 | REVISITING MY PAST... Jun 5, 2010 |
This sequel to Little Women (Unabridged Classics) is a favorite classic, and second in the series that ends with Jo's Boys. I read all of these books as a child, and the additional Alcott books as well.
To satisfy a reading challenge, I have decided to reread some of these old favorites.
Little Men was delightful, highlighting the wonderfully compassionate nature of Jo and her husband, Professor Bhaer, whom she met in Little Women. At the end of that book, Jo's Great-aunt March, the cranky old woman who seemed too demanding at times has left her house (Plumfield) to Jo. Now Jo and Fritz (Professor Bhaer) have opened a school for boys. Most of the boys appear to be troubled or challenged in some way. The story tells us various antics and behaviors exhibited by the boys, and displays how Jo and Fritz deal with these issues.
After reading the biography Louisa May Alcott: The Woman Behind Little Women (John MacRae Books), I could see the parallels between LMA's father's ideals and their methods in dealing with the recalcitrant boys.
The book was colorfully illustrated in the edition I reread, and was reminiscent of the book I read as a child.
While I would always recommend any Alcott book, I must admit that Little Men did not resonate with me the way Little Women (Unabridged Classics) did. Therefore, I must award four stars, while restating that the story was wonderful and brought back those childhood moments.

| Little Men was a quick read and a lovely way to continue Jo's story. I didn't think it was nearly as good as Little Women, perhaps because there are more characters and it takes place within a shorter period of time... so there is less development in each character and even more moralizing as each short story within the book has a lesson to be learned! | | |  | LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT Jan 1, 2010 |
| I love this book almost as much as Little Women. They just don't write good wholesome books like these classics anymore. Read it and you'll love it! | | | | great book Dec 29, 2009 |
| i got this book because i had fallen in love with little women when i read it. I had no expectations for this book, but i enjoyed it sooo much! Its nice to read a wholesome, family orientated book. Its just as awesome as little women, i would say. im looking forward to reading Jo's Boys and finding out what happens to these wonderful children when they grow up!!!! Great read!!! | | | | a most excellant story Dec 7, 2009 |
| I bought this book for my mother and I knew it was good when she could hardly put it down. I asked her to give me her opinion of the story and she told me that it was a wonderful story! The children are so funny and amusing that it was impossible not to get attached to the characters in the book. She would recommend it to anyone, and if I don't read it before hand that after I have children of my own she will give me the book and tell me to read it.She wished she had read it many years ago when I was younger because the examples of how to help little boys to become young men where amazing. | | | Write your own review about Little Men
