Alcott

Geraldine Brooks

Viking Adult, 2005

Adding dimension to a one-dimensional classic...
The "horror", "shock" and "dismay" by reviewers who found March an aborhent departure from the classic that inspired this beautifully conceived novel seems more aptly suited to pre-teens than mature adults. Is it really so amazing that a decent man can be flawed? ...

Jo's Boys (Bantam Classics)

Louisa May Alcott

Bantam Classics, 1995

Bittersweet, yet satisfying conclusion
The third book of the series brings closure to Demi, Daisy, Teddy, Rob, Dan, Nat and many other characters as they embark upon their adult lives, ten years after the conclusion of "Little Men." In addition, Alcott focuses more upon Josie, Bess and others who were ...

Eight Cousins (Puffin Classics)

Louisa May Alcott

Puffin, 1995

Good for Young Readers
This book is one of my absolute favorites! It's great for 3rd or 4th graders. A wholesome, playful, entertaining book you will love your whole life. It follows the frolics of shy Rose Campbell as she comes to live with her six aunts and seven wild boy cousins. ...

Little Women (Signet Classics)

Louisa May Alcott

Signet Classics, 2004

The Sticking Together Sisters
Little Women is a story about four sisters who live with their mother. I thought it was a great story because it is really easy to figure out what they are doing in a jiff. The best part of this book is that it shows the characters have feelings and emotions that are ...

Eden's Outcasts: The Story of Louisa May Alcott and Her Father

John Matteson

W. W. Norton, 2007

excellent biography!
The author manages to do justice to both his subjects, Louisa May Alcott and her father. He also creates an excellent picture of the time and explains the transcendtalist movement. Besides L.M. Alcott and B. Alcott one learns a lot about Emerson, Thoreau, Elizabeth ...

Little Women (Unabridged Classics)

Louisa May Alcott

Sterling, 2004

A Favorite
This is one of my favorite books. I am an avid reader, and there are some books which I have read more than once, but when I think about them years - or even months - later, I cannot for the life of me remember some of the main charactors' names. It is not so with this ...

Little Men

Louisa May Alcott

Signet Classics, 2004

My favorite Alcott novel...
Mention the name Louisa May Alcott, and most people will instantly think of "Little Women." But in my mind, the less often discussed "Little Men" is just as great, if not better. The story picks up shortly after the conclusion of "Little Women," with Jo and ...

American Bloomsbury: Louisa May Alcott, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Margaret Fuller, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Henry ...

Susan Cheever

Simon & Schuster, 2007

American Bloomsbury
Ah! This was a delightful book with historical significance! I had no idea of the literary talent concentrated in Concord, MA during an important time in our nation's history--the 1840-60's+. Susan Cleever wrote an entertaining "story" about our most prominent ...

Little Women (Barnes & Noble Classics)

Louisa May Alcott

Barnes & Noble Classics, 2004

From "Little Women" to "Good Wives"
Louisa May Alcott wrote many books, but "Little Women" retains a special place in the heart of American literature. Her warmly realistic stories, sense of comedy and tragedy, and insights into human nature make the romance, humor and sweet stories of "Little Women" ...

Little Women (The Illus Children's Library)

Gramercy, 2002

Five stars are not enough
I read Little Women when I was a Little Woman. I just recently decided to buy it for my daughter and read it again. What a classic! This is a must for anyone's reading list both male and female. The story chronicles the March family, in particular one of the ...

The Concord Quartet: Alcott, Emerson, Hawthorne, Thoreau and the Friendship That Freed the American Mind

Samuel A. Schreiner Jr.

Wiley, 2006

An illuminating portrait of four amazing men!
This book is truly fantastic! Not only is the subject matter facinating, but the author weaves all the sublties together seamlessly. What might have been heavy subject matter is made by Schreiner into an exciting and surprisingly a fast read! This book is both ...

Classic Starts: Little Women (Classic Starts Series)

Louisa May Alcott

Sterling, 2005

You MUST read this book!
Little Woman is a book that everyone must read. I really love the characters and everything about it! My favorite character is Jo, who seems a lot like me because she loves books and isn't a really girlie girl. I also like Beth because she is so nice. I really ...
