Little Men by Louisa May Alcott

2.0

I actually found it a chore to finish this book and sped up the audio version to hurry through it. After enjoying Little Women, which is rich in family life, growing pains, and mature themes, I found Little Men to be too childish for me. Jo March-Bhaer seems a shadow of her former energetic self - I guess she's been "domesticated" by her marriage. Since I never liked spoiled Amy March, it's unfortunate to see her daughter being set up to be "a princess" also. I cannot imagine modern day boys reading this with all it's moralizing and preaching.
