Akin to Hunger Games, the Choosing is a book full of action, danger, intrigue and even romance too.  There is a great war and the kingdom requires gifted young individuals to represent it in the coming battle.  Thus, the Choosing Ceremony is set to take place in a short time.Now of age to attend the Choosing Ceremony, Seth and Garrett, raised as twins, are about to embark on a journey that will undoubtedly change the course of their young lives.  Along with another young man, Ashton, they begin the long trek to the capitol city, where they will be chosen to serve the gods as their gifts have predestined them.  Garrett and their new friend Ashton, are both confident and anxious to move in to the roles they feel called to fulfill.Seth, unlike his brother, however, has no plans of grandeur or glory and yet one god has other plans for him.Early on in their journey, Sara is thrown into their lives and perhaps intentionally, as part of some god's grand plan, and her life, her future and her heart become deeply intertwined with Seth's.Mr. Laszlo has done a wonderful job bringing this story to life.  These characters are fun, adventurous and despite the unknown ahead, have forged a friendship that is worthy of envy.  I could not stop reading.  I felt my heart racing, my stomach lurching and my heart swooning throughout the entire book.  To me, that is an EXCELLENT read!  I am going to find a way to get book #2 and then #3 because I want more!  =)
