If you want a book that will make you cry from both happiness and sadness this is it. This book not only makes you believe in true love but see the heart breaking challenges of love as well. Nicholas Sparks is known for his tear-jerking romance novels and this book does not disappoint. One word of advice though; you may think you know why it is titled "The Choice" but you wont until you read it.

As usual Doctorow makes you think. This novel deals with a world where the division between the have and have nots has become insurmountable. It really had a very slow start though. The characters seemed whiney and aimless. The plot seemed to have little direction. This changed a little over halfway through the book when the pieces all began to fit togther. At this point the book began to become recognizable as a Doctorow book making political commentary and making the reader think. Best advice is do not give up on this book.
