Summary: Little women
Review: You should read this book because it is really exciting. It is about 4 girls and their rich next door neighbour Lauire. The girls miss their Dad who is away at war. Although the family is poor they are happy. Beth (the second youngest) catches a disease and her sisters care for her. At the end, Christmas is very special because their father comes home from war. I think only girls should read this book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Lessons I Learned
Review: I read Little Women by:Louisa May Alcott.
This book is an amazing book. It does not necessarily teach you lessons on how to live, but from reading the book you learn alot. I enjoyed this book so much. It taught me about family, love, sacrifices, hardships, and alot more.
When Beth goes and visits the Hummel family and gets Scarlett Fever from the baby, you sense alot of feelings from everyone. That was a very intense part for me. Also when the Dad gets sick, and the Mom leaves that is another intense part. Alot of things happen that make you feel like you do not know what is going to happen.
Then the sister's start to grow up and fall in love. You get to know them so much throughout this book. When they feel something like when Jo thinks Beth loves Laurie, the guy Jo met and become friends with, and then goes away and lets Beth have him. That hurts to know how she is feeling. But when Jo meets Professor Bhaer and starts to fall in love with him you get very excited.
I was did not specifically like how the book ended becuase I wanted something else to happen that did not. But I still think this was a great book and I reccomend it to anyone searching for a book that you can not help but care about the characters.

Summary: Alcott's ultimate best
Review: When i was nine years old i read little Women. Though it is long I read it pretty quickly and enjoyed it immensely. After reading this wonderful book I became inpired to finish the trilogy about Jo and her family/life, and to read more of Alcott's work. right now I am reading An Old-Fashioned Girl which I am enjoying, but isn;t as good as Little Women, Alcott's masterpiece. this book is perfectly balanced because there are joyous moments, though sad things occur. This fictionalized story about Louisa may Alcott as a teenager is written well. I would reccomend it to any girl between the ages of 9 and 12! I will defenitely read this book again, to rediscover the timeless tale of four wonderful sisters.

Summary: An Interesting Book for Girls
Review: I think Little Women is a wonderful book. It is about four sisters who live with their mother, "Marmee". Their father is working in the Civil War. I think it was very interesting because Miss Alcott makes it full of surprises. Even when sometimes the surprises seem out of place, everything comes out perfect.Anyway, it has a very nice ending, and I loved reading it even though it was very long.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Little Women book review
Review: I quite enjoyed the book. Although it's long, I think it captures many readers because so many events happen, and so randomly.

Little Women is the American classic tale about Margaret (Meg), Josephine (Jo), Beth (Elizabeth), and Amy growing up during the Civil War, with their mother, who they affectionately call "Marmee". Their father is off in battle, and while the girls are unhappy about being poor, they learn that they don't need that much to be happy.

Meg is the eldest, at 16 at the start of the story. She has lovely dark hair, and is sensible and pretty. Jo is a regular tomboy who loves to write, and at one point cuts off her chestnut locks to help get money for her father. Beth doesn't have much of a physical description, but is very kind and sweet. Now Amy, who I don't like too much, has golden blond hair and blue eyes.

This book was nice, but it rather focused too much on who's pretty and who's not. Laurie was a delightful character that added a lot to the book, however.

I liked the chapters about Demi and Daisy, but I really didn't like the part when Jo dismissed Laurie, for I think they would have been perfect together. I also hated that selfish Amy went off and left poor Jo in misery so she could have a good time, AND stole Laurie away.

While the outcome of the book is rather disappointing, this is truly a timeless tale of love and poverty, of life and death, and all the while very amusing.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Review on Little Women
Review: I thought the book was rather good. It was kind of easy to read and easy to follow. I also liked it because it was about four sisters. I think books with sisters it in are good for children to read so they no what other ppl think its like to have sisters. Then ending was really cute too.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Amanda's thoughts on Little Women
Review: I actually liked the book Little Women. I am not huge fan of reading, but for some reason i really liked this book. It was sort of boring at parts, but other time you couldn't put it down. There was also very upsetting parts and even happy parts which made u keep reading and keep wondering. An ex. of sadness was when Beth passed away. It was shocking when Laurie asked Jo to marry him and she said no, and then he asked Amy to marry him and she said yes! A point of happiness was when Meg delivered her babies! I would recommend this book o others, but prefeberly women because guys will not enyjoy it or get enought out of it!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Our 7th Reading Selection
Review: Little Women was our reading selection for October 2002. We thought this timeless classic story of four sisters was wholesome and heartwarming.

This coming of age story that was inspired by the author's real life family teaches family values and morals. Each of the girls have their own set of problems but through love and understand they learn the lessons of life.

All of us agree that the character were well written and the story is one that will stay in your heart long after you have read the same page. A few of us have read the many times and we all highly recommend it.

Rating: 5 stars
