As I am sure is true for most men, with the exception of Romeo and Juliet, I’d never read a ‘love story’. I always assumed this was a strictly women’s territory. I was wrong. I loved it.

I wouldn’t mind being liberated by Jocelyn anytime. Only, the way she does it would enslave me to her forever. This is one of those rare books which, while being overwhelmingly romantic, elevates the concept of love between a man and a woman to an entirely new level.

5 stars from Bozena H.
I read this book in proof-copy form. I loved it then, and I love it now. I wish Stan Law would write more romances. He is one of very few writers who can write a great love story without sinking to the level of “hot, dark, steaming, sex-driven, award-winning erotica”, so adored by frustrated virgins and old maids. If you are neither, you’ll love it. What a wonderful change!

5 stars from Bohdan
I don’t normally read romances, but, well, this is Stan Law. I didn’t regret it. His literary journey of self-discovery and gradual unfolding is peppered with scathing humor directed at the self-important upper crust of municipal establishment. The story is moving, engrossing, humorous, and impregnated with the author’s obvious love of classical music. His Symphonic Poem 'sounds' sublime. A delight to read.

Marvin Clark is a wondrous story of love between an older introverted dreamer and a gifted artist. Both learn from each other to love and to develop their unique talents.
The characters are finely drawn; flashes of humour are provided by redoubtable Mrs Prentis- an universal aunt.
Romance slowly coming to the boil, intellectual delight and there is mystery about a piece of music!
I read it in one sitting!

I’m so glad Stan Law decided to write a Love Story. In all the sleazy, pseudo-romantic, erotic stuff regurgitated by frustrated has-beens that is flooding the market, this Love Story is like a breath of fresh air. Loved every minute of it. And… laughed a lot! Keep them coming, Mr. Law.

5 stars from Hanna on Jan. 05, 2011 :
I loved every page of it. I also laughed a lot. This is a side of Stan Law I never met before. I hope he’ll write more love stories. Jocelyn is a wonderful character, and Marvin’s brooding passion is fascinating.
