Customer Reviews

Do you agrree?
In Good Wives, Meg is married to a poor man. she is just trying to get used to married life, especially since she has children later. Amy has grown to be quite like her older sister(Meg), and is off in Europe. since Beth had scarlett fever she seems to become weaker, and in a daze every day. Laurie becomes too fond of Jo, so she goes to New York. Both Jo, and Amy get married later, and have children. the book was written wonderfully, and descriptively. It took on a better understanding of what both, life, and marriage should be based on all different perspectives. It touched my heart deeply. It's a great book, but you should read the first part of Little Women first

Little Women- Part Two
Just to be clear, Little Women was originally published in two parts: Little Women, and Good Wives. They've since been sold mostly in one volume. If you remember the death of Beth, Jo's experiences in New York, and Meg as a married woman, you have already read this. I enjoyed reading them as separate volumes (it allows me to pretend that Beth lives and Jo ends up with Laurie), but this isn't how this book is usually sold. But, contrary to what some another review has said, this isn't some gimmicky attempt by publishers to rip off readers, this is how the book was originally sold.

Both halves of this story are lovely, definitely worth reading.

Deceptive advertising on the book description - this is just a REPEAT!
The book jacket says "continue their story" but this book is just the second part of the original "Little Women" book excerpted out. It adds nothing new. It ends at exactly the same place in the story. The chapters titles are the same as "Little Women." I bought it because I thought it was a sequel. I feel completely ripped off. I don't understand how the previous reviewers missed this essential point!!!!
