Summary: Bachelor Uncle to the Rescue
Review: Rose is a sad little girl. Orphaned at the tender age of 13, she has been in the hands of several well-meaning but misguided aunts, all of whom are stifling her with their good intentions. When Uncle Alec finally arrives on the scene, he vows to undue the damage done by the aunts. To that end, he demands one year to do with Rose as he will. If, at the end of that time, the results are not satisfactory to all, he will again concede control to the females. Touching and sweet, most little girls will enjoy this book. I read it over and over as a child, and never tired of the antics of Rose's 7 boy cousins as they tried to please, entertain, and earn her favor. Reading it over again as an adult, I'd say there's nothing in this book to worry a parent. It's a good, wholesome story, and some of the lessons found inside it's pages still apply today.

Summary: I hope this story about Rose never ends !
Review: This book and it's sequel 'Rose in Bloom' are the best books I've ever read in my life. I fell in love with all the characters, especially:Rose,Mac,Charlie,Uncle Alec and the rest of the cousin.I wish Louisa May Alcott had written a thousand books to continue this remarkable story ever written.Filled with numerous poetic phrases which is undescribably marvelous.Wisest morals,advices for life binds the story together.The warmth of the story never leave my heart.This is to me, the best books ever in the whole world.No words can ever describe how much I love this story.Read it or die uncontended.

Summary: Lovely and Beatiful!
Review: This is a really sweet book. It's good for any young girl but still interesting enough for grownups. Rose is adoreable and her Uncle Alec is a wonderful man. Alcott always wrote upbringing books of 1800's times. The sequel "Rose in Bloom" is also a lovely book.

Summary: As Good As 'Little Women'
Review: This is the wonderful story of Rose Campbell, whom we first meet as a sickly and despondent 13-year-old orphan. She is grieving for her recently dead parents, and she tends to get the vapors and other Victorian women's ailments. Nevertheless, this shy, frail and delicate creature is sent to live on the "Aunt Hill" to be raised by six very opinionated aunts. And that's not all. She is also surrounded by seven male cousins, as boisterous and full of life as they come. Rose's initial reaction is to wish herself dead. Barely able to lift her head, she is frightened and overwhelmed by the presence of her mischievous clan. But deep inside, she is secretly envious. The boys get to climb trees and run and play, while Rose, as all young women in her day, is confined to the parlor, constricted by tight corsets and impossible petticoats. Along comes Uncle Mac, the doctor uncle whose view of how to raise girls clashes with his day and time--and all six of his sisters, the formidable aunts. In the character of Doctor Mac, Louisa May Alcott was able to tout her own family's avant garde views on women's health, almost a century ahead of its time. The doctor forbids Rose to wear the constricting corsets, to the horror of all her aunts and the girl herself. He wonders how she can feel healthy when she cannot draw a decent breath? He encourages her to play outside with her cousins, to get fresh air and exercise. He demands that she eat good, hearty meals instead of womanly morsels. And under his tutelage, and with the friendship of her wonderful cousins, Rose starts to bloom. She turns from a shy, sickly little mouse into a strong, outgoing young woman. I loved this book as a child; I love it now. It has the perfect message for any girl of any age: Be yourself, take care of yourself, and nothing and nobody can stop you. In my view, "Eight Cousins" is Alcott's true masterpiece.

Summary: A Tale to Delight Young and Old
Review: This novel has been my favoite classic since I was a young girl of eight. As an established bookworm of 26 years, I still delight in the simplicity and innocence of these eight children. Their trials, resulting with both failures and victories, will remind even the most hardened cynic that truly life on this earth can be as simple and uncomplicated as we chose to make it. I recommend this book as a gift for young or old, male or female. I look forward to the day when my children are old enough for Mommy to read it to them at bedtime. I trust it will help mold thier world as it has mine.

Summary: I read it before "Little Women", AWESOME!!!!!!
Review: This was the first book I read by the author and I will always consider it my favorite. The story was excellent and I think it would make a great movie. I have to say although I love "Little Women", I would rather read this one and someday (years from now) I want my children to read this, a true classic.

Summary: One of my favorite books!
Review: When my teacher told us that we had to choose a book from her book list for our book reports, I had no idea what book to choose. After a while I finally chose this book, Eight Cousins. Once I started reading it, I couldn't put it down!! The book is about the time when Rose Campbell's father died, and Rose went to live with her Aunt Peace and her Aunt Plenty , who lived in a big house on Aunt Hill, until her uncle, her legal guardian, came for her. When Rose arrived she was a very sickly & scared girl. Her aunts didn't know what to do with her, and she was surrounded by 7 loud and wild boy cousins. When her savior/guardian, Uncle Alec arrives, she puts her full trust into him, and he helps overcome her fears, & turns her into a very pretty and healthy child. It wasn't long before Rose was as happy, healthy and lively as any of her cousins. Don't worry, I didn't give away the ending, (the back of the book tells even more than this)! As I said before, this is one of the best books I have ever read, (I even cried a little at the end!!!). ENJOY!!!!!!
