The Complete Little Women: Little Women, Good Wives, Little Men, Jo's Boys by Louisa May Alcott

sandra_aec's review

3.0

Every single one of these four books are lovely to read and clearly written to educate about proper qualities for both men and women. The little stories were fun to read, some a bit harder than others, due to the old style of English. I think if I'd read all the stories separately over a couple of years I would have appreciated them more. However, being that I read them all in one e-book as one large story, at times I got tired of the stories as they all seemed to be build up quite the same. Especially the first two books (about the March women) and the last one (how Jo's boys turned out) I liked the best. The third one was a bit dull for me, as the book seemed to lack a goal of where it was going. It felt more like a bundle of short stories.

Little Women, or the Little Women series in general, is described as a classic for a good reason. I can't tell you how many times I've read these books (well, Little Women and Jo's Boys certainly), and I still absolutely love them. Actually, it's because of these books that I want to read Pilgrim's Progress, ironically. Anyway, suffice it to say that they're amazing, and well worth the read.
P.S. I'm also surprised that more people don't know about Little Men. I liked it just as much as Little Women.
