5.0 out of 5 stars An American classic., March 15, 2009

By	Michael Blaski (Norfolk, VA United States) - See all my reviews

I am a 14-year-old girl and just got around to reading Little Women about a year ago. It is a great American classic written by Louisa May Alcott. It is about the four March sisters: Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy. They live in New England during the Civil War. They are poor, but they try to make the best of it as they grow and learn. We follow them through good times and bad as they, with help from Marmee and Laurie (their next-door neighbor), bear their own unique burdens. Meg's is poverty, Jo's is her temper, Beth's burden is not being able to play on a piano, and Amy's is her unaristocratic nose. (as funny as that sounds) You'll fall in love with Jo's oddities just as much as with Beth's gentil manners. It is a great book that everyone should read!

5.0 out of 5 stars Should be required reading, May 21, 2009

By	A Customer - See all my reviews

Although I finished this book several weeks ago, the characters and events in this book are still in my head. I feel like I really knew these four girls, and their plights always had a moral lesson to be learned. And by the way, the name "Beth" first became a popular girl's name only after this book came out.

4.0 out of 5 stars Classic by Alcott, May 7, 2009

By	D. Johnson (Oklahoma, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I'm 52 years old and remember well reading this as a kid, and loving it. I bought a Kindle because it's easier to read, and when I discovered I could get it free on Kindle, hey, it was a no-brainer. I'm trying to build up a library on my Kindle of the classics I never had time to read in high school or before, although this was not one of them. Haven't read the free Kindle version yet but I will. Am thoroughly familiar with the story and looking forward to reading it again.
