Summary: Little Women
Review: Little Women was a classic,but it wasn't as good as I thought it would be. It was interesting, I'll give it that, but it didn't have the key things that a good piece of literature should have.It was set in New England and told the lives,sometimes dull lives, of the four March girls. Their hardships,sorrows, and happy times is what this book is all about. Desciption is really good in Little Women. When the girls' father goes to war, the girls and their mother wait for a lette, that would never come. Overall, 3 stars is all this book gets, nothing more nothing less. Remember there are always two sides to a loved classic book; it may be loved by some but disliked by others.

Summary: An awsome book
Review: This book,was the best book I had ever read.It goes through the depth of the aspects of life.Once I start reading I reading like a maniac. It's a book full of thoughts and conflicts, struggles, and peice faced by 4 sisters during the Civil War. It' more than just a book. Beleive me when you read this book, you won't regret it. You will love the day you opened this book. I hope you read and see what I mean.

Summary: Touching and Thought Provoking
Review: This is now my favorite book! The struggles that the whole family goes through touches me. It reveals how sorrowful and joyous a person can be in a matter of time. Happiness doesn't come with your wealth or belongings, but with your family and friends. I can relate to the girls in the different situations. The story made me laugh and made me cry! I would say it is by far better than the movies. The use of detail and description is beautifully done. I like how the language and story are so old fashioned and find myself using such dialect after reading it! I would recommend this book to anyone who likes bitter-sweet stories that make you think.

Summary: A great book!
Review: Little Women is one of the best books I've ever read. I like the TV show "Little Men" so my mom suggested I read the "beginning of the story." I was reluctant at first, but once I got into it I couldn't put it down! I like how all of the 4 sisters were close to eachother. Amy really got on my nerves because she was so snobby and ladylike, but all of the other characters were interesting. It is definitely one I'll read again.

Summary: THE CATCHER AND THE RYE
Review: Most people either hate or love Salinger's novel because they either relate to it or they don't; Little Women was a novel in the same way. If my 53 year old dad read this, he would not have appreciated it as much as 19 year old me, who loves Jo and Beth the most because they struck a chord in my heart. Alcott, more than any other author, invites you warmly to sit on the couch with the Marches as they laugh, cry, think, and charm you right into their home and their lives. I was a silent cousin while reading this novel, and I still think Jo and Laurie should be together. Feminists, put your guards down because this book is not about submission or female inferiority, it is about overcoming everything with love, both for males and females. Don't watch the movie EVER. You'd strip away all the justice of Alcott's classic by watching the Cliff Notes.

Summary: The Marches, Laurences, Brookes, and Bhaers
Review: This book is by far the most compelling book of the century. This book shows the struggles and hardships of four girls and the people around them. Throughout the book, there are many difficult situation that the girls have to overcome. If you haven't read this book, you really should because it redefines our modern day concepts of family life and love.

Summary: Probably a good book, but not for everyone
Review: My mother, an avid reader, always introduced books to me and "Little Women" is one of them. But I eventually rejected it after looking through it. It simply isn't my cup of tea because I don't really related to four proper ladies during the 1800s who all eventually got married off and produced offspring, including Jo, who was supposed to be "tomboyish" and independent-minded. Additionally, it may be a little too cloyingly sentimental for me to stomach. But however, if it is a good, well-written book with inspiring characters, especially women living in the 19th century, then I guess I'd recommand it to anyone who would like it nevertheless.

Summary: Missong the point
Review: Many people think diferently from me about the point the author wanted to put across in her writing. I think that the author wanted us to see the struggle that everyday life can be for the rich and poor alike.I also thought that she potrayed the girls as wanting to be good, becuase she wanted us to realize that deep down inside of all of us there is a part that wants to do its best.

Summary: I thought it was a great book.
Review: It is my opinion that this book is a very well writen book. I encourage everyone and anyone to read this book. But I must warn you about a certain copy of this book that I ordered...To every on that bends the binding of the paperbacks when their reading, DO NOT get the Mass Market paperback (so what, if it's only $3.19!). I am one of those people who bends the binding. When I was reading the Mass Market LW the cover began to fall off. Now it has fallen almost completely off of the book!
