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 definition of true love August 31, 2010
T. Gardner (Tulsa, OK)
The Choice is a heartfelt book that deals with the meaning of true love and how far you are willing to go for the one you are in love with. The characters are vividly real and I found myself wishing for my very own Travis and the closeness shared amongst the characters. Well written, and even though the end is slightly predictable I wouldn't wanted it to end any other way.
 Life in prospective August 28, 2010

This was an awesome book. i started it a few days ago but really got into it today. I could not put it down. I found myself falling in love with Travis (almost like cheating on my husband). This is the way that true love should be. Being put in Travis's situtaion I do not know if I could have done it either. This book truely makes you put your own life and relationship in prospetive. I will definatly be reading and watching more of Nicholas Saprks.
Great Book August 24, 2010
Frances Chapman (Hudson, NC)
Not all books have a happy ending, as life gives us many choices, so does Nicholas Sparks with his characters. Happy to one, may not be happy for all!! Grat read.
 Very disappointed August 22, 2010
Judith T. Giles (Indianapolis)
I have read many of Nicholas Sparks' book, and feel disappointed about this one. The first part of the book is fairly interesting, and the central character, Travis, is developed well. Gabby, his love interest, does not get the same treatment by the author. She answers mostly with brief questions. After a very few hours of their first meeting, Travis thinks to himself that she makes him laugh more than any of the women he has dated before. Absolutely nothing that the author has written for Gabby to say has been at all funny. With her quick answers to everything she says to him, and his friends she meets when she goes on a picnic and boat trip with them, leads me to believe she has any sense of humor at all (none!).
Many pages are devoted to the first few days of Travis and Gabby's first meeting. Then there is a small second section of the book about their lives together, over ten years later. Quite a lot has happened, including something to Gabby, who was so poorly developed in the first section, I find it difficult to feel much of anything about her.
I think this is my least favorite book from Nicholas Sparks.
 Audio production is cluttered July 26, 2010
K. Jenkins (Virginia, USA)
This review is of the audiobook version of Nicholas Sparks's "The Choice" by Hachette Book Group. Unfortunately for the story, the audiobook production was cluttered with bizarre music in the background for select scenes. I'm not talking about a few bars at the end of the disk, but what seemed like pages of dialogue and text set to music. I'm sure it was intended to "heighten the drama" or something, but it failed utterly. Instead of being able to just listen and enjoy the story, I was forced to turn up the volume and strain to hear the words above the music.
I can't speak for everyone who listens to audiobooks, but the reason I enjoy audiobooks is not because they remind me of TV! I want my audiobooks to match the experience of reading a book as closely as possible -- no sound effects, no background music. Just a good story in a format that I can enjoy when my hands and eyes aren't free for a bound book.
