A review by kimiloughlin
Jo's Boys: 150th Anniversary Edition by Louisa May Alcott

2.0

Took me a few tries to finally get through this. I felt the chapters to be more disjointed than either Little Women or Little Men, almost like individual publications that were put together for the purpose of a book (and maybe that is how they were originally published, I'm not sure). I wasn't as interested in the high jinks and lovelorn adventures of Jo's now older boys (especially compared to the second half of Little Women which was decidedly less interesting than the first but I cared more for the characters). I switched to audio to finally get it off my TBR and enjoyed it a little more. The second half was much better, with all those individual story lines coming together in the typically sweet Alcott way. I did think it was funny that Alcott ended it with a note saying that this is the END, she is DONE writing about the March family. Perhaps that came through in the writing a little bit too :)
