i don’t read classics as often. i find them harder to read, so to get into classics, i tried to reread one of my favorite classics— and it still stands out.

little women is filled with comfort characters with diverse personalities. i got attached to most of the characters which barely happens. 

people might get overwhelmed by the length of this book— and i totally get that. my copy has 507 pages as my average pages last year were around 350 pages. reading little women was definitely a huge move, but worth it.

if you’re trying to get into classics, i highly recommend reading little women.

I absolutely loved this book! The story was delightful and had an interesting array of well-developed characters. I enjoyed the detailed, slow pace of the novel and getting to spend time with the March sisters and Laurie as they grew up. The story was both charming and hopeful but at the same time did not shy away from the harsh realities of life in Civil War America.
I cannot fault this book - 'Little Women' is definitely a new favourite of mine!

This was such a comforting, heart-warming and charming book. I really enjoyed reading Little Women, but I prefer the first part to the second part. It was great to see how all the March sisters chose their own paths in life and found their own happiness.
