I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The story was well written and very sweet. The only thing that kept me from giving it 5 stars was that it was a sequel and the author assumes you know certain things about certain characters. Having not read Little Women, I found some parts confusing. I suggest reading Little Women first. This book, however, offers readers a wholesome story that is very enjoyable.
This was a nice cozy book, and Louisa May Alcott is truly a good writer, however this book is NOTHING compared to the greatness of Little Women. Not only that, but John Brooke died, and I'm really not ok with that.

Hombrecitos es como una abrazo cálido. Jo ahora tiene una escuela donde cuida a un montón de niños, y entre travesuras, risas y lecciones, la historia te atrapa. Es más calmado que Mujercitas, pero igual te deja con el corazón calentito. Los personajes son un amor, y Jo sigue siendo esa figura fuerte y genial que todos amamos. Sí, es un poquito idealista, pero es perfecto para algo bonito que te llene el corazoncito.

A charming sequel to Little Women! I wasn't sold at first, mainly because it felt a little different from Little Women and I also missed those characters. Once I got to know the characters in this though (especially all the young boys!), I really enjoyed it. I listened to it, which I felt was perfect; I loved having any their adventures and lessons learned playing in the background. There were so many characters to root for, but Dan was my favorite and I loved his character development. I would definitely recommend this.
Little Women is one of my favorite books of all time, and when I came across this sequel at the library, I was thrilled—I had no idea that Alcott wrote any companion novels to Little Women. (And I was even happier that it was pretty much all about my favorite March sister, Jo!) Well, I took it home and read it and it was amazing.
I think I liked it for many of the same reasons I liked Little Women:
--The characters are human, and they have strong suits and weak suits, triumphs and failures, virtues and shortcomings
--The plot is pretty much a series of little escapades and incidents, with a few things tying it all together
--And the 'family' dynamic of the big bunch of characters is really fun to read about. Most of them aren't related to each other, since the setting is a big school for young boys run by Jo March, but they love each other all the same and act like brothers.
Now I have to read Jo's Boys, the third book in the series! Yay!
