Since i m still finally finding my feet in here i thought it wise to share all my previous online posts here.
The first of the many posts i m going to share here is my review of LOVE STORY by ERICH SEAGAL.
Wrote this way back in 2004 when i was still in the process of rediscovering myself in KOTA.

Today I was sorting out my mails that were sent to me long back and came across one peice which referred to Love Story.Actually I had let my friend know about this book and had asked her to let me know about this book..and her view were,

’’I just finished reading Love Story and was so moved!!! I just held the book after finishing it...flipping the pages...reading the end again and again...trying to think why she had to die. I was just crying motionlessly not knowing wut to think really...it was as if I was living in their world as if I had lost someone beloved...I’ve been in not so great mood for past 2 days anyways and this book just made me even more emotional. god wasn’t it the best novel ever....as soon as I finished it the first thing i did was came online to mail u...i don’t know y but just wanted to talk to you.....I knew it was impossible to find u online at this time but still wished for a min to see u online......wish to talk to u soon.... ’’

All those of u who have read it are at this moment nodding their heads in agreement coz all of us have felt the same way that my friend did. I am never ever going to try to give the gist of the novel because if reading novels is my religion then Erich Seagal is my god and Love Story my bible.And to try to interpret Love Story in my words would tantamount to blasphemy on my part.
I read this novel on a train and couldn’t help but read it again and again and to my horror I found my eyes getting wet.I asked myself what what was wrong with me and got no answer.Once I reached my destination I gave this novel to a friend and begged him to finish it and when my friend arrived next morning one look at his face was enough to tell me that there was nothing wrong with me for he felt the same way that I did. In his words:
’’ I felt as if Jenny was sitting in that sofa beside the fireplace softly smiling that cunning wicked humorous smile of hers as the story is happening in front of my eyes’’
And at that moment i understood the comment that was written at the back of the book. In this novel U are an unwritten Seagal character.
In the beginning of the book you are informed that Jenny will die but as the book progress you get so much involved in the lives of Jenny and Ollie that u dread the thought of jenny dying..you pray to god ..oh god let a miracle happen,let the first lines of the book be a trick that my eyes are playing on me. Let it not be true that Jenny has to die.

Jenny is the most beautiful female character that could ever be described on paper while Oliver executes the role of an underdog with perfection.The way Jenny dies in Ollie’s arms is really moving and much more moving that that is ollie’s pledge to himself that he will not cry. If love story is all about love I guess love is the most beautiful thing in the world. and the best lines of the novel... Love means never ever having to say sorry.
Though there are so many scenes in the novel worth recounting the one that stands out for me is Olliver standing on the curb outside the hospital in the bitter cold telling himself that the cold is good for him because it is taking away the numbness of his heart.That is one scene that seems cut copied and pasted from my life and hence i can so easily identify with it.
Read this book for sure..do what ever u can ..steal the book..rob a book store..kill someone for this book. But if ever you see this book and not read it then you will regret not taking it then and there itself. Once u read this u will see love in a better perspective.
A comment rightly says ’’For someone who was in love, is in love or hopes to be in love’’ This is no doubt the last word on LOVE
