Summary: Wonderful Book!
Review: When I was in the 8th grade, I was casted as Meg in our school's play of "Little Women." That was my first experience with the story. I soon picked up the book after that and could not put it down. It was wonderful! This is a story of four sisters facing the hardships of a nation at war, finding love, losing family, and having to grow up. This is a must read for every young woman as well as adults who will be able to appreciate this story all over again.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: LOUISA MAY ALCOTT'S SIGNATURE BOOK!
Review: Louisa May Alcott, author of Little Women, is a literature genius when it comes to this book! Meg, who is sweet and shy, is also the oldest, Jo is a tomboy but also has a gentle heart, Beth, who is very down to earth and ends up with a undeserved ending, and Amy, who learns that she is selfish and does change her ways, are all the most wonderful sisters and characters anyone could hope for in a classic like this! I rate this book 4 stars because it shows the trials and tribulations of yankee sisters during wartime!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Little Women: A Big Treasure
Review: I read Little Women after having seen the movie. I enjoyed the book alot.

Read about Meg, the pretty and mature one, Jo, the tomboy, Beth, frail and quiet, and Amy, the spoiled and confident one. You can relate the these "little women" as you read.

But don't forget loving Marmee, fun and lovable Teddy, and mysterious but caring Mr. Lawrence.

I devoured every page of the book. I read almost 100 pages each day! The only part I found somewhat boring were the chapters about Jo in New York. Well the letters were a bit boring.

There are so many memorable moments in this book: Meg's vanity fair, Jo's haircut, Amy's punishment and humiliation at school, Beth's sickness, the birth of Daisy and Demi, and Jo's school. Read this book to be transported to the world of little women.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Art of charecterization
Review: This is a one beautiful book to read ,the beauty of the book is that it got so many central charecters and each one holds his place completely.Amy is a wonderful girl ,who keeps the strings of happiness in the family.but mrs. march who is the driving force in the book occupied such a less space,maybe this is again her sacrifice for her children.I am dying to read all other sequel hope I will find them,

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Book to Grow With
Review: Alcott's novel recounting the lives of the March family is aremarkable book reflective of her own unusual upbringing (the Marchesare all modeled after her real-life family, from her artistic sister May to her scholarly father). The story is written episodically, making for ideal bedtime reading, and is filled with lessons of early feminism, transcendtal theories, and the advanced ideas of the Civil War era that Alcott absorbed from her father.

I've read this book for a decade, and only recently made a trip to the Alcott house in Boston. What a wonderful way to come back to a book that shaped my life and ideas of independence.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THE BEST BOOK!
Review: The title says it all. I Loooooovvvvvveeeeeee this book. I first read it in 2nd or 3rd grade and have been reading it ever since. I totally reccomend this book. Read it and see for your self.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Help
Review: I haven't read this book & probably should. I started to in grade school and got bored after 2 pages. Anyway, I watched the movie recently and was very confused. It was a pretty good story and apparently autobiographical, but can someone who is hip on this story answer some questions. e-mail me at msbeckaru@aol.com

1) Who is Marmee? The sisters are Meg, Jo, Beth, & Amy as best as I could tell. Does the mom have a name? 2) Is Teddy the same person as Laurie cuz I'm really confused on that. 3) What are Meg's babies names? They didn't say in the movie. 4) Who's the old lady who leaves Jo the poodle and the house? Is she a relative?

Thanks.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Truly Wonderful Book
Review: Little Women is one of the best books I've ever read.In this novel about faith and courage, four sisters, Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy, fight through the hardships and beauty of life.While their father is off to war, the sisters give up their daily bread to keep their courage alive.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Finally!
Review: OK, so after the 17 hundredth time (yes, I'm exaggerating), I have finally finished Little Women, and I'm so glad that I did! It's so totally excellent, and each chapter has a moral. Like, not to be vain or to not waste time or to not put much stock in riches, for money never was the equivalent to true love and happiness. I cried & sobbed, and laughed and just generally thought "I wish I were as contented as Beth, or as clever as Jo, beautiful as Amy & charismatic as Meg." You fall in love with each of these girls, and Miss Alcott gave such a perfect description. I LOVE this book! Read it, and you'll never regret it. Pefection, pure and simple. It isn't any wonder that this book has turned into such an American classic.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I can only give it five stars!
Review: "Little Women" is my favorite book of all time. I love all of Louisa May Alcott's books dearly, and I seem to keep coming back to this one. Who cannot laugh with the Alcott sisters when Jo burns Meg's hair off? Who cannot shed at least a few tears when sweet, gentle Beth dies? Whose heart cannot be ripped apart in agony when Jo rejects Laurie's declaration of love for her? This book is a masterpiece. It's a role model - an encourager. To the person who said that the Marches were the "perfect" family - I dearly hope to have a family as good as they when I grow up. I feel like the Marches are my family! Read the book. You won't regret it, I promise you.
