It is rag-tag and episodic, as the author herself freely admits, but genuinely involving. It gets dreadfully sentimental at many points, but so does Dickens.

    <body><![CDATA[I have always enjoyed these classic books.  They were originally written for older children and the easy language and innocent themes reflect this.  This is the 3rd in the Little Women series and follows the lives of grown-up Jo, her husband and the 12 boys and 2 girls that she teaches in her boardi...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/72207222">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[My intro to Alcott. I was sick at the time (Rocky Mountain Spotted Tick Fever!) and this really helped me feel that everything wasn't hopeless. I don't know if I can explain that, but it is the case. Several of Jo's pupils overcome hardship and adversity in a way I could appreciate, I suppose.

    <body><![CDATA[Another one I liked as a kid, however as an adult I couldn't even get through it when I tried to re-read it. Worse, I couldn't even finish listening to the *audiobook* version! Either Alcott knew nothing about boys, or boys in the 19th century were a different breed of creature altogether than they ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/69958227">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I like this one better than Little Women but not as much as Jo's Boys. I adore Dan from the moment he slouches in, and Tommy Bangs reminds me of my own boy. There's not as much overt moralizing here as in LW, and the scenes of domestic life are somehow a little more vibrant in their cheerful chaos. ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/75811438">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Once again, I found this book in Advisory class and I think that this book is pretty good. It is a light-hearted story about a young boy who is orphaned and moves to this household filled with a couple and many other young boys who are friendly and caring as well. It is somewhat of an easy read and ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/51608706">more...</a>]]></body>
