Customer Reviews

I can always trust Amazon to have what I need immediately!
It was great to find the book I needed quickly and for a great price as always. Thanks Amazon!

One of those obvious classics
I originally read this book in elementary school. I don't know what possessed me to pay the book order money to do so, but it proved to be well worth it.

This book is a classic for many obvious reasons. There is a reason why books like this endure so long. On one hand it is simply a great story about a group of sisters who are very different and yet care for each other beyond anything.

Then we have the Civil War story. Granted, the story doesn't exactly focus in great detail on the war, but we get a good look at what life on the homefront would have been like.

Thirdly, this is a book about people. Louisa May Alcott does a marvelous job of getting inside her characters' heads and exploring their relationships.

Definitely a girly book, but then again there are so many. Romantic, funny, and heart-breaking, everyone should read this.

Little Women
I have seen the movie, both the old and new version. I truly like the story, but as a male student required to read this prior to 8th grade, I think I would have rather read "Little Men."
