helenafaustina's review against another edition
5.0
Another beautiful story by [a:Louisa May Alcott|1315|Louisa May Alcott|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1200326665p2/1315.jpg]! This copy I read is both [b:Eight Cousins|14570|Eight Cousins (Eight Cousins, #1)|Louisa May Alcott|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1328864060l/14570._SY75_.jpg|2905864] and it's sequel [b:Rose in Bloom|17533|Rose in Bloom (Eight Cousins, #2)|Louisa May Alcott|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1344269387l/17533._SY75_.jpg|2080617], so I'm going to tie them together in my review.
I love how it starts off in a happy-go-lucky setting seemed to be written for amusement, and turns into a deep story with a lot of lessons to be taken away from it. One of these, I think, was showing how parents shouldn't neglect the growth of their children, and the author shows this by telling how spoiling your children isn't good for them, as well as the extreme opposite isn't either. As always, Louisa May Alcott puts it in the best way possible. Another thing I got out of this is that a relationship can't survive on love alone, and that there is so much more to it. This applies not only to romantic relationships, but any kind, such as friendship, or a parent/child relationship, going along with the first thing I mentioned. A very important lesson, especially for today.
I would definitely recommend these two books!
Note: Although I loved this, I wouldn't recommend buying this particular edition. There are a lot of errors in grammar, the print is very small, and the cover doesn't match the story at all.
