Little Women is my all-time favorite book. This book shows the reader how the girls in the story become real ladies without giving up their hopes and dreams. The author depicts real-life circumstances, good and bad. It has humor and love, hardships and trials. Most of all, the characters have common sense and good morals. This is the type of book to be read while being cuddled up with a blanket by the fire, all nice and cozy. If anyone wants a good, solid book to read while learning valuable lessons, I recommend this book 100%!

This is a fun lighthearted novel. I love getting into the family dynamics of the March family and feel like each character is given a fully fledged personality.

I listened to it on Audrey and the narration is really good.

I think I should have liked to read this when I was a child. 
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.

No Spoilers! This book was an incredibly interesting read. I went into it almost certain I was going to find it dreary, and I do admit some parts really were. Some chapters felt unnecessary, and many of them did not help me create bonds with the characters. With some of the main characters, I never really sparked with, which dulled how much I could enjoy it. The character development was absolutely splendid though, and the plot was plausible and was really nice to find respite in, to just fall in to. (I have to say, please keep in mind you will exit the book with a burning desire to eat pickled limes. I still want to.)
