A Rose in Bloom Audiobook

" This might sound like a girl book but it is good for boys too. It teaches how a happy girl is and what she does to be happy!!! It is quite old but it has good teachings and a couple love stories,when Rose has to choose to marry between 6 cousins! (This was in the olden days when that was possible) This decition was made and she married the odd one that everyone thinks she wont. The were both very happy! "

" A sweet story. Louisa May Alcott praises only things that are good. I might be ready for Little Women... "

" A sweet, romantic coming of age tale. I loved both Mac and Rose but found it hard to sympathize with Charlie. "

" Is there anything as romantic as unrequited love (as long as you are not the one suffering from being unrequited, of course)? Perfect choice for a naive reader first venturing into the genre of romance... "

" It was nice.melissa "

" She writes well, and her writing includes the use of many metaphors and similes. This novel is a bit towards the romantic side. "

" Times may change, but young people can be much the same. Whether a young man drives a horse or a car when drunk, the results can be the same. This book has a good basic story. Louisa May Alcott can be a little moralistic and preachy at times, but maybe we need a little more of that these days. "

" Was it really socially acceptable for first cousins to marry at the beginning of the last century? "

" Louisa May Alcott was always one of my favorites! "

" Liked - not as much as Eight Cousins, but I enjoyed it. "

" I sobbed my eyes out reading this book! "

" It's a great book, great for any day, but I advise reading Eight Cousins before this book. I would not recommend this book to boys, because it is about girls. "

" I really enjoyed this. A nice, light read. I really hadn't read anything else by Lousia May Alcott except for Little Women, which I also really liked. Will have to go back and read the first book, Eight Cousins. "

" The first book was soooo much better. This one was way too preachy. "

" I love this book. I always want to read Emerson and Thoreau after I read this. "

" Good. interesting read. "

" I'm putting this book on my list because Lis will mock me either way. This is really something a 12 year old girl should read. In fact, that's probably when I first read it, but I love it and probably read it every other year. Hey, it's Louisa May Alcott - there's nothing wrong with that. "

" More sappiness but well written. "

" I was glad to see what happened to all of the cousins and wished the last page didn't come quite so soon. "

" I actually decided to ditch this book about halfway through. I realized I don't even care which cousin she ends up marrying. Too hard to muddle through, I give up! "

" This is creepy, she marries one of her cousins. "

" One of the sweetest and most charming books around. "

" It's hard to say for sure, but this might be my favorite Louisa May Alcott book. "

" I loved Eight Cousins, so I was delighted to read more about Rose and those zany cousins of hers. Like other Alcott novels, this provides plenty of lessons in character and love. "

" No thanks. Alcott at her most idealistic and sentimental. No real characters here. "
