A review by nicolemkscott
Little Women by Louisa May Alcott
4.0
See, I'm not always a super big fan of Literary writing. I want so, so hard to sit and enjoy this book, as well as all of the other books written in the 1800s, but the truth of the matter is that I'm just not that person. It takes me ages to read it, when I can usually read a contemporary in two-three days.
That all being said, though, this was a wonderfully charming book. Just because it took me over a month did not mean I did not enjoy it, for it was sweet and very very important for the time period. All of the little women were beautiful characters full of light and love, and I was genuinely interested in all of their chapters. Laurie was my favorite character, of course, but that's just common sense.
I came to this book after watching Little Women (2019). I was pleasantly surprised to see how well the movie stuck to its book counterpart. I imagined the actors/actresses as the characters in the book with how well they matched. The scenes from the book felt as if they transferred them onto screen flawlessly.
I am sure if I was wiser and enjoyed older books as much as I wish I did, this would turn out to be one of my favorite books. Even though I am not that person, this book is the furthest from unmemorable, and will take a lot of the words and characters with me.
