Now Travis will stop at nothing to be with her. After all his pursuits he finally wins her over, but when the unthinkable happens Travis must once again make a choice that will affect both of their lives forever. Going in to this I was not excited at all. In the Notebook the main guy builds the woman he is obsessed with a house. In The Lucky One within a week of meeting the girl he fixes her car, boat and teaches her son to play baseball.

It is hard for me to get past the perfect man image that is portrayed and they really lose me. Again, being a guy I am not the target audience for these movies. All that said this was, to me, the best of all the movies made from his books. The characters were actually real and believable. There were no over the top scenes and I was actually into this movie more than I expected. Without ruining anything, the ending did get over the top cheesy for me and lost me a little, but since this is a chick flick that is to be expected.

Overall, it could have been because of my expectations but this was not a bad movie at all and is a date night movie women will love and men will be able to watch without too much pain. I surprisingly, extremely surprisingly, give this an A-. Start your free trial.

I've noticed that Nicholas Sparks' books tend to be sad. Is this one sad? Bridgot For the most part I didn't think so but there were some parts that I thought were sad, but it's has a happy ending: Is there a sequel to this book? If not, is there going to be? Sharon Unfortunately not, because Nicholas Sparks doesn't usually do sequels. The …more Unfortunately not, because Nicholas Sparks doesn't usually do sequels.

Loved this book, and as all of his books this is unpredictable with a really happy ending. I loved this book and again provided me with lots of warm fuzzy, even the odd tear was shed moments. It sweeps you up into fantasy situation where you can easily loose touch with reality. A great escape from life's mundane events. View all 5 comments. Sparks, All my life I believed in order for a wonderful marriage all you needed was true love.

And now, knowing that for a relationship to work it needs much more then love, reading your books is honestly quite pathetic and sad. All your books are the same, have you ever thought about writing a book that doesn't involve two people falling in love over the course of twenty-four hours?

This is going to sound insane, but she thought way to much. The first half of this book is her just thinking She just goes on and on and on about any and everything!!!!

Then on top of her babbling she was obsessed with making it crystal clear that she had a boyfriend. Hey having a party at my house would you like to come- I have a boyfriend.

Hi how are you- I have a boyfriend What time is it- I have a boyfriend What color is the sky- I have a boyfriend. Shut the F up about how you have a boyfriend!

I like my characters with flaws and he legit has none. Oh and boy does he ooze of charm. Yeah, I'll give it to him, he has a few very silly cute moments. However all his perfections overshadowed all. I did prefer Travis to Gabby, but I don't really know what that says.

The relationship between the two is soooooooooo unrealistic. Sparks you have your two main characters fall in love in one weekend!!!! I'm not saying that this would be impossible for an author to do what I'm saying is that you are going to have to do it up You are going to have to pull out all the stops; stops that aren't even invented yet! Good sir, when you make a book pages it's a sprint not a marathon. I'm talking that can't eat-can't sleep-reach for the stars-over the fence world series kind of magic. We don't have time for you to waste on all this pointless backstory BS.

Having these characters falling in love over a weekend would mean you would have to have us fall in love with them being in love in a matter of pages I gave no Fs about these two being together Which leads me to the plot. There really isn't much plot to talk about because nothing happens. This book puts all its eggs in the basket that is a coma. I'm sure by now you've all seen the trailers for this movie So you know home girl gets in an accident Which makes it very clear that the choice will be that he has to either A pull the plug or B not.

I wont tell you what he chooses to do, but I really don't have to. I was so annoyed by how everything went that I was praying to the book gods to just have Gabby die! Live-die, Gabby gonna be real with you I just don't care!!! Actually you know what, just die, it's cool. I was told over and over again by several people that that none of this would matter.

That by the end I would still be a blubbering mess I did not shed a single tear. I cry in almost every book but didn't in this one! I think that really says something. I was just to busy being angry to be upset. Nick Sparks needs to re-evaluate his writing. This is a story he has done time and time again. Wealthy white people fall in love, someone ends up in the hospital, but in the long run it all works out for them Yeah its just a no!

We are not on good terms Nick. I was way easier on this book than I planned on being review wise I toned it down, which I know in the long run I'll regret doing. Oh and If at this point you're still wondering if I'll be seeing this movie or not?!?!?! Well you can bet your sweet buns I am. I'm actually still pretty pumped about it. View all 28 comments. The Choice has assured I will never read another Nicholas Sparks book. I found this novel to be a long-winded, tedious waste of time.

