Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Bestselling author Andrews (The Traveler's Gift) takes a cue from the success of his previous book, built around time travel, motivational ideas and historical figures, and continues in the same vein. When Mark and Dorry Chandler find an odd bronze object in a ditch in their Denver backyard, they begin to investigate its origin. Andrews develops the theme of the importance of making good choices, using the motif of four inscribed ancient bronze objects that together form a cup. Each fragment symbolizes choices that its historic owner made, influenced by the object. Using flashbacks, Andrews offers numerous short vignettes of the different historical figures who possessed each of the fragments, including Oskar Schindler, Alfred Vanderbilt, John Adams and George Washington Carver among others. The flashbacks are simply presented, and they often have the feel of fictional minibiographies for young readers rather than meaty adult fare. There's nothing particularly compelling about the storytelling—the mechanics of fiction are creaky in places—but that's not the point. Rather, the book stands on the positive message that one person by his or her decisions can change the world. As he did in The Traveler's Gift, Andrews should appeal to those readers looking for an uncomplicated motivational read with a dollop of history thrown in for good measure.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Choice is Yours!, July 16, 2004
By sarah (Salem, SC) - See all my reviews
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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Andy Andrews Book is a Life Changing Experience, June 25, 2004
By Philip B. Capelle (huntington beach, ca USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I felt like an magical force lead me across the floor of the local bookstore and right to this book. I had read The Travelers Gift, which is awesome, so I figured Andy Andrews new book was likely a must read. A picked it up, read some of the quotes and a voice in my head said "buy it." I'm glad I did. While anytime is the right to read this book, the timing for me couldn't have been better. I am about to make some choices regarding my business that have had me stumped for quite some time. After reading this book, the fog cleared and I now know the direction in which I wish to go.

I must warn you that this book will move you and shake you. And you could erupt at any moment into tears - of joy. You better get ready for a new life - this is very powerful stuff. In fact, I would find it impossible for you to read this and not be changed - in a very good way.

While reading the book you will have a profound respect for human potential - particularly yours. 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! The power is truly within you, and you will come to know it just in case you've had any doubts.

Andy has a special gift for storytelling which makes this book both an enjoyable and inspirational learning experience. I give this book my highest recommendation. Don't wait. Buy this book and let Andy Andrews moving story change your life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Mixture of History and Legend - A Must Read!, July 12, 2004
By Frank Chisholm (Kitchener, ON) - See all my reviews
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!
