Book: All Those Things We Never Said by Marc Levy (Published in Canada in 2010, and the U.S. 2012.) Translation by Chris Murray
Here is Publisher’s Weekly review of Marc Levy’s first novel, If Only It Were True, (YA (Young Adult). The movie, called Just Like Heaven, starred Reese Witherspoon. Here’s part of the book review of Levy’s first book:
This is the book, by a French architect based in San Francisco, that made a huge Hollywood deal, and then a seven-figure sale to Pocket Books. It’s an interesting study in the difference between a movie concept and a novel. One can imagine it as an offbeat romantic comedy on the screen, with charismatic actors and some nifty special effects, but as a book it’s slight and one-dimensional–and it doesn’t help that Levy has no ear whatsoever for American speech patterns.
