Customer Reviews

Wonderful read, especially if you are looking for inspiration

I bought The Lost Choice because I really enjoyed the author's previous book, The Traveller's Gift. Lost Choice is even more inspirational, while Traveller's Gift provides motivational messages you can put into action. I read the first 60 pages of this book a couple of weeks ago, then misplaced it. This was quite annoying, because the plot was just getting interesting. But eventually I found it and finished it, and feel quite satisfied for the experience. Thsi is the kind of book that causes you to question yourself, and what you're doing with your life. if you prefer the unexamined life, stay away! Andrews is still coming into his own as a writer. He's become a very good story teller, but needs to mature a bit more in the difficult art of writing, characters and viewpoint in particular. Given the overall high quality of his work, I'm sure this will come. Overall, a good book, well worth reading. I hope Andrews stays with his writing-it shows great promise!

The Choice is Yours!

The Lost Choice is a compelling book that starts your wheels in motion--makes you begin to think! What choices have I made, what choices can I make? Young or old, it is not too early or too late to make a difference in your life and those around you. Because of this book, I have personally taken a look at where I am in life and decided I have a few more choices to make!With the help of this book, you can too! The choice is yours!

Amazing Mixture of History and Legend - A Must Read!

In The Lost Choice Andy Andrews weaves together history and legend to deliver a very positive, heart-warming message about the value of all human beings and the impact an individual has. His detailed historical settings and characters combined with his compelling writing makes for a real page turner.The relationship Andrews develops between the main characters of the book is appealing and draws the reader into this circle of friends. As these friends get to know and like each other more, the reader is also growing to know and like them better as well. As the main characters embark on a journey of discovery you are compelled to journey with them.As a father, I found the concept of legacy between generations that Andrews develops incredibly interesting and emotionally stirring.There are only a few books that I can honestly say "changed me", The Lost Choice is one of those books. I read it in three sittings and could barely put it down. I highly recommend it!

6 Stars

If you can imagine, the time is 3:30 AM, like in the morning, and I am reading The Lost Choice. I found the book compelling and I was unable to put it down. I particularly like not only what Andy Andrews had to write about, I liked the way he wrote it. It was extremely interesting, held my attention and conveyed a most worthwhile message. If you read his first book, The Traveler's Gift, you can understand that something you do can ultimately change the world. The Lost Choice takes it a step further. If you have a belief and then constantly ask yourself "If I truly believed what I think I believe, what would I say or do to be compliant with that belief?" If you do this and you constantly say and do things that serve a purpose, you CAN ultimately change the world. "By your hand, the world will be changed!" While this was not one of the ancient scripts described in the book, it certainly applies to Andy Andrews. By his hand, lives could be changed and should that happen, the world will be changed. How many people can say that about that which they do and say? My life has been changed by The Traveler's Gift and what I now say and do is being changed by The Lost Choice. Words would simply do an injustice as to how important I believe this book to be. If you were permitted to read only one more book in your life, it should be this book!

You will be ready and more than willing to make a difference in the world, and what a difference that can make in your life!
