Book Review 3 - Love Story

Love Story
(Erich Segal)
The story revolves around lives of two people i.e. Oliver Berett IV and Jennifer Cavelleri. Oliver is a hockey player from Harwards and the son of Oliver Berett III who indeed is a very rich banker, while Jennifer is a Radcliffe college student and the daughter of a baker(Phil) not as rich as O.L. III.
Both of them fell deeply in love but their love story doesn't lasts long as the latter is consumed by Leukemia.
It(the book) also contrasts the difference with which the two treat their fathers. Oliver doesn't likes his pompous and nagging father while Jenny's father is her best companion and a very friendly creature.
As you come to the end of the book you are left with a feeling of nostalgia in your heart.
The short novel (hardly a four hour affair) is full of wit and oxymoron's are also in abundance.
The writing style of Erich is simple and expressions are surplus. However if you are into reading soft romantic books then this is quite the book for you.
Rating 6.8/10