And I got really irritated with his lack of research. If you are going to write about a dog whelping — get your facts right. If you are going to write about comatose people — get your facts right. Oh yeah, and if your leading lady is an accomplished P. If you want a romance novel, a Harlequin writer could have told this story in a third the pages, on a higher reading level and probably have added some needed passion to it. View all 22 comments. Did you have as many problems with it as I did?

First of all Gabby is in a committed relationship and even though its not a perfect one, its not terrible and they're in love. And they had to say in like the stupidest way possible! And she cheats on her boyfriend by sleeping with Travis ever spare minute she has for like five days. Later in the book Gabby goes in a coma. Travis has a written document that's signed by Gabby saying if she's in a coma for more than twelve weeks with no sign of recovery whatsoever, she basically wants to be taken off life support. Then it comes to that time and you know what Travis does?

That just mad me so mad. And later when she wakes up of course you have to have a perfect, unrealistic ending she doesn't even bring it up. She doesn't even care that he didn't follow her wishes. And a lot of the time when people wake up from long term comas, something is different about them. Like maybe their memory is a little messed up or their personality has changed. The last thing that bothered me is that he literally went around asking people and himself 'How far will you go in the name of love?

What does that even mean? And anyway it's not going 'in the name of love' if you break somebody's trust and wishes. Does anybody else understand what I'm getting at? View all 10 comments.

I should preface this review by saying that The Choice was a really thoughtful Christmas gift from my little brother, Darren. I'm glad I read it, as I've been curious about the Nicholas Sparks following at least among a certain, um, demographic. Sparks' writing style is also clear, it's an absurdly fast read, and I'd be lying if I claimed the storyline didn't occasionally leave me a bit verklempt. That, however, is where my praise for The Choice ends.

First, the characters in this book were rid I should preface this review by saying that The Choice was a really thoughtful Christmas gift from my little brother, Darren. First, the characters in this book were ridiculous. Usually I rail against the media's unrealistic portrayal of women, but the male protagonist in this novel was truly beyond the pale. This man had not ONE character flaw unless blind, unadulterated devotion to the woman he worships counts. There either must be something terribly wrong with me and my empathy skills, or there is something wrong with this book. I'm sorry, Nicholas Sparks fans.

I do enjoy a good fluff-filled love story, and I'm a big fan of certain types of fantasy hooray, Harry Potter. This was just too much. Maybe The Choice would make a better screenplay; I thoroughly enjoyed the cinematic Notebook, after all. View all 15 comments. Tiene su dosis de drama, pero es un drama real, de pie de calle, el que le puede pasar a todo el mundo. No es un drama gratuito y de telenovelas como hay en otros libros suyos. Travis es un personaje muy logrado, lleno de miedos e inseguridades, pero decidido y valiente a la hora de luchar por lo que quiere.

Jan 11, Rebekah rated it liked it Shelves: But I had to ask a friend if it had a happy ending or a sad one, cause I wanted to be prepared going into it. I usually don't do that but with this author, you just never know! I loved Travis as a character. He seemed genuinely nice and care-free. I felt that he was a guy enjoyed the pleasures of the world especially when it came to women.

He wants to one day settle down but hadn't found review found at: He wants to one day settle down but hadn't found a woman that really made him feel different when it came to love. I had a hard time liking her. I felt like she was a bit whiney. I think I understand what the author was trying to convey with this character but she bothered me. I found myself rolling my eyes a lot. When I finally saw the movie I liked movie-Gabby better than book-Gabby. Especially in how Gabby and Travis got together. I felt like it almost glorified cheating.

Gabby has a boyfriend. A boyfriend she is waiting and hoping will propose. But the author does a great just job of showing that actions are taken with first the thought. What I mean by that is, every step Gabby took towards Travis was a very conscious decision. He had a very romantic weekend with Travis and all of a sudden Gabby and Travis know they are meant to be together.

Now I understand that as soon as Gabby chose Travis she quickly ended it with her boyfriend but it still doesn't excuse in my mind that she cheated I loved the turn of events and the choices that had to be made throughout the whole book, before the ultimate relationship between Gabby and Travis and afterwards.

It was really sweet-the afterwards. I really enjoyed this story. Despite my mixed feelings about Gabby being in a relationship when she got together with Travis.
