Generations of readers young and old, male and female, have fallen in love with the March sisters of this, Louisa May Alcott's most popular and enduring novel. Here are talented tomboy and author-to-be Jo, tragically frail Beth, beautiful Meg, and romantic, spoiled Amy - united in their devotion to each other and their struggles to survive in New England during the Civil War.Public Domain (P)2007 Alpha DVD LLC Growing Up Classics Fiction Growing Up & Facts of Life Literature & Fiction Social & Life Skills

I listened to this book on audio. I was a little put off initially because it was so preachy. Once I put myself in the time frame that the book was written I let down my guard and found it absolutely charming. There are so many life lessons throughout in the plot and I became completely absorbed in each character. My favorite was Jo because I could relate to her clumsiness and being social awkward, but there was something I could identify with in each character as well as something to admire. Of course this is true with every individual, but the author demonstrated it in such a lovely way. Now I need to buy the book because it would be easy to pick it up and just enjoy little senarios when I am in the mood.

I do not recommend listening to it in public towards the end of the book. I made a right fool of myself out gardening in my front yard, crying at the loss of a favorite character. You have been warned.

Classic!

Little Women seems sappy and sentimental from a modern point of view, but still it was fun to revisit this book that I read as a kid, and the characters are still well-drawn and appealing.

Alcott's Little Women is a great book. I wasn't enamored of the reader, who sounded smug and made the characters flat. I had a hard time hearing the differences in the many characters, especially Teddy.

Updated:
I’m relistening to the story with my youngest, now 12. The story keeps us listening, but the narrator is more annoying than before. At times, she sounds robotic and reminds me of Siri or Alexa. Find a different reader if you can.

Great book, flat reading—updated review

A painfully boring narrative. Was that supposed to entertain women? If so, it didn't age well. I took about one hour of it and could no longer stand this bunch of goody-two-shoes.
