Book Reviews of Little Women (Signet Classics)
Book Review: A Wonderful Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
Alcott's 'Little Women' is delightful and heartwarming, ever since I started reading it at 10 years old. The novel never fails to show me how we all make mistakes, we all fail, and we all triumph. Some of my friends have told me the book is boring, slow-paced, and idealistic. Little Women is simply about a family facing trials during the Civil War, and every chapter presents a fresh situation with a good deal of humor too. Alcott's style allows you to feel you are one of the March family, and her development of all characters is fantastic. Her details and dialogue allow the story to flow smoothly, and I've learned a lot from this great piece of American literature. I never tire of reading Little Women. It's that wonderful.Book Review: A must-read for all
Summary: 5 Stars
Little Women is, to put it simply, an great book. Any young woman with the slightest interest in reading would certainly be able to identify with at least one of the four unique sisters, and as I child I was fascinated by the predicaments and adventures of their lives- and convinced that I was in love with Laurie, their charming yet complex "boy next door." This story has not lost its charm because of its powerful illustration of female (obviously, sisterly in particular) relationships, as Alcott emphasizes their commitment to each other even as they grow in separate directions and face adversity. There's a reason why it became a classic...don't pass it up.Book Review: Wonderful Little Christian Novel
Summary: 5 Stars
When i was sixteen, my favorite book in the world was little women. i identified very much with jo march, a tomboyish girl who loves to read, go for "larks" with her best friend (the neighbor, a boy named laurie), has a short temper and dreams of one day becoming a published author.
i longed for the companionship jo had with her three sisters, the short "romance" and the longterm firendship she had with laurie, her sucess as a writer, and finally, her romance with the german, Professor Bhear.
this book is comical, witty, and has a wonder and warm sense of family life for those of us who hunger and thirst for love and belonging.
Book Review: A wonderful read for all ages
Summary: 5 Stars
As I began the first chapter of this book, I thought I had made a mistake in purchaing it. It started off kind of "goody-goody" sounding and written for young adults. But I gave it a chance, and it paid off. As I got further into the book, I was hooked. I fell in love with the characters and kept turning the page to see what would happen next. It's a classic story for every woman. I enjoyed it so much I bought it for my 8-year-old cousin.
The story is essentially about 4 sisters as they grow up. Each sister is unique, with different ideas and priorities. "Watching" them grow up through out the book is entertaining and heart-warming.
Book Review: Enjoyable in Alcott's day and in ours
Summary: 5 Stars
This timeless story of four young sisters growing up in Civil War-era New England is the sort you can re-read over and over, picking up new details every time...
Jo, Meg, Amy and Beth March may face serious troubles, such as poverty and concern over their father, off fighting in the war; but no matter what, their unique personalities still result in endless daily squabbles and laughs...especially when their rich but shy and isolated young neighbor Laurie gets involved.
If you enjoy this book, be sure to pick up "Little Men" and "Jo's Boys," which continue the sisters' stories as they mature and begin their own families.
