5.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Story That's True!, October 17, 1998

By A Customer

This is an incredible book, and the most incredible thing about it is that it is true. In this book, you can see how Louisa May Alcott's 'Little Woman' is based on the true story of Louisa and her sisters. If you liked 'Little Woman,' you'll like this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Book, June 28, 2001

By	A 10-year old reader (Ipswich) - See all my reviews

I absolutley loved Invincible Louisa. The book is full of character, and almost each person is described fully. Corneila Meigs seemes to have a special understanding of the Alcotts. I liked how Invincible Louisa had so much description. It is one of my favorite books, and I reccomend it to people who like Little Women.

4.0 out of 5 stars A true reflection of Ms. Alcott, October 7, 2000

By A Customer

This is a great biography of Louisa May Alcott, in the fact that it is written in a style similar to her own (Which, as anyone who's ever read her work can tell you, is no small feat!) The reason I give it four stars is that at times, it seems to focus a little too much on things that didn't really seem important to the telling of HER life. Overall, though, a wonderful read!
