This is Richard¹s assistant. I want to respond to those who are reviewing"If Only" and calling it a scam. "Grace" the award winning book nowre-released as "If Only", was brought back out because of Richard¹smyriads of new Young Adult fans from the Michael Vey series who hadnever heard of Grace since it was released several years beforeRichard wrote the Michael Vey series. In many ways Grace is more ofa Young Adult novel than an Adult novel, especially since theprotagonist in the book is a sixteen-year-old young woman. I havereceived many heart-felt emails and mail from Richard's readerssharing how "Grace" has made a difference in their teen daughter's lives. Thetitle, "If Only" comes from a poem in the book. I feel "If Only" has a verystrong and positive message for the young people. I would like to thankRichard for caring enough to re-release this book for a younger generationto enjoy and to help them through tough times knowing they are not alone.
I read the book and couldn't put it down. I am 75 years old and still loved it. I have enjoyed all of Richard Paul Evans books. I haven't read the prisioner books but I have read pretty much everything else. I give it 5 stars.
Excellent decision making here!!! As a mother of a 14 year old daughter and employee at my local library I can tell you first hand that this book is a new favorite among the young adult readers. It is just as compelling as "Fault in Our Stars" if not more so. I have been a fan of Mr. Evans since his first book and now I am able to share his remarkable story telling with my daughter through this book. I hope he continues to write for YA as he has a true talent for it.
I read "Grace" several years ago. My daughter is now reading the Michael Vey Series. She will love the book as much as I did no matter what the title.
Richard Paul Evans is my favorite author. They are very appropriate for advanced reading children. Always shows up in great condition because always packed so well. I love the fact that they arrive a lot sooner than expected. Looking for a new author...here he is!
Have all of the Richard Paul Evans books love his writing and is nice as soon as my husband gets notice when his new book is being released he orders it for me. I highly recommend it light reading and almost always a beautiful love story.
I didn't like this book after I got through a few pages--but I read it anyway - I disliked it even more when I got to the end of the story. It was definitely not a "cant stop reading this book" book. I will pass this on to someone and not kep it.
This is a Christmas gift. We enjoy this author
