A review by bioniclib
Little Women by Louisa May Alcott
3.0
Ms. Alcott creates some endearing characters and does so with a wit that was unexpected, at least for me.
While it was well written, indeed, I found the story dragging a bit. There's only so much talk of needlepoint and bonnets that I can give a hoot about. Luckily, the protagonist, Jo, was a feisty lass that was ahead of her time. She was independent and rough around the edges. I like her very much. Sadly, I can't say the same for here sisters.
Reading this as a guy gave me a new appreciation for the need for more women authors. It was a wonderfully written story but I found it difficult to get into at times. But only at times. For the most part it was engaging and I was able to get lost in the story. And that's why I read, to get lost.
