Love Story Review

Love Story By erich segal

                   ...It's a bittersweet symphony.

This novel revolves around a story about romance between a “Preppie”(a handsome young man from a wealthy family) and a capricious girl from the Italian ghettos of America.Not the best work of literature and yet quite charming.With its thin layers of overtones, this little narrative might become one of the most endearing tale for you.It does not advocate the best use of language; its full of slangs.It does not give you a convenient flow of words with all its rough transaction between scenes.It also does not give you any moral message except “Love means not ever having to say you're sorry” .

Now the part that describes what the story is! It is humorous, sarcastic and witty.It professes that romance is described by small things like frivolous rebukes and glorious surnames. It gives you a chance to relate to it. To appreciate your loved ones in life.And most importantly ,It gives the message that “Love means not ever having to say you're sorry”. Love is defined mostly by keywords 'intimacy', 'passion' and 'Commitment'. The definition that author gives is however pleasantly radical.It covers all aspects of love...parental,romantic, for siblings and for friends alike.It implies that love is independent of the people embodying it.It is forgiving.

However, this novel is highly dependent on its audience and their taste.Some people might find it ordinary and conclude that it is overrated.Hence my advice is to skim through a few pages before you decide to purchase it.It is recommended for people between 15-45 who have a taste for romantic drama/comedy.
