"I remember this being the first "real" book I had read as a child,ya know, the kind without pictures. My grandmother had given it to me, and was very special to me not only because it was a gift, but because of the story of the lives inside the book. Anyways, I remember finishing this book in just a few days, I was torn, happy, sad, and hopeful during this book, and it will be a classic fora very long time."

    " I read this several times as a kid. I adored the characters, the story, the life dramas..I'd give it four stars, except for the fact that I always felt slightly dissatisfied with the way it ended. Some day I'll read it again as a grown-up, and see if my perspective has changed at all. :) "

    " As I previously posted, this is actually March by Geraldine Brooks, not Little Women. The first half was fairly dry and I wasn't eager to finish it. I loved Ms. Brooks's previous works, and I expected so much more from this one, especially since it won a Pulitzer Prize. "

    " I just find this book so comforting. I had not read it in years, and perhaps without the nostalgia factor, I would have found the writing too precious and the plotlines too sexist. Instead, I just enjoyed it so much and appreciated all of its virtues. "
