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 was my first time reading Little Women. It took me 6 months! While reading it I really enjoyed the characters and the writing. However, there isn't much plot and what is there is very slow. So when I would put it down, I wasn't very motivated to pick it back up. It is still a four star read as I really did love the characters and was very emotionally invested by the end. I think if I reread it I will try to find an audio version.

giulianalb99's review against another edition
Me ha parecido un libro MUY aburrido en el que no pasa absolutamente nada. Tenía entendido que era súper importante para el feminismo y no sé qué más tonterías pero NADA QUE VER, y sí: YA SE QUE ES UN LIBRO ESCRITO EN EL AÑO MIL OCHOCIENTOS Y PICO pero que se considere como algo feminista hoy en día me parece un insulto y me ha hecho enfadar bastantes veces.
La familia March está compuesta de 4 hermanas las cuales una me cae peor que la otra y la madre ya ni contarlo. Lo he tenido que dejar porque me rehúso a perder mi tiempo pudiendo leer otras cosas mejores.
Spoiler
Jo y Amy siguen cada una unas carreras en particular para después al final dejarlas para casarse… No, lo siento pero no. Básicamente, el libro es sobre lo malo que es ser pobre (cuando encima ellas no lo eran) y que si no te casas eres una solterona y lo único bueno en la vida es conseguirse un buen marido y ser una buena ama de casa 🙄🙄🥱🥱🥱😒😒.La familia March está compuesta de 4 hermanas las cuales una me cae peor que la otra y la madre ya ni contarlo.

“I've got the key to my castle in the air, but whether I can unlock the door remains to be seen.“
The story follows the lives of the four March sisters—Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy—and details their passage from childhood to womanhood.
The story is so beautifully written. I loved the detailed description of all the sisters and their relationships with each other. Each character was unique and lovable. The story is very easy to get into and follow, I definitely would recommend it as a start to getting into classics, but the story is so powerful and meaningful that I think everyone should read it. Definitely has become one of my favourite books I’ve ever read!

Maybe 4.75, but I'm rounding up. This book made me cry multiple times, even though I've seen just about every adaptation multiple times (dozens for the 90s version). I wasn't expecting to be so emotional about a story I was already so familiar with.
I was also surprised how different it was from the adaptations, since multiple adaptations contain plot points that appear nowhere in the book, and the order of plot points was changed.
I loved getting to read the parts that I've never seen in any adaptation, and falling more in love with this family. I'm so glad I saved this one for Christmas! It was the perfect cozy read.
