What a whimisical book!,
By
This review is from: If Only It Were True (Hardcover)
This is a cute book ~~ if you're looking for something light and fluffy, then this would be the book. I managed to finish it in a day ~~ and it's a darling little book.Lauren goes into a coma after a serious car accident and months later, Arthur moves into her apartment. Just as the doctors and Lauren's mother get ready to take Lauren off the feeding tube, Arthur discovers Lauren in the apartment. Only, it's not really Lauren ~~ but her spirit. Amazed that Arthur could see her, the adventure begins. From stealing a body out of the hospital to Arthur's confrontations with his best friend to scenes in restaurants ~~ it is an entertaining book. It is a romantic ghost story. Every woman wants to be like Lauren and every woman wants Arthur to be in their lives. There isn't much substance to the book ~~ but like I said, if you're looking for a cute story, this would be it. It is well-written and Levy has a talent for describing houses (could it be that he is an architect in a former life?) ~~ among other things. Going to the beach? Then I suggest you take this book along. It's pleasant and sweet ~~ you can't beat it with the pleasures of lying in the sun and listening to the mute roar of the ocean.

Too Well Written To Be True,
This review is from: If Only It Were True (Hardcover)
When I thought of writing this review I knew I should come up with a negative about the book so the review would appear balanced, so here is what I finally came up with: Most of the characters are too nice to exist in real life. That should tell you how great a book this is. The best part is that the story ends the way it should. Not exactly the way I wanted but better than that. Already I have recommended this book to customers where I work and family and I just finished it this morning. If this story doesn't become a Julia Roberts blockbuster in the future there is no justice. If you read only one new author this year Marc levy is the one to choose!

A beautifil fantasy love story,
This review is from: If Only It Were True (Hardcover)
In a San Francisco apartment, a man hears a noise, opens up his closet, and finds a beautiful woman inside who claims she is a ghost. Arthur thinks she is either crazy or part of a practical joke. His thoughts are revised when she escorts Arthur to a nearby hospital where her comatose body lies.Arthur desperately wants to reunite her soul with her body, but his investigations prove futile. Her situation turns desperate when her distraught mother decides to pull the plug. Arthur, who is falling in love with Lauren, kidnaps her body in a last ditch effort to save her life. IF ONLY IT WERE TRUE is a beautiful love story that will appeal to fans of romance, supernatural fiction, and adult fairy tales. The hero turns into a modern day Don Quixote willing to fight windmills to save the woman he loves. The heroine has the spirit of a warrior as her mental well being allows her to accept a bleak future as long as she can enjoy today with Arthur. Marc Levy is a talented author who provides his readers with an uplifting work. Harriet Klausner
