Love Story
Love means never having to say you're sorry...
He is Oliver Barrett IV, a rich jock from a stuffy WASP family on his way to a Harvard degree and a career in law.
She is Jenny Cavilleri, a wisecracking, working-class beauty studying music at Radcliffe.
Opposites in nearly every way, Oliver and Jenny immediately attract, sharing a love that defies everything ... yet will end too soon. A love that will linger in your heart now and forever.

How many writers can do this? To write with such power and gave real life to his characters only through dialog, without any nonsense in character description, interior monologue, and situation description that easily takes hundreds of pages that is common for most of the other big-name writers.
This 120 page short novel made me laugh many times during the reading, and when I finished it, I had tears in my eyes, and that is rare for me. If all writers can adopt Erich Segal' style, millions ... Read More

Ever since it was first published, "Love Story" has been lambasted and ridiculed by both critics and self-proclaimed literati as mindless fluff. Such criticism is as short-sighted as it is unfair.
Segal's book (reputed to be a novelization of his screenplay)is deceptive. To be sure, there's nothing very new about the story of a man's love for a doomed woman and his ambivalence about his father (perhaps the real love story in the piece). The writing itself is simple and direct. The book is short ... Read More

I saw glimpses of romanticism in Love Story, but nothing memorable. I felt the book was hurt most by its short length which was paralleled by a somewhat fast pace.

The most complex dialogue is between Oliver and his father, not Oliver and Jenny, puzzling for a love story. Due to its short length and limited dialogue I ... Read More

I have to admit i am not a real book reader and when i got this book for a birthday gift i was highly tempted to return it. I am so glad that i didn't because i picked this book up yesterday and started reading it and i finished it the next night. It is one of those books that once you put down you want to know what happens next. It's a adorable love story and very sad at the same time. I recommend this book to anyone looking for a cute little love story, but be prepared to get teary eyed at the end.

Love Story by Erich Segal is a wonderfully entertaining story about to complete opposites who fall head over heels in love. Oliver Barett the IV is a Harvard law student from a wealthy family of jocks and lawyers. Jenny Cavilleri is working class music student studying Radcliffe. This unexpected pair takes a journey that teaches them that "love means never having to say your sorry."
Oliver likes to study at he Radcliffe library where it is quiet and no one knows him. At he library Oliver meets ... Read More
