'An era-defining romance' - Daily Mail Over 21 million copies sold Translated into 33 languages worldwide The inspiration for the number-one box office hit film, which was named one of the 100 most romantic films of all time by the American Film Institute. Meet Oliver Barrett IV, a rich jock from a stuffy WASP family on his way to a Harvard degree and a career in law, and Jenny Cavilleri, a wisecracking working-class beauty studying music at Radcliffe. Oliver and Jenny - kindred spirits from different worlds ? talk, question, answer and fall for each other so deeply that no one, themselves included, can understand it. So instead of trying to understand it, they embrace it. Until something happens that will turn their new, perfect world upside down. This is their story: a story of two young people and a love so uncompromising it will bring joy to your heat and tears to your eyes.

"Fast, easy to read classic novel. The book is short, but Segal does so much in so little space, even without a lot of detail. My inner narrator was even accented as I read this. I can see why it was so popular in the 70s. I may just have to watch the movie now. "

"Tragic ending, but honestly, I did not find this novel appealing. The main character was unlikeable and the story was bland."

"You’re not ready to care this much about fictional people. Love Story is, in fact, just that- but more so. "

"4 Stars!<br/><br/>"Love means never having to say you're sorry."<br/><br/>I love this book as much as I love the freaking movie! <br/><br/>The reason why I'm giving it a four instead of a five because the simple fact I saw the movie first instead of reading the book which the movie is pretty much a word from word adaption of the book. I know the author of the book wrote the screenplay for the movie but he pretty much left everything the same. He just left a few things out but didn't put anything in. So while it was good book the fact I watched the movie a shiton of times ruin the experience a little. I don't know if I"m going to read Oliver Story or not since I heard it's not as good as Love Story... <br/><br/>The OG The Fault of our Stars! We know where John Green got the idea from! Matter of fact when I read Fault of our Stars a while the first thing I say was" This is just like Love Story but with teens." HAHA! <br/>"
