Title: Love Story
Author: Erich Segal
Pages: 187
Grade: A
Summary: (From the back of the book)
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.
My thoughts: I read this book within about 2-3 hours. Which says both that it is that easy a read and it is that good. Somehow I’ve gone through life without knowing well this story. Which is unusually sad and I bless the little old lady at the goodwill who told me I should read it for it would break my heart. It was excellent…and she was right, it was heartbreaking. It is, simply, a love story. One you should therefore be forced to read.
