5.0 out of 5 stars one of my ultimate favourite books of all time, 4 Nov 2005

"sagittarius_cutie" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Little Women (Penguin Popular Classics) (Paperback)

There are hardly sufficient words to describe this book. Right from the start, you are taken into the hearts of the march family and helped to see their hopes, despairs and everyday life. Everyone can find a sister to identify with, and each character is so realistic it is hard to believe when you put the book down that they are not really with you, telling the story themselves. As a semi-autobiographical book, I have never read anything better.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, inspiring story, 19 Sep 2003

Miss Beret "cosybooklover" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Little Women (Puffin Classics) (Mass Market Paperback)

Little Women by Louisa May Allcott

Little Women is a brilliant story set in America in the 1800s. Mr March has gone to war, leaving his penniless family at home: his wife, a caring and benovelent women who knows her daughters inside out, Meg, the eldest daughter who is mature and sensible of their situation, Jo, the daughter who longs to be a boy but trys her best to get along with everyone, Beth, quiet but beautiful and who makes the tiniest thing seem like a great excitement and Amy, the youngest, naughty but loveable.
This book takes us through the joy and sadness of a poor family and you are drawn in from the first page. It is very inspiring as well as emotional and it is a lovely story.
I think it is suitable for ages 8+ and it is a brilliant read for both children and adults, especially if you like books set in olden times. An essential book for every collection. I give it 5/5.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is an absolutely brilliant book, 9 April 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Little Women (Penguin Popular Classics) (Paperback)

After hearing about this book from a Tv programme and my family i thought what was all the fuss about. Then i read it and i knew straight away. This book sends out so many different emotions, in some chapters you can be laughing and in others you can be crying. This is why i loved the book so much. It tells the story about 4 sisters who go through different stages of their lives and who suffer and enjoy like everyone else in the world its not some fantasy story. I would recommend this book to everyone its a must read.
