More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
One of the most celebrated novels of its time, Endless Love remains perhaps the most powerful novel ever written about young love. Riveting, compulsively readable, and ferociously sexual, Endless Love tells the story of David Axelrod and his overwhelming love for Jade Butterfield.
David's and Jade's lives are consumed with each other; their rapport, their desire, their sexuality take them further than they understand. And when Jade's father suddenly banishes David from the house, he fantasizes the forgiveness his rescue of the family will bring and he sets a "perfectly safe" fire to their house. What unfolds is a nightmare, a dark world in which David's love is a crime and a disease, a world of anonymous phone calls, crazy letters, and new fears -- and the inevitable and punishing pursuit of the one thing that remains most real to him: his endless love for Jade and her family.

When I was seventeen and in full obedience to my heart's most urgent commands, I stepped far from the pathway of normal life and in a moment's time ruined everything I loved-I loved so deeply, and when the love was interrupted, when the incorporeal body of love shrank back in terror and my own body was locked away, it was hard for others to believe that a life so new could suffer so irrevocably.

I too thought this book was "my little secret!" How wonderful to hear from others who feel the same way. One of the few books that have truly broken my heart - I felt changed after I read it. My ideas on love, obsession, living, family, and madness - all were altered by Scott Spencers' suberb, unduplicable writing stye. The intensity of his emotional and physical descriptions, coming from the viewpoint of David, leave you breathless and yearing for more. A masterpiece novel - one of my all time favorites, 15 years after first reading it!!

I just finished reading "Endless Love" today, and I was enthralled throughout the book's entirety! It was sad, but realistic in the sense that love sometimes doesn't conquer all. I was upset of the fact that the main character gradually goes insane and gives up on life. He had an obsession that no words could describe. The movie was completely different, because it came across as a sappy teenage love story. (Don't get me wrong, I still loved the movie, but the book was better.) The book was much darker and more realistic than the movie with Brooke Shields. Regardless, I love the "Endless Love" song, and the movie, but the book takes the cake.

I had to read this book as an intro to my 20th Century Classics course. I was skeptical about it at first because I find romance novels to be tedious and almost wasteful to me. This novel though... I guess it would have to be a romance novel, but it blew me away. It was scarier than a horror book because it flirts with what is real and what isn't in a relationship - to the extent where I didn't know! For example, an unreal event would occur and then it would suddenly seem not only real but also justified under David's circumstances. But under normal circumstances, one would probably think it would be ludicrous and fake. Spencer's style is amazing and I can't believe this book hasn't received more acclaim. If you have a day or two of free time, this story will be worth your time - I won't forget it anytime soon.
