This book satisfies all my cravings of sisterhood, from someone without.

It's classicism at its best, beautiful, elegant, and moving!
A charming story shows the links between sisters with different characters: Meg, the reasonable. Beth, the sweet. Amy, the mischievous, and Jo, the rebel. These personality differences allow the readers to identify with one another. I would say that these young girls are our mirrors.
This novel traces this family's journey during the American Civil War and describes life from a new perspective. Often funny, without ever sinking into sensational, the story is incredibly touching because the characters' lives are punctuated by joy and extraordinary moments of anxiety. We also enjoy the daily adventures of their existence and evolution since the four young girls will not be the same at the novel's end.
Little Women is a feminine family chronicle full of truth, beauty, good feelings, and emotions.

It's difficult to rate a book when you're not the target demographic. I'm not a preteen during the late 19th century, so a lot of what probably makes this book enjoyable just wasn't there for me.
It's not terrible, and it's very easy reading for a classic. But it's very preachy, it's pretty boring, I didn't think any of the characters were that interesting (including Jo), and in the end I was forcing myself to read it.

this put me in such a horrible reading slump i had to drop it 3/4 way in... i really wanted to like it but i can't finish it, it's been a chore more than an enjoyable experience. maybe i'll come back to it one day!
