Little Men: Life at Plumfield With Jo's Boys

Rating:
Summary: A childhood favorite that lasts
Review: "Little Men" was one of my childhood favorites (I found "Little Women" too sad), and I was pleased to find on rereading it that it's almost as much fun for me now as it was when I was ten. Loosely plotted, it's a good bedtime book, because each chapter or couple of chapters presents a complete vignette. After all, you don't always want to be reading a book that keeps you up till all hours! Life at Plumfield is almost idyllic, with just enough conflict to keep things moving along. When I was a child, I longed for a museum like theirs, and a miniature cast-iron stove, and all kinds of things--the book was wonderful for my imagination. N.B.: I tried reading it to my boys, and even though it's about boys, they were bored, so it may be a girl book.

Summary: Readings from the 1950s
Review: As an old reader, occasionally I wish to reread one of the favorites from years ago. The ancient beloved illustrated classics enjoyed as a child seem to have "stuck with me," to the to the extent that even now I think of "firebrand Nan" from Little Men, and "grasp the nettle," as she did. One reviewer mentioned Jo's "maturation;" part of such growth may be the ability to somehow nurture such "firebrands," without changing their personal character. Jo herself seemed to prefer the un-dependent, untrammelled free spirits among the 'children.'

Summary: UMMM.... OK, But the first one is much better
Review: I have read Little Men a dozen times over and each time I either find something new...or just love the parts I already read! It is excellent, with great morals, and true-to-life characters.

Summary: Wow!
Review: I loved Little Men ! I didn't care for Little Women, but Little Men is a book I hope to read to my kids. I read it after seeing the video. The book is a lot more detailed and interesting. I just think it is the greatest and can't wait to read Jo's Boys! P.S. I am not 1, but I don't want to share my age

Summary: Excellent book for you and your kids.
Review: I read this book 14 years ago and I can still remember how I felt while I was reading it. It was a book that touched my life and changed it in a certain way. I hope my kids will read it someday (when I have some) and that yours do it too because, when you are young, it teaches you kindness, compasion, respect, courage and many other things that we should all have in our lives.

Summary: Excellent Children/Young Adult Book
Review: I read this book to do a critical analysis of it. I enjoyed the stories of the boys and all that went on in their lives. I would recommend this book to any child or young adult that is looking for an interesting and easy read.

Summary: This is a great book!!
Review: I really enjoyed this book. i don't like to re-read books because i know what will happen, but i did re-read Little Men. Little Women was too boring and not up beat enough for me. Little Men made me laugh and cry. Although Plumfield is almost too perfect, it is a great book for young readers. It's funny for me as a girl to be able to see how boys act sometimes. When I am a mother, i will deinitely read this book to my children.

Summary: Really fun and exciting to read!
Review: I really liked this book because it was really exciting and fun all at the same time! I mean, the characters in the book were just so fun to be with and when you are reading the book, it almost seems like you are there with them. I just really enjoyed the book because Louis wrote it so well! I've also read Jo's Boy and that one was good too, but somehow, I couldn't finish Little Women. But Little Men, was written exceptionally well!
