I actually really enjoyed this! I mostly bought it because it's gorgeous and it's part of the beautiful Puffin in Bloom collection (yes, I'm that kind of reader -ugh, so superficial), but I ended up loving it. It's always interesting to read books that you wouldn't normally pick up. Little Women is an interesting way to dive into another time, where women had different purposes and were expected to behave in certain ways. Happy to live in 2016 (2017 almost), but really interesting to read this. ...more

3.5/5. I think it's a classic for a reason, since there are parts that still hold up very well now, but there were also parts that reflected the spirit of that time a lot, which quite irritated me. I did like the story, at times, and I'm very curious about the upcoming film :) ...more

3.5*

Started reading this book again because of a group read and very fond memories.
In the beginning some adjusting was required. This story has a very different pacing and build-up as contemporary stories and I was first shocked at how often the words queer and gay were used. But this book was obviously this book was written before (homo)sexuality came with a bunch of labels. Because of this, it was refreshing and sometimes frustrating experience. The first because of the suggestion of things i ...more

Oh, wat een heerlijk sfeertje heeft dit boek toch! Zo leuk, zien hoe de personages opgroeien. Erg leuk ook dat er aan een eind een terugblik is op hoe het in het begin van het boek was, dan realiseer je je pas goed hoe alle gebeurtenissen die je met ze hebt meegemaakt ze tot een volwassenere staat van zijn hebben gevormd.

Heel veel zin om door te lezen in de andere delen qua sfeer! (En sowieso 'moet' ik boek 2 voordat ik de film kan kijken natuurlijk!) ...more

I have some conflicting feelings on this one.. It’s a sweet book and should of course be seen as a product of it’s time. Sure, children’s classics tend to be somewhat moralising and usually I don’t mind (I mean I looooove Anne of Green Gables) but this was just of the charts preachy with very little plot... The fact that the original title was ‘Little Women and Good Wives’ probably should have tipped me of; and it was exactly the ‘be a good little christian wife’ nonsense that really got on my n ...more

Wat een verrukkelijk verhaal. Als kind heb ik deel 1 vele malen gelezen, en nu dan toch eindelijk beide delen. Ik had moeite met de onderdanige positie van de vrouwen, maar dat was eenmaal zo in die tijd.

Het boek had op sommige momenten enorm veel vaart, en was op andere momenten zo traag als wat.

Ik vond het fijn dat het verhaal zo onvoorspelbaar was, ik had niet kunnen raden dat het zo zou eindigen.

Ik ga de meisjes March echt missen!
