It's a sweet book but feels a bit like a sermon at times

This dramatisation was lovely production, really well read and nicely abridged. I found Jo and Laurie's moment cementing their adult friendship quite moving.

Well written but did not withstand the test of time. Perfect for when it was written, but reading it in 2023 was not a fun experience. Preachy, somewhat sexist, very Christian. Perhaps it should have been split up into multiple children's books instead. But it wasn't. It was over 500 boring pages of in your face morals and how we should settle. I do think Alcott was a great writer, especially for the time period, but I just would not recommend this book to anyone born in the 21st century.

I truly did not like this book. I like Jo and I like that it is about sisters but it just felt like it was constantly lecturing at me rather than telling a story.
