Such a warm and beautiful classic. Though some parts have aged and the story can be slow at times- it’s truly a masterpiece in its own right.

Little Women is my all-time favorite book. This book shows the reader how the girls in the story become real ladies without giving up their hopes and dreams. The author depicts real-life circumstances, good and bad. It has humor and love, hardships and trials. Most of all, the characters have common sense and good morals. This is the type of book to be read while being cuddled up with a blanket by the fire, all nice and cozy. If anyone wants a good, solid book to read while learning valuable lessons, I recommend this book 100%!

It's very clean. It seems like some people are putting tags in without any reason at all.

This is a fun lighthearted novel. I love getting into the family dynamics of the March family and feel like each character is given a fully fledged personality.

I listened to it on Audrey and the narration is really good.
