A review by emmabeckman
Little Women by Louisa May Alcott

5.0

Ahhh so good! The cast of the newest movie was sooo perfect, they definitely matched up so well with the characters in the book. I watched the Winona Ryder/Christian Bale version of the movie when I was younger, and I definitely didn't understand why it was better that Jo ended up with Bhaer at the end (I was probably in middle school at the time so...). The in December I saw the new version with Saorise Ronan as Jo and it was so so so good that I wanted to read the book! And to be honest, now that I'm 23 I'm HERE for Amy/Laurie and Jo/Bhaer (even if the movie made him much younger than his character). I really enjoyed reading the original story lines and comparing them with the movie. I think the WR/CB version was a little more true to the story, but the new version definitely made it more relatable and acceptable to modern audiences while maintaining the themes of the original story. When I have children, I will definitely get them to read this book when they are younger than I am now at my first time reading it!
