I've read plenty of books by Nicholas Sparks. I've loved most of those books. I, for some reason couldn't get through Message in a Bottle, but I am considering giving that one another go. I was quite a bit younger when I tried to read that one. Last night I finished reading The Choice. It didn't take me very long to read. At just over 250 pages, it ranks among the shorter books I've read lately. However, I never felt like the book left the ground. It put down some interesting ground work, but the plot never picked up. Sure, there were some emotional moments, but I didn't feel the typical heartstring tugs that Nicholas Sparks usually invokes. Most of his books have, at some point, left me absolutely sobbing. I read his books expecting a good cry or at least a palpable connection to the characters, but I just didn't get that from this book. I wish I could say that I really enjoyed it, but I don't like to lie. Unfortunately, this book has made it into my "to sell" stack. (Yeah, another stack).
This morning I sunk my teeth (pardon the pun) into the first few chapters of The Van Alen Legacy by Melissa de la Cruz. I've enjoyed the other books in the Blue Bloods series very much, and I hope I enjoy this one just as much. I find this incarnation of the vampire myth to be very interesting.
