Little Women by Louisa May Alcott

Rating:5 Stars

After reading this wonderful book I kept wondering,"Why don't we all live and love like the March family?" It's the story of the four March sisters: pretty Meg,tomboy Jo,dear Beth and little lady Amy and not forgetting 'our boy' Laurie.My favourite March is Jo she's so funny,energetic,and caring and maybe because I know how being a tomboy feels and are constantly being told that it isn't proper for young ladies be be running,jumping and talking slang.I love how she 'play mother' over Beth.
Mrs.March teaches her girls and us too that we shouldn't love for money and looks,we shouldn't change ourselves to suit the world.Their 'experiments' only prove the dear old lady right for she's had experience but the girls prefer to learn the hard way.We see that the poorest of souls are the happiest because they have each other and such happiness cannot be given by money(even though it's always welcome) and other worldly materials.We are reminded that every life is touched with sadness as well as joy.
In the end they might not have gotten everything they've wantd but something much,much more that being each other,their own family,warm homes and love to last for eternity.
