I hadn't read this book in years but I loved it when I was a kid and I still love it. Aww. Even the end when it gets weird and too much about being a good wife, it's still good. Also this Penguin edition had really helpful footnotes and a really good introduction. Hooray!

This book is one of my old favorites, so when I got an e-reader application for my iTouch, it was one of the first books I downloaded. I read this a little each day while waiting to pick L. up from school - it's really convenient to have, because it fits right in my pocket and I don't have to carry a paperback around with me!

Ruh roh, another book I "didn't get". I'm not sure if it's because I need to take this work within the context of the time it was written, I don't have sisters, whatever the reason. I thought it was boring and preachy. It was quaint, though. A good read for a cold winter night with a cup of tea.

I tried so many times in my childhood and teen years to read this book and failed to get very far. I finally read it as an adult with a book group. I didn't really like it. It's too drippy sweet and sappy. I just don't understand the adoration that so many readers have for these four sisters in mid-19th century New England.
