Summary: Where's the love story?
Review: This book is ridiculously overhyped. Instead of telling what would probably be the most interesting part of the story (and the part that would make the rest of the story a little more understandable), the book starts out after Jade and David have broken up and merely chronicles his obsession with her despite all evidence that she doesn't reciprocate his feelings. For all that it's heralded as an honest look at first love, the actual reciprocal love is left out entirely.
The hour and a half it took me to read this book would have been better and more enjoyably spent reading the average Harlequin drivel.

Summary: A beautifully written journey into obsession
Review: This is a special jewel of a book. I always thought I had discovered it! I stumbled upon Endless Love Years ago, and I'm glad I got past thinking that the book might have any real relationship to the movie based on it. It is the story of a young man's obsession with his lover, and his relationship with her family and with his own. The self-centeredness of the main character is a bit reminiscent of the boy in "Catcher in the Rye", but all the other characters are also depicted with a clarity that made me miss them when I closed the book. Scott Spencer has an attention to physical and emotional detail that projected me into David's world, that made the characters (especially David and Jade's mother, Ann) distinct and interesting and real. And it gave me an understanding of mental illness that no other book, fact or fiction, has ever done.I've since read all of Spencer's books, and this is my favorite of his and one of my all-time favorite books.

Summary: Absolutely Unforgetable!
Review: This is the absolute best book I have ever read. So good in fact that I have read it seven times and each time I read this book I find myself reacting like it was my first time reading it. There are not many books written that can capture your attention from cover to cover the way this book does. Scott Spencer is an exceptional author. The best part about reading books is that you are able to know what the narrarator is thinking and feeling and Spencer is able to explain every minute detail in such a way that you are able to feel what David Axlerod is feeling. I have recommended this book to everyone I know and I especially recommend this book to people who are often very apprehensive about reading love stories. Harlequin doesn't hold a candle to this book!
