I can't believe I waited so long to read this book. I love the movie and was worried the book would ruin it for me, and in some ways it has. There is so much more to the book that adds emotion and morals and depth.
I adore how much more we get to know about each sister in the novel. The movie is remarchably true to the book aside from a few small details like the timing of certain events. However the spaces in between scenes of the movie are so full of life I feel like I've only ever skimmed the story before.
I especially love the extra details we get as we learn about Mr. Lawrence, Mr. Bhaer, and John the tutor. They are much more fleshed out in the book and feel like real people. Even Mr. March is more well rounded.
This will definitely be a book I reread in future.
