Little Men follows "Jo's Boys", as they grow up. Plumfield has developed from the small school for a handful of boys to a college and Jo's boys are on the verge of becoming adults. "Little Men" follows them in their lives as they try to become worthy men, find love and live through the occasional hardships and desasters of life.

As with "Little Woman" and "Jo's Boys", I really liked reading Little Men. The writing is just as wonderful as in the two preceding books. Learning about what happened to Jo's boys when they grew up is very interesting.

While I enjoyed this installment much more than I did Little Men, none of them can compare to Little Women in my mind.
None the less, a sweet tale in the history of the March family.

This was so much better than Little Men - mainly because I finally got what I wanted, scenes with Meg and Amy. Also it was nice to see the kids grown up. Not thrilled with how everyone's lives turned out but that's more realistic than a happy ending for all.
