Book Review: The Choice

*ehem*

Okay, it has been such a long time since I last made a book review. Ya, I am a book freak and eventhough my house is on fire pun I still can't stop reading unless someone jerit "api!!api!!!"yes..to that extend...gila kan??Ya, I am crazy when it comes to books even abg Ronaldo says "hi" pun I won't even care..*so menipu* LOL

Bercakap tentang books, I am a big fan of too many authors but currently I am so into Nicholas Sparks. I bet to those who watched "A walk to remember" or "The Notebook" , they sure know what kind of books he usually wrote. What I like the most about Nicholas is the way he tells stories through his books. Most typical novelist would actually wrote such a typical fairy tale where everything are eventually end up in happy ending. Where as, when it comes to Nicholas...most of his novels are actually based on true events with a little twist. You know right, we live in a life where not all things end up good, what's matter the most is how you live your life not how you end your life. Everybody are going to end up dead right and nothing so beautiful about death except memories. So, that is how Nicholas wrote his books. To those yg rasa-rasa nak learn about life, you should read his books. And yes, you might cry too...because I did..ya..typical me..HATI KACA.

Okay enough ramblings, let us proceed to the book review.

The Choice is a story about a guy named Travis Baker. Typical guy with a good looks, a nice job, living in a nice house. He is the type of guy who does not believe in marriage. He sees himself as a confirm bachelor where he can't really commit himself or tie himself in a marriage. He does have few girlfriends but he can't commit with them. Most women would say that he is inferior. Until one day...

Then, a new neighbor arrived, her name is Gabby Holland. She is a sweet girl who just try to make a living on her own without being dependent on her parent. She has a steady Boyfriend named Kevin. She has been thinking about marriage with Kevin but unfortunately, it seems that Kevin value his work far more than their relationship. She thinks that they are compatible therefore she is ready to wait for him.

Both of them are not actually start things off good since they did encounter few domestic issues. But somehow they manage to work it out. So they start being friends and start being neighborly especially Travis since he thinks that he is attracted to Gabby. At first he thought that it was just a typical attraction between them. Gabby felt it as well but since she has a boyfriend so she try to be professional about it.

When you are in love there are nothing professional about it. Feelings is something you can't control and that's what happened between Travis and Gabby. They fall in love and Gabby realized that she needs to clear things up with Kevin.

They eventually end up married and have a two beautiful daughters. When you think that everything is okay somehow there will be a turning point in your life where again you are going to face such a difficult moment.

One day, Travis and Gabby encounter an accident which Gabby has been badly injured and turn into coma for more than 6months. By then, Travis again need to make such a difficult choice in order to move on his life and to face such difficulties knowing that he might lost Gabby for the rest of his life.

Okay, to know more about the book, kindly download ebook dia or you can buy it in any nearest bookstores. I bet you are going to cry since I did cried as well..LOL~

I do think that what you will learn from this book is about making choices. Just like my post on "The Choice". In life we will encounter too many choices to be choose. I know, it is hard to make choices when your heart or your life are at stake. Choices are easy to say but hard to be made. Gabby has to choose between Kevin and Travis. She end up choosing Travis since she knows that she are in love with Travis not Kevin. Ya, I bet everybody know, love is complicated. We might think that we are in love with A, but somehow when B came, we end up falling in love with him. WHY??Well, that is love my friend. Define love...that is why people said that love is complicated. One can never know what love is. Personally, I do not have any clue about it, but I do know how it felt.

To manusia yg rasa hendak belajar tentang love, you better read Nicholas Spark's novels. Not that you will be absolutely understand love but at least you get the ideas of love in life. Tahu kan..love itu bukannya datang senang2..one will have to face too many kind of hindrance before he or she find the love of his/her life. Sebab itu kita perlu sabar.

I am learning about sabar lately...;)
