One of my Favorites
I totally disagree with CommenSense review that says this book has out-dated gender roles. The March family had an incredibly forward-thinking view on the roles of women for that time. They were very progressive. Not that I am a feminist, or that the book spends any amount of time on the subject. Guess you'll just have to read it for yourselves!

This book is absolutely gorgeous! I am normally more of a fantasy girl, but I must say, everyone should read this book. It's genius. Louisa May Alcott is brilliant. Once you read Little Women, you'll have to read all the sequels and, like me, you'll go through a major Alcott stage and start crazily reading all her books. I am starting to tear up just thinking about it. This book is so sad it gave me fever for crying so much!

A novel recomended for all girls 12+
I really enjoyed this book. It had very rich text and had an enthralling plot. The life style of the era was extremely enthralling; and I recomend it to all readers who can understand the style of writing Louisa May Alcott has provided us with. Younge children may be confused at reading it, one friend of mine tried reading it at a younge age making her confused, now she refuses to try and read it now that she is a better reader. My mother enjoyed this book too, so both younge and old will enjoy.

Amazing Book
I love the book! It really gives the moral of family and friends and how important they are.

 
Wonderful Role Model for Girls!
My eight-year-old daughter loved this book and would act out scenes, with her dolls acting as the March sisters. She especially identified with Jo and enjoyed comparing herself to her. It was good for her to see how Jo's temper got her into trouble sometimes and how Jo handled that. I especially appreciated how the March girls modeled love and respect for one's parents! I highly recommend this book.

Great Book
I really loved this story. Little women was a perfect combination of romance and adventure. This charming classic will still entice audiences today, despite its outdated storyline.

it is a very nice book........

 
I loved Little Women by Louisa May Alcott! It is such a great story about family and friends, and an especially great read for girls. I am in High school and I love it. I could see younger girls reading it, as long as they can understand the kind of formal and kind of slang dialect. The relationship between Teddy and Jo and the other sisters is the best, because you can see their friendship blossom and how close they are throughout the entire book. Although their dad goes off to fight in the war, there are no battle scenes. Readers will fall in love with the March family.

It really is important that you stick to the age level on this!
I started reading this when I was only nine years old. But I found it very boring! I have read it recently and I can see now how it is a good book, in this case its worth to wait. But hey that's is just my opinion. In one chapter one of the girls said that the music she had heard was very gae. Back in 1861, when the bookwritten, gae meant ful, happy ect. A sign of immaturity is when the person who is reading this, points and laughs!

Wonderful, Positive, and Moving Read for Any Age or Gender...
Parents need to know that this book is a must-read for everyone. It is a very historical look on life during the Civil War, and all characters are great role models. Honesty, love, kindness, and tolerance pervade the book. Though the title is LITTLE WOMEN, the book is written equally for both sexes, and has plenty of material to please both boys and girls of any age.

A must-read!
I first read this book when I was eight and LOVED IT!!! In my opinion, this is a must-read for anyone. It is the ULTIMATE chick read. (read: It's kinda a boy-meets-girl story, but it's written so well, you darn just don't notice!"

Spontaniosity
This book was awesome. Some language was hard to understand but we loved it anyway. The characters were well developed and we felt that they were our friends. Most everyone can relate to at least one conflict, character, or situation. Its the bomb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great for tweens
A real view at life, and although not everything is peachy, you can still achieve your dreams and be optimistic. Some very sad parts, but very easy to relate to for many young girls.

Amazing can't live without reading it
The best book up there with anne of green gables. I read the first book when i was 8 and than read good wives. I didn't think about these books for ages and than I found little men and Jo's boys and read them. Each book has a bit of comedy, romance and one tragic bit which makes me cry.
