This is a classic. I wanted to read this because I feel like everyone has read it except me. Dumb reason. The story is about the March family who live in New England in the late 1800’s. The book is based on the Alcott family. The book is actually a combination of 2 parts. It is almost 500 pages long. The writing is very good. The story is very lame. I had to force myself to read it. There were some Chapters I enjoyed. But for the most part, it was a struggle for me to get through. I am glad I read it because now I can say I have. It did portray the era in an interesting light. These people had nothing to do. Their life was boring. Especially if you are poor (and they are). The sisters are interesting. Jo is the focus of the story (really Louisa…should be an autobiography classification).Everyone loves her character. I think she is OK. The older daughter, (Meg) marries the neighbors professor (Brooks). She is an OK character. Beth is the weak one. Very family oriented. Sad that she dies. Amy is the youngest. I don’t like her. I find it very hard to swallow that she marries Laurie and Jo (Lauries real love) handles it so well. That story line is pretty hard to believe. I am glad I read this but it is definitely not one of my favorites

Wonderful book. I love this edition. Great book to read with your daughters or classroom. I just finished a book club with 6 5th grade girls and they LOVED it.
