Reviews with content warning for Grief - Little Women

i think this is a new comfort read for me.
„little women“ was one of the few books i read after watching the movie, but i think in this case it actually helped me to understand the book better. i absolutely love the movie and finding parts of it in the book (or rather the other way around) was always so cool. because this was a classic, it was hard for me to get through sometimes, but given the circumstances, i found the language actually quite easy to read. having seen the movie and knowing the characters from the start has given me a motivation to keep reading.
the one thing that has to be said is that louisa may alcott created such amazing characters in this book and i cannot begin to express my love for them. the march sister are one of the most beautifully yet realistically composed characters and it’s so cool to be able to find yourself in each of them and to go on their journey of growing up. i could write a whole essay on them right here and right now but i’ll spare you that.
the book also helped me understand the motives of the characters in the movie a lot more. i always thought jo was a much better fit for laurie than amy could ever be, but after reading the book i’ve gained a new perspective and i have possibly changed my mind.
these characters really grew on me, and though it’s been a sometimes challenging read, i’m kinda sad to let them go.

Little Women is my all-time favorite book. This book shows the reader how the girls in the story become real ladies without giving up their hopes and dreams. The author depicts real-life circumstances, good and bad. It has humor and love, hardships and trials. Most of all, the characters have common sense and good morals. This is the type of book to be read while being cuddled up with a blanket by the fire, all nice and cozy. If anyone wants a good, solid book to read while learning valuable lessons, I recommend this book 100%!

I think I should have liked to read this when I was a child.
In the first part, the chapters are often contained little stories, for example decribing the events of one day. I liked the that the children where not perfect and their faults where discussed.
The second part does get a good bit preachy and every one should be married with children which i did not enjoy as much.
