginning, they are attracted to one another. However, Travis fears commitments will destroy his lifestyle while Gabby is seeing longtime boyfriend Kevin; her choice will impact his. Eleven years later, a car accident forces Travis to confront himself as he has a choice to make..
Told in two parts (1996 and 2007), THE CHOICE is a terrific look at a couple when they first met and a little more than a decade later. Travis and Gabby are fully developed so that the audience appreciates the ups and downs of their relationship as if these are close friends or family. The support cast like his father enhances how much the reader knows about the lead pair. Nicholas Sparks is at his best as he provides a strong character driven tale based on the premise that love's survival depends on choices people make.
