1) Hardcover Book The Choice by Grand Central Publishing. Travis Parker has everything a man could want: a good job, loyal friends, even a waterfront home in small-town North Carolina. In full pursuit of the good life -- boating, swimming, and regular barbecues with his good-natured buddies -- he holds the vague conviction that a serious relationship with a woman would only cramp his style. That is, until Gabby Holland moves in next door. Despite his attempts to be neighborly, the appealing redhead seems to have a chip on her shoulder about him...and the presence of her longtime boyfriend doesn´t help. Despite himself, Travis can´t stop trying to ingratiate himself with his new neighbor, and his persistent efforts lead them both to the doorstep of a journey that neither could have foreseen. Spanning the eventful years of young love, marriage and family, The Choice ultimately confronts us with the most heartwrenching question of all: how far would you go to keep the hope of love alive?

I really like Nicholas Sparks as a writer. I think he creates very believeable characters. The plots can sometimes be a little schmaltzy, but then sometimes that´s not a bad thing either. His books are definately character driven. I found Gabby a little bit hard to connect with. The introduction made her somewhat unlikeable, and while she grew throughout the book, some of her choices and attitudes left me shaking my head a bit. The conflict that our man Travis faces at the end of the book is heartwrenching though and really made me question what would I do in that situation. While I didn´t like this book as well as some of his other books, Nicholas Sparks delivers another good read and I enjoyed it.

2) Hardcover Book The Choice by Grand Central Publishing. I´m a Nicholas Sparks fan anyway, but I really enjoyed this book. It kept my intrest the whole time, and I felt the characters were my friends. I love a book that pulls you in like that. Loved it!!¤

3) Hardcover Book The Choice by Grand Central Publishing. From the beginning, I knew this was going to be a book I could not stop reading! The characters drew me in and would not let me stop turning page after page of a great love story. I actually wish the book was longer so it wouldn´t have to end. A great read.¤

4) Hardcover Book The Choice by Grand Central Publishing. This book was very good. I teared up a few times, as always with Nicholas Spars.¤

5) Hardcover Book The Choice by Grand Central Publishing. I enjoyed reading this book... moreso at the beginning. Part II is rushed and melodramatic and didn´t live up to the complexity and maturity I thought the story captured better in Part I. I wasn´t sure what to expect when I decided to buy the book. It was a quick read. It probably wasn´t fair that I read it right after "Three Cups of Tea," which is so profoundly written and such a compelling true story. Still, especially if you enjoy "chick books," it´s probably worth it if you are up for a little romantic fantasy and enjoy dogs and North Carolina as a backdrop.¤

6) Hardcover Book The Choice by Grand Central Publishing. #1 New York Times bestseller Nicholas Sparks turns his unrivaled talents to a new tale about love found and lost, and the choices we hope we´ll never have to make.
