Zackery Gresham has his life all planned. His mother is a lawyer; his father is a federal judge; and he is Pre-Law at Yale, with Harvard Law School to follow before he joins his mother’s prestigious law firm. He plans to marry his high school and Yale girlfriend once he graduates from Law School. During a school break Zack takes a once-in-a-lifetime motorcycle trip through the southern states. In New Mexico he has a chance encounter with a strange hitchhiker. The resulting chaos will bring Zack face-to-face with a choice that could alter his life forever. Reviewed by Jack Magnus for Readers' Favorite 5-stars Zack's Choice is an adventure story written by Harry E. Gilleland, Jr. Zack is having a last adventure before going back to Yale for his final year of pre-law studies. His life is planned and set out a law degree from Harvard and then a career with his mother's law firm. He's been touring the Southern states on his Harley on his way home to Portland. While Zack's parents were not at all enthusiastic about this trip, Zack stood his ground and has been having a great time. Everything changes when he stops to pick up a young hitchhiker in the deserts of New Mexico. The hitchhiker, Bobby, seems aimless and too young to be on his own, so Zack treats him to dinner and shares his motel with him. When Zack wakes up, Bobby is gone, along with Zack's wallet. Zack calls home for extra cash and continues on his trip, stopping in Las Vegas for a show and some gaming before going home. He's surprised to find Bobby walking down the street and, on apprehending him, hears a very strange story indeed. Harry E. Gilleland's contemporary fiction novel, Zack's Choice, is a first-rate adventure tale. The plot is fast-paced and very entertaining. Zack is a good boy when the reader first meets him, whose big act of rebellion from somewhat domineering parents is a summer trip on his Harley. He's already resigned to it being his last big thrill when life interrupts. Bobby's story is so crazy, yet compelling, that I was taken in as well and began to think Zack's Choice was another fiction genre altogether. There's a lot of humor as Zack blithely goes off to school, not fully realizing what he's done, and a grim peek into the legal machinery the unwary can get enmeshed in. Zack's Choice is literate, fun, and entirely unpredictable, and I enjoyed it immensely.
Zack Choice Harry E Gilleland Jr Books
This novel appealed to my bookish tooth because of several reasons. Firstly, it is a novel which involves traveling (the protagonist, Zack, wants to break free from their parents' careful planning - even if just for a short while - so he goes to New Mexico. I think that the reason why I liked this so much is that I wish I could do the same thing). Secondly, there's nice, realistic character development (flat protagonists have never been my cup of tea; luckily, when it comes to Zack, you get to see him change under the impact of his experiences). Lastly but not least, Bobby. This character plays an important role in the novel, and his friendship with Zack helps the latter one to learn more about himself.It is clear right from the title that there will be some important choice-making in the novel. Zack's dilemma will determine the readers to ask themselves what they would have chosen, had they been in the same situation. Friendship, traveling, adventure, humor, suspense - "Zack's Choice" has it all.

Zack Choice Harry E Gilleland Jr Books Reviews
I love this book so much. I always like to read stories of abuse, power, betrayal,love, and absolution. A few days ago I found this book which is one of my favorite books. When I read “Zacks choice” book, I really enjoy it. Harry Gilleland is a great author. i recommend this book. Thank you
Gilleland’s novel, ‘Zack’s Choice’ combines elements of several genres to create a compelling, intriguing and often fascinating story. Part allegory about the consequences of life choices, part crime thriller, part adventure story about a heist, part coming of age tale and part mystery, this novel is hard to categorize and has elements that will appeal to a variety of readers. We meet Zack, who thinks he has all the answers and knows where his life is heading, on a summer trip to New Mexico during college. When Zack is robbed by a hitchhiker and then accidentally runs into him again in Las Vegas, Zack is given an unbelievable account and the story is set in motion. The hitchhiker’s incredible tale sets the hero off on an adventure that has him traveling around the world, running from the police and in the process learning about himself. The story is full of twists and turns, unexpected events and a surprise ending that I didn't see coming. The novel is a fast-paced, often thrilling read. Although its main characters are young adults, readers of every age and background would find this unusual tale engrossing and hard to put down. Highly recommended.
This book is an excellent example of how our life can change in an instant, and how one decision can change or life--for good or bad. We all work hard to plan the "perfect" path in life, and live up to the expectations of our loved ones, but sometimes things don't go as planned--or are eyes are opened to other avenues we can take. This book is a true adventure, that is both thought provoking and fun!
“Zack’s Choice” was a great read. I didn’t only enjoy it because it is a complex and clever mystery/suspense novel, but also because it is a coming-of-age story, which means that the characters are very well developed and very realistic. There were a couple of twists, a bit of humor, and even some steamy scenes that made the novel even more fun to read.
My favorite character was definitely Bobby. Zack meets him in New Mexico, and the boy turns his life upside down. Even though he is younger than Zack, he is more experienced, and he introduces him to a world that is very different from the world Zack grew up in. Bobby’s story is dark, surprising, and unconventional, which makes him a very interesting and intriguing character.
I would recommend this book to anyone who likes fast-paced, character-driven stories. I think “Zack’s Choice” will keep many readers on the edge of their seats.
Zack bent caution's rules when he saw, and stopped for, the youthful hitchhiker. The slender boy looked very vulnerable, needy, standing there at the edge of the vast desert.
Bobby Smith, sixteen, seemed strangely evasive, rather than grateful. He left early the next morning with Zack's cash, credit cards, and cell phone. This was to be Zack's once in a lifetime Harley bike ride. He was a Yale man destined for law school. Zack found Bobby again, in Vegas, oddly still in possession of all his valuables.
Frightened, Bobby declared himself to be, "The Chosen One." The one chosen to defeat powers of evil and save the world. Later, Zack decided that the kid had serious reality issues. Bobby wove an intricate tale to backup his intentions. He told Zack about the Sword of Damascus and drew Zack into his plans to steal the valuable.museum relic. It was worth three hundred million.
This book is about a journey, fatal encounters, and life altering consequences from abrupt detours.
The two head for California. Later, to Europe, for entangling, hair raising adventures. Why does Zack believe Bobby? Why does he go along with these unpredictable, madcap adventures? Has Zack' s life lacked luster sparks? Does he have the soul of a villain, a thief? Is this just the last fling before knuckling down to a staid, responsible life?
This story unravels another crazy turn. The misdirection was harmless. Questions need answers. Why do we do crazy, irresponsible, life altering things? Is there an underlying design, a crazy quilt pattern for youth to sprinkle seeds among the stars? Harry E. Gilliland, Jr weaves delicate possibilities. His imagination soars on wide wings.
This novel appealed to my bookish tooth because of several reasons.
