3.5

CW/TW: Murder, death, prison
Age Rating: 12+

- The boys were still great. Tom was as crazy as ever. Dan, Demi and Nat were still my favourites. I liked Dan and Nat's character development. I liked that, when they realised what they had done, they though of Jo and Laurie, and what they would say.
- I really liked Emil. There wasn't that much on him in Little Men, but in Jo's Boys he did some pretty cool stuff.
- I thought the girls could have been mentioned more. I thought that Daisy and Nat were cute, but that was all that happened to her. Nan did some cool stuff though. I liked how she ended up. She is still as crazy as ever.
- Bess was still the all powerful and I LOVED itttttt.
- Josie and Ted were so chaotic
- The March sisters were great. I liked that Jo got back into writing and it was funny how much she disliked being "famous." Amy and Meg was so protective over their children it was funny.
- Laurie was as chaotic as usual. He and Jo during the play was so funny to me.
- The plot was fine. Emil and Nat had some drama, and I was a little upset about what happened to Dan. I thought it undid some of the things that happened in Little Men, like Jack's progress after stealing from Tommy.
- I thought that Stuffy could have gone through more character development.

yet another fantastic addition in the Little Women series. I loved reading about Jo's boys and the mischief they got up to even after growing older. I'm glad I read these books and I'm excited to watch the movie versions.
