Love Story, by Erich Segal, is a book about two people who have nothing in common but love. I would rank this book 4 out of 5 stars.This book contains 144 pages. I like this book because it talks about young people who fall in love and face obstacles in their relationship in order to be happy. This book is about a jock and Radcliffe music major, who first meet in a library. Later on in the story, but start to talk and fall in love and decide to get married. Unfortunately, Jenny is rushed to the hospital because she has cancer and Oliver is by her side. In the end, Jenny dies, and Oliver cries because he can’t believe someone he truly loves is dead. I would recommend this book to people who fall in love with each other and need to face obstacles in order to be happy as a couple. ( )

It has been a long time since I was able to pick up a book and read it in a day (not necessarily a lack of shorter novellas in my library, but a lack of peace in the household and the freedom to just read). Love Story by Erich Segal broke my streak of 3 weeks spans between book completions.

Yes, it is a story of love, and I am a chick and cried at the end. But not only is it filled with pain, it is filled with a true sense of love that makes the pain that much more difficult to bear. Given that the opening line of the novel is a huge spoiler to the rest of the story, and that within the last 20 pages, it is obvious what the ending will entail. I still found myself completely wrapped up in Oliver and Jenny's love, their banter with one another, though. ( )

really short book but really wonderful book about love. i cried at the end. ( )

Tear-jerker. ( )

Mildly agreeable, highly popular bittersweet college romance; reading it in Korea long after its initial burst of popularity, I was more struck by the emphasis on the hero's bad relationship with his father rather than his relationship with the heroine. ( )
