"Little Women" is a famous classic novel that everyone just loves. I remember reading this book when I was in elementary school not quite getting the whole story. When I went to Borders to get some books to read, I saw this book on the shelf and I automatically grabbed it and bought it. If you ask me to describe the color of this book, I will say it is pink because beginning to the end, story is very calm, soothing, and loving. Once I get hold of this book, I just sink into the novel and imagine what is happening in the book. Alcott provides great imagery which you will love.
Main characters in this book are four March girls, Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy. They live with their mom and his father is away to the Civil War. Each girl has unique personalities of their own. Meg is very ladylike, Jo is very tall and boyish, Beth had peaceful expression and timid voice, and Amy is the youngest of four who is a very good artist. Although March family is very poor, they don't lose their happiness even though the girls lament about their poverty. Each of them experience different adventures of their own and shares them every night before sleep.
During the New Year's party, Meg and Jo, the eldest ones, goes to the party of Meg's wealthy friend and Jo meets Laurie, hidden boy in Laurence’s house next to Marches'. They share stories about their life and they become friends. When she shared the story to the other girls, they became interested about the "Laurence Boy."
Later, their father comes back and daughters are scattered to other countries to accomplish their dreams and goals. But sadly, Marches counter tragedy of losing one of their beloved family members.
I suggest this book especially to females because males probably wouldn't enjoy reading about girls’ gossips and their little adventures. I recommend it to the ones that enjoy reading about quiet and simple but dramatic books that has little twist and tragedy.
