Relation During Books Love Story (Love Story #1)
Oliver Barrett IV, a wealthy jock from a stuffy WASP family on his way to a Harvard degree and a career in law . . . Jenny Cavilleri, a sharp-tongued, working-class beauty studying music at Radcliffe . . .Opposites in nearly every way, Oliver and Jenny are kindred spirits from vastly different worlds. Falling deeply and powerfully, their attraction to one another defies everything they have ever believed—as they share a passion far greater than anything they dreamed possible . . . and explore the wonder of a love that must end too soon.
One of the most adored novels of our time, this is the book that defined a generation—a story of uncompromising devotion, of life as it really is . . . and love that changes everything.

Okay. So expectedly I cried, especially in the end part where tragedy has to happen. Add to that my former knowledge of this as a tragic one and the flashing introductory warning of "What can you say about a twenty-five-year old girl who died?". It was inevitably tragic. But the conciseness, simplicity and realistic profoundness of every part of this book brought me more to be drawn to this. There's nothing more genuine and wonderful and truer than having to experience the love and having toHere is a review that I wrote years back:What can you say about a twenty-five year girl who died?That she was beautiful.And Brilliant.That she loved Mozart and Bach.And the Beatles.And me.Oliver Barret IV went to Harvard and Jenny Cavilleri to Radcliffe. He was rich, she was poor. He was sporty, she played music.But they fell in love.This is their story.The first time I came across Love Story, it was the movie and not the book. I was enthralled by the movie and when finally I got hold of the
I was told to read this book by my favorite junior and sister when I told her I've got into a relationship and how I feel complete and it's so so so beautiful between us.She asked me to read this book because I am going to find some similarities between the characters in the book, the relationship they had and between my soulmate and me.And I was glad to find out that the similarities, yes, they were there. And I felt really nice after reading this short little book.'Love means never to have to
3.5 Harvard and Radcliffe stars!Meet Oliver Barett IV, Harvard undergraduate and an aspirant in law studies. Rich as gold, total hockey jock.Enter Jenny Cavilleri, studying music at Radcliffe. Sassy and exceedingly witty. And heres how it all started: What the hell makes you so smart? I asked. I wouldnt go for coffee with you, she answered.Listen- I wouldnt ask you.That, she replied, is what makes you stupid. The book exploits films and tiers of cheese and corn, and is in every bit,
I appreciate a good love story. No, dont give me THE BRIDGES OF MADISON COUNTYthat book was crap. Give me a story where the characters are more aligned with Holden Caulfield or Pookie from Nichols THE STERILE CUCKOO. I want smart-assy and witty banter. I want characters that play by their own rules or make them up as they go along. I want the possibility of real life. Enter Erich Segal and LOVE STORY. Published in 1970, this short133 pagenovel is relatively obscure today. Thats a shame. Segal
I read Love Story because I didn't want to see the movie, but I wanted to know what everyone was talking about. While it was an affecting and sentimental little story, even at that young age I felt that it was trying too hard to tug on my heartstrings. It seemed, somehow, too juvenile, even to my then very juvenile mind. In later years, I came to realize that the movie's oft quoted line, "Love means never having to say you're sorry" is a complete falsehood. In fact, love means always being
Oliver Barrett is the scion of the Barrett family and Jennifer a 'social zero'. Theirs is not an ordinary love story. This romance keeps the reader glued till the end, or rather an unpleasant end. The narrative is strong, effortless and edgy. No wonder it became a bestseller of its time and continues to spawn movie and TV adaptations. I can remember so many movies that have the same plot and yet, none has come close to evoking those same feelings as the book. I was literally moved to tears by
