5.0 out of 5 stars You'll fall in love with the characters as if you knew them. 9 July 1998

By A Customer

Format:Paperback

Rose Campbell is orphaned at age 13. She is left to her Uncle Alec, a kind man who is ahead of his time in thinking. She meets her seven cousins, all of whom are boys, and immediately becomes their queen. She has I beleive six aunts, each with its own individual character. When she arrives at "Aunt Hill" as the place is called due to all the aunts, she is a very pale, thin, and unhappy thing. Her uncle, Dr. Alec, tries an experiment for one year to get her healthy and happy. Some of the things he does would be shocking to that day and age, such as encouraging a girl, almost fourteen, to run, shout, and be strong! The very idea scandalous! The little chamber maid, Phebe, who herself is only a few years older than Rose, helps her to learn to be good, strong, and be merry in the face of unhappiness. The book is full of old morals which I enjoyed immensely. The old grammar and beleifs will surprise and amuse you. I recommend this book to people who like history, love a good novel rather than that sensation trash, or would just like to fall in love with the characters.

5.0 out of 5 stars A book i'll never stop reading 6 May 2006

By J. Cooper

Format:Paperback

Eight cousins is another job well done from Louisa May Alcott. Anyone who enjoyed the Little Women series should read this book, and it's sequel, Rose in Bloom.

Like Little Women, this book is full of the old morals that should never die, and yet has a light-heartedness that will make the young, and the young at heart, read it again and again!

5.0 out of 5 stars Pure corn! 30 April 2013

By Mrs VB Kelly

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

I really enjoy Louisa May Alcotts books, they are very old fashioned but still a good story for children today. This story is very corny but that's what I enjoy these stoies still have the old fashioned values I was taught as a child.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good fun

I had never heard of this book but enjoyed it very much. The main character is a very likable young girl and the plot is merely her escapades with her boy cousins. Read more

Loved reading this old friend. Enjoyed the story of the efforts of the characters to grow into better people and resist the silliness of bad taste and low standards. Recommended.
