Product Description

Product Description

Lose your heart to the novel that defined a generation then...and now.

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.



Ingram

The story of a rich Harvard jock and a wisecracking Radcliffe music major who have nothing in common but love . . . and everything to share but time. Over 21 million copies of Love Story have been sold in 33 languages. --This text refers to the Library Binding edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not based on Al Gore, Jul 16 2004
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, May 12 2004
This review is from: Love Story (Paperback)
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,

5.0 out of 5 stars Why Love Story Gets Five Stars, May 11 2004
By MZ (Novinger, MO United States) - See all my reviews
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars The One that Started It All
"Love Story" by Erich Segal shamelessly follows a well-known, Shakespearean-esque plot involving two star-crossed lovers separated by tragedy. The catch? Read more
