Summary: It was great!!!!!
Review: I really liked this book. I tried reading "Little Women" and I couldn't get into it. "Little Men" was different. There was always something happening with all of these little boys running around. I would strongly suggest reading this book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I really got caught up in this book
Review: I really loved this book! I got so caught up in the lives of Nan, Daisy, Nat, Dan, Demi and all the other wonderful characters in this book. I found myself wishing that Plumfield existed, such a wonderful school. If Plumflied did exist I would go there in a heart beat. This is a must read for anyone, especially if you are feeling that most books these days don't satisfy you. I highly recomend this book to anyone.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good
Review: I thought this book was enchanting. It was wonderfully written. I read Little Women two years ago. I think it was very well put together. It kept my attention, and that is very hard to do!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: You'll laugh and cry
Review: It is truly a shame that the highest number of stars you can rate a book is five, because I would give this book a million stars if I could.It is truly one of the two best books I have ever read. (The other off course is Little Women).

Little men is a book that can make you both laugh and cry. The morals inside are more useful than any of the ten commandments. Louisa May Alcott has definetly done it again.

Without giving away everything, these are some of the reasons why you will enjoy the book:

1) You see Jo grow up. She is no longer the wild child who's impetuous and androgynous character often lead her to trouble. She inherits maternal qualities that you never expected Jo to have.

2) You will get more insight on the professor. Although I truly wanted Teddy and Jo to get together, this book made me think otherwise. Professor Bhaer, with Jo's help, makes a delightful father to the boys. He is the one you will get most of the life morals from.

3) The boys in Plumfield are definetly the key figures in the book. They create both the mischievious and melancholy stories. As I said, 'you'll laugh and cry'. Reading about these boys will make everyone reflect on their own lives.

4) Teddy grows up too. If you enjoyed the young scandulous Teddy, you'll enjoy the new one even more. In little men, Teddy (like Jo) has grown into a real mature father.

There are plenty more exciting things in the book. It is truly a classic masterpiece recommended to anyone who needs a lift in their spirit.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An enjoyable read, regardless of your age!
Review: Little Men by Louisa May Alcott Once again, an emotional journey that takes you into the hearts, and souls of precious people, especially the children, but even the adults who haven't quite left their childhood. This novel is simple with its man against himself conflict, yet sweet, and a reminder of the trials and tribulations of growing up. You have no choice but to feel compassion for the boys and girls of Jo's house, and the innocent that they maintain throughout the book. After having read three books by the above authour, I am eagerly about to devour another as Alcott continually supplies the reader with innovative, and intriguing emotions, faces, and experiences.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Trilogy
Review: Little Men is (for those who do not know) a sequel to Little Women. Little Men is a wonderful and enticing book about the main character in the previous book, Jo. Jo and her husband are running a school for boys although there are few exceptions. Most of the book is a about their adventures, and Jo picks up many more people to live and learn at her school, for she is running a boarding school. The book will warm your heart right from the begining and you will read on not stopping even a moment. : )

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: "Alcott, you are great"
Review: Little Men is the funniest of all the three books. I like this book, but not as much as the Jo's Boys or Little Women. Little Men begins with 'Nat as the 1st ch. If you have seen the movie and think it is great, wait till you read the book. The novel is much more sophisticated and very touching. The movie basically concentrates on Nat and Dan, but the novel is about every single boy and girl. If you've seen the movie and didnt like it, guess what, try the novel! My fav't characters are everybody. Old Chirper(Nat), Dan, Demi, Daisy, Tommy, Franz, Commodore(Emil), Nan, Princess(Bess), little Ted, Rob, Jack..too many people. If you like the story of boys and girls, this is one of the books to read. If this is the Alcott's 1st book you've read, TRY ALL! ALCOTT IS THE BEST! My fav't part is the LITTLE COOKSTOVE(iron). Its so neat, and how Daisy, Nat, Demi, Dan, Emil, Tommy, and dont forget our Teddy, and Rob, standing up for each others.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesome Little Men
Review: Little Men was a very well written book. It had many fun adventures, great characters, great dialog, and all in all it was an awesome book.

I loved the way the author wrote the little children's voices just right!! It just made me have to stop and laugh!

When you read this book it is not like reading, it is like watching a movie!! That is how well written this book really is!! You could even see the house and the rooms!! I know what every room looks like and how to get there!

I could see the boy's foot when he hurt it and I could see his face when the doctor had to fix it.

I love this book!! It is not a girly book like I thought it would be. In fact it is quite a boy book!! A boy or a girl could read this book and really enjoy it!!
I would recommend this book for ages 12 and up.

Summary: Definitely not a must read
Review: Little Men, is an average book. The whole story is about all these little orphans. There was Nat, Demi, Tommy, Dan, Franz, Emil, Ted, and little Rob. There was more but the girls are all stupid. It's a story about a bunch of orphans that have there own little special talents. The story is really a cute little story, but lacks a sense of plot. There's no action. I really think this book is so boring I fell a sleep every 5 minutes. Don't buy this book! If you don't like action and you like all that cute [stuff] read the counterpart, Little Women. Out of a 5 star review system, I'd give this book a 2.definetly not a must read. The only part I liked was the ending. The reason I liked the ending is because it was the end and I didn't have to read it anymore.
