Little Women

I loved this book as a young girl and as an adult it still stands up. Not much really needs to be said about this book other than that every young girl should read this.

I remember really enjoying this book when I read it as a girl, so I thought it might be time to read it again. I just couldn’t seem to enjoy it as much this time around. Yes, it was the same sweet and charming story I remember, but somehow it seems too sweet and charming this time. Perhaps such innocence and goodness just isn’t believable for a jaded adult in the modern world. It was still worth the read.

I had always claimed this book to be a childhood favourite, but realized I barely remembered it as years passed, so I picked it up again this month. It is as good as I remember, Part 1 being especially fulfilling. Full of loads of good advice delivered from mother to daughters, the many themes of this book (love, family, class) feel just as relevant today as they must have 140 years ago when the book was written. I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking to first start reading the classics, as the language is really accessible (although make sure you buy a softcover version as at 500+ pages it was quite cumbersome to carry around the hardcover!). My only complaint is that the book feels a bit wishy-washy in some parts, but I'm sure this is simply a result of the societal restrictions of the time in which it was written.

I'm not sure i can do justice to how much I love this book, how good and peaceful it makes me feel. I don't usually rate books, but I'd put this at 4.5/5, with the first half at about 4.95/5. There are a few things I take exception to, many of which are products of the time (yet are still prevalent today), but other than that, I think it's extraordinary!

I had actually forgotten how much I like it. I've had my copy for 16 years, and I haven't read it in about 10 years, but (esp. judging by how well-loved the book is), I must have read it about 8 times in the 6 years before that:P I got it for Christmas when I was 9, and it would've been a perfect book for me from 9-15ish:)

I love and really relate to the girls' innocence and good-ness. Even the "preachy" bits are done in such a way that I don't get offended or turned off, but can take what I feel are the important bits and leave the rest:P The love and care among the sisters, the rest of their family, their neighbours and the world in general, I adore and aspire to. While I don't agree with everything and/or the way it's presented, in LW, I find lessons, morals, themes, etc that I think are lost in a lot of ways today, and that I think we should strive to regain.

I can't adequately describe how good and ... whole this book makes me feel.

There are some classics that will never be out of print, this is one of them. Little Women has not been out of print since its release in the 1880's! "This has to be a good read..."you are right, it is!

This book was simply beautiful and warm. I loved how all 4 sisters are all different in their own way (personalities, looks) and the book tells how each of the sisters' lives come about, the feelings they discover, the troubles they face and how they deal with it. The mother with troubles of her own is always supportive and always gives good advise, no matter what she is their mother and will always care for them, each in their own way. The story is very good, written really well. It is a big book and I am not a fast reader, but finished it in 2 1/2 months! Very good read! Recommend it to anyone. It makes you think to appriciate life more!

I don't understand what the big deal is with this book. I didn't find it terribly interesting, and there was no obvious climax, in my opinion.

This book is one of my favorite classic's of all time. The book follows the life of every character, and the storyline is excellent . I recommend this book to anybody everybody who likes to read, it won't disappoint .

A truly fantabulous read, very touching and uplifting and real. You won't regret picking this one up!

This classic is heart warming. I enjoyed reading it from when they were children to when they truly were women! Allcot has truly capptured the hearts of many young readers. The character are strong willed and beautiful. I spent hours reading, and never could put the book down. I think all little women should read this wonderful classic!

READ IT! I LUVED IT! YOU HAVE TO OR ELSE...IF YOU DON'T... YOU ARE MISSING OUT!!!! READ IT!!

This book was amazing! I read it and began to cry when I had finished it. It's a wonderful book for teenage girls. Now I'm on to buy the next books in the series. Her adult books are apparently also very good.

Little Women and Good Wives is an excellent book. Full of life's important little lessons, Little Women is a heart-warming story about four sisters who must submit to their state of living in poverty. This is a book for every girl regardless of age. You will find that it touches your heart. Especially one sad chapter (I might spoil it for you if I give it away but you'll know what I mean once you've read it). Highly recommended! FIVE STARS *****

Little Women is the most wonderful book in the world! This story of four sisters will warm your heart and burst your spirits! I think any girl who adores a good book shall love this book and love the sisters in it.

Even though, I have only read few classic novels, and I think ¡°Little Women¡± is the best of all. And I'm sure it will be my favourite book after 100 years! This novel is about the heartwarming stories happens in the March family. Pretty and girlish Meg, boyish Jo who wants to be a famous writer, bashful but sweet Beth and mischievous Amy have made this book so touching and irresistible. They also have a lovely neighbor¨CTeddy who always brings joy to the family.

Every chapter can touch your heart; it makes you cry , makes you chuckle when Mr. Laurence overheard Jo¡¯s remark about him¡­ Every chapter is a lesson for me; when Jo lost her temper, I leaned that I should keep my temper, when their parents are not at home and Beth is sick, I learned from Meg, Jo and Amy to be strong¡­

¡°Little Women¡± is a novel that you will read again and again, and it will touch your heart by all the warm stories. I think this book is for all ages, and everyone will love it!

This charming, and dazzling early nine-teen hundreds story is one of my favorites, or is! It features four sisters (Starting with the oldest: Meg, Joe, Beth, Amy)who live a poor life with their mother alone because their father is in war.Then,an old man moves next to their house with his son(who is about Joe's age)and his son's tutor.Of course the girls are intrigued by this young boy, and finally, by a party, Joe gets to meet him. You could say it was a "love at first sight" thing, event though they were just friends. Laurie, the boy, ended up a good friend of the family.But things got more and more complicated for the family March, Beth got extremely sick, their father was injured,and Meg fell in love the boy's teacher.Sadness comes when Beth can't have any help from the doctor, for she has Scarlet fever but by Christmas she is better and thier father is home.Tragedy comes back and I would tell tou the rest, but thats just spoiling the end!

Its hard for me to find a book that keeps me reading it until the end and all over again. There may have been a few before that I have taken the time to read again, but Little Women is different somehow. After I finished reading this book the first time around, I wanted to go out and buy the movie, not rent it but buy it. It was exciting, imaginative and it is now my favourite book of all time. I would definitly recommend this book to everyone.

I bought this book with the intention of introducing my daughter to literary classics. I was not disappointed! We have read one chapter every night time permitting, it has taken us nearly a year to finish. What this book has done is improved my daughter's vocabulary and reinforced some of the old values and morals that we as a society need to be reminded of. A breath of fresh air, both romantic, tragic and life like. Enjoy.

Little Women was great. It was the best book I have read. I finished the book in one day.

"Little Women" is the best I've ever read. This book was so touching,it made me cry. I really got in touch with myself cause of this book. I have three other sisters. I would just die if anything ever happened to either of them. I love each and every one of them.
