All of his books have been New York Times bestsellers, with over 105 million copies sold worldwide, in more than 50 languages, including over 75 million copies in the United States alone. See for yourself how The Choice and The Notebook stack up: here are some of the ways in which they're alike. Nicholas Sparks is one of the world’s most beloved storytellers. But their similarities run deeper than that, which makes sense given that Sparks himself writes on his website that he was inspired to write The Choice because there was "something magical" about The Notebook, and he wanted to capture "at least a bit of that magic once more." It's interesting to me that the author made the decision to write the later novel after the movie adaptation of The Notebook had been released and was a success, but evidently Hollywood still thought The Choice was original enough to warrant its own adaptation. The two movies fall into the same general Sparks formula in that they both have the following elements: white, heterosexual protagonists an intense romantic relationship with a healthy dose of bickering a small Southern town as the backdrop and a tragic medical issue.
If you didn't already guess based off the trailer, The Choice and The Notebookare two peas in a (very depressing) pod. And while it's similar in that way to many Sparks works, it's actually eerily close to one previous book and movie by the author in particular. The films based on his books, like the novels themselves, all tell stories of young, idealized love, and Sparks' newest adaptation, The Choice, is no exception.
Nicholas Sparks is an author that you either love or hate, thanks to his passion for romances that end in disaster.
