Book Reviews of Little Women (Signet Classics)

Book Review: "Little Women" is a classic
Summary: 4 Stars

I love this book, well at least when I was a little girl and now. The story is very elegant and classic and it's a beautiful story which needs to be told. I enjoyed the movie too, though the book's probably a lot better. It's a classic story about four young sisters growing up during the Civil War in New England. It's about their hardships and triumpths as they grow up and become women. Their mother, Marmee teaches them that their beauty will one day leave them, but it cannot take their wisdom, humor or moral courage. Like that. It's by a woman named Lousia May Alcott who lived in Concord, Mass during the time period and wrote about the March girls which were based on her real family. Lousia worked as a governess, servant and seamstress before becoming a writer. "Little Women" is her most famous book to date. I loved this book. I'm a big Little Women buff. I think very highly of the story and I can find a lot of good things about the book. Well, there's the nurturing and wise Meg, the indepedent and tomboyish and strong-willed Jo who dreams of becoming a writer, the sweet and quite and loving Beth probably the best and most perfect out of all of them, and the sweet and michevious and beautiful Amy who is very confident and aritsitic and even though she's a little vain at first, becomes more mature as she becomes a young woman. Some people think Amy's spoiled and a snob, but this is not true. Amy's sweet and a sweetheart and a good person with a kind heart, and her loving nature and positive nature brings Laurie, the Lawerence boy out of his shell and he falls in love with her. I really like Amy, my favorite character other then the spirted and talented Jo who becomes a writer and makes her dreams come true. This book is very inspiring and even though it came out one hundered years ago, is a good story that deserves to be told to the world and to all little girls. I disagree when people that about Amy, I think she's a sweet girl who is very real. I love this book, it's so beautiful.
