This review is directed to all readers, but particuarly to "a reader from California." Just cause a book messes up on the cover....well, there's nothing wrong with that! Lots of illustrations make mistakes. I have seen illustrator's whose work is considered classic, yet they make small mistakes! And there happens to be nothing wrong with spinoffs! I liked these stories better then the orriginal! The orriginal was written to old fashiondly. And the girls were closer to my age in these stories, so I could relate to them!

This goes directly to " A reader from California" spin offs aren't always bad because this one is good . Plus it doesn't matter what the cover looks like ! Have you ever heard the saying "don't judge a book by its cover? I guess not because you are judging this book by its cover ! I've read the book and I think iot's one of the best books I've ever read ! So what if Jo is pretty and glamourous . So what if it doesn't look like a tomboy read the book and it even says Jo's a tomboy in the book and she is a little akward! I really like this book ! It's really cool ! It's sad , happy , and angry in some parts but, that's the best part of it !

I thought that this was a great book. It was about a girl who decides that she will live with her aunt, because she thinks that she fits the description best. I recommend it because you can relate the problems to your own, only in a different way.

This Portraits of Little Women book was not my absolute favorite but it was very good. It was about Jo March. Jo is a tomboy and doesn't like her great aunt but her parents make her visit her. Her aunt offers to adopt one of the girls and Jo decides to sacrfice herself.

I like this book because it shows that Jo would do anything to make sure that her sisters won't be adopted by her aunt but instead have herself adopted by her aunt because she thought that her sisters won't mind that. But instead she learns that her sisters do care about her and that she shouldn't "jump to conclusions".

This book was rather dull. It was kind of boring and the plot was dumb. This series tells about the Little Women sisters when they were 10 years old. BETH'S STORY was better. Amy and Meg were too.

I loved it,i couldn't put it down. I think everyone should read it.I wish all books could be this good.

I am a huge fan of Louisa May Alcott and have probably read Little Women ten times. In all fairness, I have not read this book, but how can anyone think that they can successfully get a spin-off out of one of the most beloved stories of all time? And, might I add, a very important detail that this book glosses over from the outset-- Jo was supposed to be plain and even awkward looking, not beautiful and glamorous like the girl on the cover.
