not bad but not good either, but this comes from someone whos reading preferences lay very far from this book's style. i mostly read this as a way to challenge myself into reading different things and because i was interested in the drama i knew from the movie adaptation. however, i was not aware that this is actually a series, and that the movie is mostly based of the second part of it, and so i got stuck with spoiled children (looking right at amy), lowkey boring tales and a religious propaganda. still there were some captivating and wholesome moments, but i am not sure i will move on to the next book, specially since i almost dnfed it when my favorite march almost died and now she is sick again on the second book's summary.

This book is the book that got me back into reading when I was 11 years old and had not finished a book since I was probably 8 or 9 years old. The modern books that were being written for my age range didn't appeal to me as they were all about fairies and unicorns and I guess I wanted to be a bit more grown up. I should add that I read the original Little Women not the version that includes Good Wives and I have since tried to read it and found that I could no longer persist with Alcott's writing style. But I remember loving Little Women when I was reading it.
Unlike most, I wasn't overly fond of Jo. I think she was just so different to me that I found it hard to relate. I oddly loved Amy, more because I found her entertaining rather than because I actually liked her character. Beth was a bit sickly sweet but I grew to love her (probably because of how fondly I remember the book). Meg is everything I want to be in an older sister. I read this book around the time my brother was born and I remember thinking that there was nothing I wanted more than for him to love me the way that Jo, Beth and Amy loved Meg.
If it hadn't been for Little Women I don't know that I would ever have replenished my love for reading. And I can honestly say that if I didn't have my books, I think I'd be a different person.

A genuinely lovely story, a typical old time tale, wholesome and reminded me of my childhood.
