If Only It Were True

I didnt know what to expect with a free or nearly free book, but it was very good. Well written, and just all around enjoyable story of Indians coming to America. The road is always bumpy for immigrants.

This is literally the best book I have ever read. The movie did not do it justice by any means. I purchased my original copy from the dollar store many years ago, what a surprise that it was so great! I lent it to my sister and she gave it away! I purchased two copies, for both my daughter and i. This is a classic in our home.

Engaging story of being open to all possibilities. Enjoyed several other of Marc Levys novels and plan to read them all

Good Story kept my interest but predictable! Bought it to donate to my local library, I listen to books on tape while I work!

After reading, and loving, P.S. From Paris, I hurried to find another book by the same author. But, the first third of the novel felt as if someone else entirely had written it. The dialogue sounded as if it had been pulled from a first draft, and from one of a first-time writer. - wooden, terribly wordy, at times even silly. Where was the editor in all of this? And then suddenly, right at the point where the main character began to kidnap Laurens comatose body, the quality of writing changed. Description helped to pare the dialogue and ground it. The only echoes of the style of the first third of the novel were the wrenchingly lengthy speeches and letter from Arthurs mother. Again, where was the editor? The premise of the book was genial and it was that that kept me reading. And, there were moments where the connection between reader and characters was strong. But, overall, the excessive chatter made the novel so unbalanced. P.S. from Paris was masterfully written, and clearly Marc Levy has amassed a multitude of fans with other novels that they considered of high quality. I will look for those and forget the one that was rushed to print before it was ready.

Really fun book on CD to listen to. Good story line with good narration. Great memorable quotes throughout the book. I actually listened to it twice.

A fanciful story but worth believing and a great escape. Readers who enjoy romance fiction will like this. Read in one afternoon and evening!

I think the title says it all. It was hard to put the book down. A great read with a feel good finish.

This is the 3rd Marc Levy book Ive read in the past 4 days. They are unabashedly love stories, with wonderful characters I truly engaged with. On to the next book.........

I truly enjoy reading books by this author, and this one was one of my favorites. Marc Levy has a way with taking you directly into the story.
