 An Old Favorite July 29, 2010
Beth
I was thrilled to find Little Woman for free on Kindle. I remember reading this book over and over again when I was a child. I believe the version I read back then (many years ago) was slightly different from this one. There are scenes in the Kindle version I don't remember from my childhood. Of course, it could just be a faulty memory on my part. Either way, this is a wonderful book for both children and adults.

Definitely a classic that I think should be required reading. There are some parts that are a bit drawn out, but overall I find it an excellent book.
Little Women & Good Wives combined June 24, 2010

Nice kindle edition of both Little Women and its sequel Good Wives.
Both are beautiful stories and here they are complete and unabridged, asthey should be.
This edition would benefit from a little more formatting but on the whole it is very good, especially with both books for free.
Wonderful to have these in my e-library to read again, and share with my daughter.
One of the best coming-of-age stories! June 7, 2010

I first read "Little Women" by Louisa May Alcott almost twenty years ago and it remains one of my favorite coming-of-age stories. The story of four sisters - Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy and their trials, tribulations, joys, and life with their beloved mother Marmee appeals on so many levels. These young ladies go through so much, and bear it all stoically, especially with their father being away during the Civil War.
Jo, the protagonist in this story is a strong-willed, independent-minded young woman and the character that appeals to me the most. She chafes against the strictures imposed against the women of her time, and struggles with her losses whilst trying to establish herself as a writer. The themes in this novel are varied - poverty, family, friendships, grief, and female emancipation and are deftly dealt with. This will always be a classic and one I hope to share with my own young daughter in the near future.

This book took me awhile to read and some parts I didnt quite understand. But it is one of my favorites. I love all the characters, espcially Joe. I love the time it's in and the story its self. All I have to say is WOW!
