Thank goodness I managed to finish this book by the end of 2014. I began this months ago, but ended up putting it down and picking it up again in October. It wasn't that it was necessarily boring, it just felt like a very mellow and long book and there were pages were nothing much happened.

On the plus side, I love the sisters (especially Jo of course) so much and Laurie.
I also loved the film version with Winona Ryder, Christian Bale and Kirsten Dunst and I'd recommend that if you haven't alread ...more

One of my favorite childhood books. I always wanted to be Jo. After visiting the Alcott home in Massachusetts and learning more about the life of the author, I wished I had been Jo.

Though this book is over 140 years old I think it still has relavent morals and is still entertaining to read. If I had sisters this book would have been even more touching. The book definetly ended differently than I expected which was actually kind of nice. At the same time though, I think the way things turned one was strange but maybe at the time this book was written it was not so. This is one classic definetly worth picking up.
