Book 3 Review

The Choice by Nicholas Sparks is romance novel that touches the readers heart. From the beginning you know they will fall in love. They are so different that they are kind of the same. Nicholas Sparks wrote this book with pure passion. He has wrote several Romance novels and has the special touch to just make them hit you right on your soft side. This book wasn't one of his best but it was alright.

In this book Sparks narrates the story. At times it is annoying when he adds in his own voice but at other times it is nice to jump around to other characters and see what is going on with them. When he does talk about the characters though you dont understand what they are fully feeling. You get the jist of what the feel but you dont get details that you would get in first person.

In the story you automatically know the two main characters (Gabby and Travis) are going to fall in love and after what is equivilent to two days they do fall in love. And after the are in love the next thing you know they are happily married for 11 years and even have children. Gabby has to break up with who she thought was the love of her life for Travis. Travis gives up his plans of being single forever with the occaional hook up. At points it seems to good to be true. Considering how fast they fall in love it feels unrealistic. After a major scene in the plot occurs Travis is left with a conflict. He must make a crucial choice.

Gabby is an unlikable character at first. She has a bad attitude and holds a very strange grudge on Travis even though he didnt do anything but help. After a while her character grows on the reader and becomes more likable. Her attitude becomes funny and makes her characters personality special. Travis is a very likable charcter throughout the entire book he always tries to help and make others happy. He always makes the right decisions and has a charming sense of humor.

I would rate this book 3 stars. It was an okay book but the amount of unrealistic scenes ruins the realness of the book. It dissapoints the reader to know that it is very unlikely to play out that way in real life.
