“How far should a person go in the name of love” (Sparks 255)? This question was the basis for Nicholas Spark's book, The Choice, published by Grand Central Publishing in 2007. This fiction novel was written for young adults. It is one of countless books that Nicholas Sparks has written, such as The Notebook, A Walk to Remember, and Safe Haven. The Choice is a structured novel, keeping the reader engaged with its complex descriptions of characters and setting. An adventure-seeking man from a small town in Beaufort, North Carolina, would describe Travis Parker accurately. Travis never really wanted to settle down and forget the lifestyle he had at thirty-two because he had exactly what he wanted. However, all that would change when a new neighbor, Gabby Holland, moved in. Gabby Holland, a goal setter who worked hard to achieve anything, grew up with her mother's intention to be a woman; however, Gabby had always followed in her father's footsteps of freedom. She always wanted adventure, but never had the chance to experience it. With luck, she had convinced her parents to let her attend PA school to assist in surgeries. There she had met her boyfriend, Kevin. Gabby's plans had changed due to a doctor's bribery, so Gabby ended up working at a pediatric office as a physician's assistant. These neighbors meet more by fault than by choice. Gabby hated her neighbor for a while because of his loud music; What really made her confront her neighbor was that she had assumed that her purebred collie, Molly, was pregnant. One night, she made her way to Travis' house through hedges. Concentrated as she was on her mission, she did not notice that the tennis ball was flying towards her right in the middle of a sheet of paper.... ..ry. Her mouth had a tight, pursed look that he had seen on many girlfriends” (Sparks 25). It tells how Gabby felt, what she looked like, and a bit of Travis' background. Gabby and Travis had a visionary picnic, as the author puts it, on “…a large grassy field near the end of the block. The empty lot bordered on one side a weathered Georgian building that was at least a hundred years old and on the other an equally old Victorian building…” (Sparks 156). From these examples, it is obvious to see the author's meticulous descriptions. This novel has structured content exposing effective sentence patterns and vocabulary. From this and other events that occur in the book, the reader is prompted to finish. In conclusion, the author provided wonderful details about the characters and setting.
