Summary: A Colorful Book for a Colorful Reader!
Review: Eight Cousins in one of my favorite books! The stories behind the pages showsuspense and brilliance in every word. Please, reader, read this book, for you wont regret it! Rose Campbell has it all: wealth, brains, beauty, and kindness, well, she has every thing but a mother. But her father is kind and cherishes her beyond love, but then suddenly Rose is an orphan at her Aunts' house. Her many aunts all want custedy of her, but finaly, she is put into the hands of her Uncle Alec for a year. Alec is a kind and simple gentleman who gets rid of Roses corsets and things and though she is aghast at such notions, she soon becomes grateful for him. Then, seven boys come into the picture, though all gentlemen, still were boys! Rose dispises boys, but must learn to get along with them for the sake of Alec, for she is ready to do every thing possible for him. But after the year, through tragety and scorn, Rose finds that she can't tear away from them. This novel is possesive and ful of suspense and I recomend it with full heart. Sincerly, a reader of this book.

Summary: Wonderful classsic!
Review: Eight Cousins is a great book. I don't know if any of you have been in this situation, but I wasn't able to get through Little Women because it seemed to move quite slowly. Not so with this book. It keeps moving and it keeps you laughing at the new antics of the residents of the "Aunt Hill". All the characters are delightful in this, but you have to get the sequel, Rose in Bloom, as well. Eight Cousins is a wonderful story about growing up, but it's sequel gives you the romance you already see developing in this first one. I would particularly recommend this book to girls between the ages of 10 and 15.

Summary: A Classic Growing up by none other than Louisa May Alcott!
Review: I had to read an audio book for a school project, and i chose "Eight Cousins". It is about Rose Campbell, her rowdy seven boy cousins, and her many aunts and uncles! Her guardian, doctor, and uncle, Alec, is trying to restore the rosiness in Rose's yellow cheeks. He prescribes many odd diganoses that amazingly work. Rose changes from a frail child to a warm, caring, and hearty young woman. I'm sure many other readers will laugh and cry as the touching chapters of any Alcott book are turned--I know i did! But I'd recommened this book for girls, of any age, instead of boys!

Summary: A Classic Growing up, by none other than Louisa May Alcott!
Review: I had to read an audio book for a school report, and "Eight Cousins" was the one I picked out. "Eight Cousins is about Rose Campbell: now orphaned and raised improperly by her two great aunts. Then along comes her guardian, Uncle Alec, and her seven boy cousins to cheer up the frail Rose!! Dr. Alec prescribes many queer diagonses that amazingly make Rose happy again. The once shy and weak girl is now a beautiful and rosey cheeked young woman, truely resembling the blossoming rose she should be!! Louisa May Alcott truely has written another wonderful book, bursting with truth, wisdom, and humor. I would love to read the sequel!!

Summary: Has been in the shadow of "little women" but is a classic!
Review: I love this book! I just finished reading it, and read it before maybe 4 years ago. This is a fantastic book for any girl who, like me, is sick of all those teen angst books about drugs, sex, dysfuctional families, and depression. (which, it seems, is all they ever print these days) This book is just very enjoyable and wholesome, and isn't hard to read like some other classics. I am so jealous of Rose! I am just her age and would love to have seven boy cousins who live close-by. Actually, I'd love to know almost anyone in the book; Phebe, uncle Alec, Aunt Jessie, and all the rest of the aunts. (except maybe Myra and clare) I can't wait to read Rose In Bloom, though I have before, but have forgotten exactly what happened. This is a great book, truly a classic, and every girl between 9-14 should read it.

Summary: Eight Reasons NOT to Read Eight Cousins...
Review: I loved "Eight Cousins". You get to know the characters thoroughly by the end of the book-there is great description. Unlike most of Louisa May Alcott's books, this is about a rich girl-Rose Campbell. However, Rose gets to be so wholesome and so sweet that except at the beginning, you hardly notice her wealth. This book is about a girl, as I've said, whose name is Rose Campbell. She has lost her parents, but has quite enough relitives to take care of her. She has six aunts, four uncles, and seven boy cousins. To Rose, this last is a dreadful, and for she is fresh from a prim girl's boarding school, and before that lived with her invalid, solitary father until he died, she has never really seen any boys, and considers them to be some sort of wild animal. She is therefore unprepared to find her cousins gentlemanly and nice, although they are healthy, happy lads. There are Archie, the chief, Prince Charlie, Mac, the Bookworm, Steve the Dandy, the Brats, Geordie and Will, and Jamie, the baby. Rose's aunts all want to bring the girl up their own way, but fourtunatly Rose is entrusted to her Uncle Alec, a kind man who has ideas about health that astonish
Rose at first. However, they grow to love one another dearly. Rose's aunts are Peace, the sweet old lady who "wore no black, but soft, pale colors, as if always ready for the marrige that had never come", Aunt Plenty, "always trotting, she was a regular Martha", Aunt Clara, the fashionable woman who "had been a beauty and as belle, and was still a handsome woman", Aunt Jane, the one who is very severe, and always expects Rose to be studying, Aunt Myra, who has it as her hobby "to believe people were tottering on the brink of the grave, and, upon my word, was offended if people didn't fall into it"! and last but not least, sweet, kind Aunt Jessie, Uncle Alec and Rose's confidante. My favorite chapter was "Good Bargains", and my favorite characters were Phebe, an important one who I have not yet mentioned. Phebe is a healthy, kind girl who is a chamber maid, and "sings like a bird and works like a woman". I also liked the boys, the Aunts Jessie, Peace, and Plenty, Rose, and Uncle Alec. I would recommend this book to anyone, especially girls, age 9 and above. This is another of Louisa Alcott's best books!
