Product Description
#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.
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.
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?

 The Choice, 2008-10-14
This book was very good. I teared up a few times, as always with Nicholas Spars.

 Enjoyable, 2008-10-11
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.

2 Choices, 2008-10-08
Nicholas Sparks writes a moving love story between Gabby Holland, an attractive young Physican's Assistant and Travis Parker, a handsome local Vet in a small town in North Carolina. Gabby moved to the small town to be with her boyfriend and soon-to-be finance. However, as things progress, Gabby notices that Kevin is hesitant about commitment and the initial spark begins to wain. It all becomes clear to Gabby when she meets her neighbor Travis. Through a series of fun-filled weekend activities, they become involved and Gabby is faced with a choice. During the second half of the book, which is not nearly as exciting as the first, Travis is also faced with a difficult choice. In both cases, they choose the best choice!

What a choice!, 2008-10-04
Several people had warned me. "Oh, you're reading a Nicholas Sparks book," they had asked. "You're going to cry." It seemed the unanimous assumption to his books.
Obviously, like many people, I had enjoyed the movie of "The Notebook" and heard numerous life-altering stories about the novel. Never feeling compelled to read the source of that adaptation, I picked up another of Nicholas Sparks' novels ("The Choice" being currently up on the NY Times Bestseller list). It also helped that most of the people I'd spoken with about this novel had yet to read it. The back of the paperback indicated a fresh new story, full of romance and intrigue. A neighbor's encounter leads to the possibility of love.
How blind I truly was by it all. This book is startlingly funny and gets you right in the places of your heart that need it most. I could barely put it down and found myself bonding with the characters despite the minute exposition and short storyline. I felt I knew Travis and his sister Stephanie and could completely empathize with how neurotic and crazy Gabby was. I loved these characters so much, I didn't understand why time had to jump 10 years later for the second part of the book.
I won't spoil it all, but will say that "The Choice" is an expansive and gripping novel of love at all costs. It teaches you to conquer your fears and let go of what "may happen" for the honest experience of what is happening.
This was my first Nicholas Sparks book and I will eventually read them all. I now just have to wipe the tears from my eyes to get to the bookstore! This was such an amazing read!

The Reality in Making Choices, 2008-09-30
Sparks is at the top of his game in "The Choice" as he brings down to earth, in a credible life drama, the reality and consequences that face all of us who find ourselves in the position of having to make life altering decisions, not only for ourselves, but also having been entrusted to do so for another. What I most appreciate about Sparks writing, both here in The Choice and in his other books is his high regard for moral integrity.
