The Choice

De: Robert Whitlow

Narrado por: Heath McClure

One young woman. Two very different roads. The choice will change everything.

Even as a pregnant, unwed teen in 1974, Sandy Lincoln wanted to do the right thing. But when an ageless woman approached her in a convenience store with a mysterious prophecy and a warning, doing the right thing became even more unclear. She made the best choice she could...and has lived with the consequences.

More than 30 years later, a pregnant teen has come into her life, and Sandy’s long-ago decision has come back to haunt her. The stakes rise quickly, leaving Sandy with split seconds to choose once more. But will her choice decision bring life... or death?

Reseñas de la Crítica

" The Choice shows the struggles of unplanned pregnancy and the courageous act of adoption in a way that I haven't read before...." (Abby Brannam-Johnson, former Planned Parenthood Director and author of Unplanned)

Horrible Narrator!

Robert Whitlow is a great author - his stories always are filled with great story components. However, Heath McClure is one of the WORST narrators that I've ever heard.

Because I like Whitlow stories, I'll probably listen to the rest of his books - but I'm afraid I'll have to suffer through Heath McClure's reading.

McClure's narrating has almost no infection, no character variation, and hardly no feeling. I cannot understand why Whitlow chose this narrator for so many of his books.

Robert, if you want your books to be recommended, trash these audio versions and have them re-read by a REALLY GOOD narrator.

Story good but narration awful

Would you listen to The Choice again? Why?

No, the narration was the worst I have ever heard. It sounded like the narrator was reading to a 3 year old. There was no affectation and he read in a sing song rhythm.

Great Twist in this story

Would you listen to The Choice again? Why?

I'm not a fan of the narrator. However, I liked the story, it had a few good twists.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Choice?

The blue - eyed old woman who spoke to young Sandy about her children

What aspect of Heath McClure’s performance would you have changed?

All of it. I didn't like his pacing.

Great topic.

Great story

Really enjoyed listening to this book and the story that it entailed. Having never been able to have children and always being interested in adoption, I loved the feeling I received when listening to this story of hope and redemption.

Another Excellent Book by Robert Whitlow

I discovered Robert Whitlow books about five months ago and each and every book is EXCELLENT and well written! it is VERY refreshing to read a book that does not have bad language and sex! His books keep you in suspense because they are not predictable. I hope he continues to write for many years. This particular book presented several options that women face if they get pregnant out of wedlock. And it represented the strong feelings associated with these options. This is a well written, fictional book, that will make one think about life choices.

great story, narrator - not so much

Any additional comments?

If the story hadn't been so good, I would have given up on the narrator before the 5th chapter....

This is a great story.

I like the story's topic and found myself wiping a few tears. The narrator doesn't try to do characterization but has great expression and is easy to listen to..

Tough Topic Great Story

Well told story of a pregnant teenager, consequences, and outcomes.
I loved the Christian theme throughout as well.
