By the author of one of the best selling novels of all times, 'Love Story' will touch your heart deep down and will make you feel like an unwritten character of Segal living it all from inside.
''What can you say about a twenty-five-year-old girl who died? That she was beautiful, and brilliant, that she loved Mozart and Bach. And the Beatles and me.''
With this begins one of Erich Segal most celebrated novels where he pens down a saga about two beautiful, but totally different characters that fall in love with each other when they know they have nothing in common but love. The blunt and inspiring conversations of Oliver Barrett, a millionaire Harvard ice hockey jock and Jennifer Cavilleri, a wise cracking Radcliff music major are the highlights of this book. They are sure to bring an ear-to-ear smile on your face and feasibly, even make you laugh. As she once answered Oliver when they first met during their college years
Oliver said, ''What the hell makes you so smart and me so stupid?''
''I wouldn't go for coffee with you?''
''Listen! I wouldn't ask you.''
''That.'' she said ''Is what makes you so stupid.''
Their love story starts of in college as dates and more frequent dates and then it matures into a marriage of two souls who sacrifice dreams and much more for love. Towards the latter half of the book one realises that they had everything to share but time. That's the turning point in this book, and only then, does one realise that only their love would last forever. They teach us that love is all about understanding, believing, maturity and truly having that special bond, that special sparkle in your heart. This is a story of perfect love, which one can often just, dreams of and hope to experience.
'Love Story' is a book which you will probably never want to forget. A definite masterpiece in its own forte. This book is for someone who was in love, who is in love or hopes to be in love.
A book, which is an experience by, itself which will never leave you and will be in your heart forever. One of the best love stories I have come across. A perfect book to gift to someone special and a jewel to treasure for oneself.
Erich Segal is an international best-selling author who has eminently crafted various novels such as 'Oliver's Story', 'Only Love', 'The Class', 'Doctors' and many more. This perfectly written 'Love Story' has more than 21 million devotees and once you read it too, you're next.
