4.0 out of 5 stars
Not based on Al Gore,
This review is from: Love Story (Mass Market Paperback)
nor in fact, on Tommy Lee Jones! although they were in a class together at uni at a time when segal was a professor there. in fact reading meaning into this one is probably asking too much of it. "love means not ever having to say you are sorry". this line made the book and the film famous, but does it really mean anything? not according to the author. this should not detract from the positive qualities in evidence here. short, well structured, extremely well focused and engaging, not to mention fluently written are all accurate descriptions. Unashamedly a tear-jerker would be my only negative comment, but then again i suppose it is what it is..... the film has dated somewhat, but i believe the book remains as fresh and as wonderful as it was when first released...
4.0 out of 5 stars
VERY MOVING,

I ENJOYED READING THIS A WHILE BACK - I STILL HAVE IT.BUT I HEARD A COMMENT THAT THIS STORY WAS BASED ON OUR FORMER VICE PRESIDENT AL GORE'S PERSONAL EXPERIENCE. IS IT TRUE- PLEASE VERIFY. THANK YOU,

Why Love Story Gets Five Stars,
By MZ (Minnesota) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Love Story (Mass Market Paperback)
If I really like a book, I will read it twice. But three times, four, five...just doesn't happen very often. I've read Love Story over and over, and it never loses that impression it made on me during my first reading.You don't have to be as rich or as high-rolling as Oliver Barrett to understand what it means to love Jenny. Everyone has felt -- or has hoped to feel -- the way he does. That Segal was able to compress so much emotion into so few pages is the ultimate feat. And every time I read Love Story, I find myself praying it will have a different ending, no matter what it says in those first few paragraphs. This little book is so powerful. It is a good reminder of why we live and why we love.
