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.

This book just took so long to move forward and is the epitome of a slow burn. I adore the classic masterpiece that this book exhibits along with its modern taste. The relatability to how God works in a practical life setting is a thing of beauty and one that feels inviting. 
I am not sure of when I’ll find this book back in my hands with tea at my side but I cannot deny the simple beauty of such saturated perspectives.

I was already familiar with the story and characters from watching the 1994 film countless times, and it was a pleasure to finally "read" the original book. I enjoyed getting to know more fleshed out versions of all the characters. The relationships between them are lovely. I really enjoyed Alcott's style of writing; it's simple, yet she's able to convey a lot of imagery and emotion in just a few carefully chosen adjectives or verbs. There were a couple points where the book felt preachy, but overall I appreciated the themes and the points Alcott was making about personal growth, integrity, charity, and family.
