„little women“ was one of the few books i read after watching the movie, but i think in this case it actually helped me to understand the book better. i absolutely love the movie and finding parts of it in the book (or rather the other way around) was always so cool. because this was a classic, it was hard for me to get through sometimes, but given the circumstances, i found the language actually quite easy to read. having seen the movie and knowing the characters from the start has given me a motivation to keep reading.
the one thing that has to be said is that louisa may alcott created such amazing characters in this book and i cannot begin to express my love for them. the march sister are one of the most beautifully yet realistically composed characters and it’s so cool to be able to find yourself in each of them and to go on their journey of growing up. i could write a whole essay on them right here and right now but i’ll spare you that.
the book also helped me understand the motives of the characters in the movie a lot more. i always thought jo was a much better fit for laurie than amy could ever be, but after reading the book i’ve gained a new perspective and i have possibly changed my mind.
these characters really grew on me, and though it’s been a sometimes challenging read, i’m kinda sad to let them go.

It's very clean. It seems like some people are putting tags in without any reason at all.amandas_bookshelf's review against another edition

In the first part, the chapters are often contained little stories, for example decribing the events of one day. I liked the that the children where not perfect and their faults where discussed.
The second part does get a good bit preachy and every one should be married with children which i did not enjoy as much.
