Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A very dull read and not a classicI book this book at a charity shop. I had never read it but had seen TV and film dramatisations and it was on my list of books to read, along with Jane Eyre, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, and Shirley (Brontes). I found the story and characters in Little Women very boring and it seemed to take an age to read. Thank goodness I'd read the Bronte books first; these are the 'classics' Rating: - dullI started this book with high hopes; i had read the reviews here and was convinced that i had an enjoyable read before me (many have even stated that it is the greatest book ever written). In fact, i found it dull and tedious; every chapter has a minor event in it, ending in a patronising moral. I ended up skimming the book and giving it to charity. The worst book i've read in a while. Rating:  - Little women, good wivesLouisa May Alcott wrote many books, from her "blood and thunder" tales to heartwarming novels about teens growing up. But there's something special about "Little Women," a fictionalized account of her own family's growing pins. Thewarmly realistic stories, sense of comedy and tragedy, and insights into human nature make the romance, humor and fun little anecdotes of "Little Women" come alive. The four March girls -- practical Meg, rambunctious Jo, sweet Beth and childish artist Amy -- live in genteel New England poverty with their Marmee, while their father is away in the Civil War. The girls don't let lack of money hamper their fun and happiness. But their world starts to expand when Jo befriends "poor little rich ...

I found this unbearably pious and dull. I love so many children's books - like Anne of Green Gables etc - but this one is soooo worthy I couldn't bear it. Tedious++++. Good Wives and Little Men I enjoyed a little more, or maybe I was used to the style by then. I'll probably still give this to my daughter to read but not till I'm confident she loves books and won't be put off forever. Rating: - love itim 17 and i've been reading this book since i was a child and i still love it. it was written a century ago so some of it may be hard to understand but i rate it the best book i've ever read. if u read this book u must read good wives, the sequel as it is as good as the first and still follows the girls. the other sequels little men and jos boys are good too. little women is a timeless classic and all young girls and adults will love it. |
