Little Women by Louisa May Alcott


After finishing Prep, I decided that it was time to read a classic novel. Usually I never read classics, because I find them very boring and fiction just seems more interesting to me. I chose to read a classic because my friend recommended Little Women by Louisa Mal Alcott to me. Upon looking at the cover, it seemed boring but I decided- Hey, why judge a book by its cover?! After completing 100 pages, i came to a conclusion, that this book, even thought its a classic, was not bad. In the beginning, it starts off with 4 sisters- Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy. They are all complaining about this years' Christmas not being a jolly one, for they know that they won't recieve presents. All of them however decide to put their money together and buy something for their mother, Marmee. All of the sisters, are different and comlplain about different things. Jo isnt very social and doesn't like going to parties, and Amy always grieves over her flat nose. Jo however becomes close friends with her neighbor, Laurie who often feels lonely. The story continues on about the different personality that each sister possesses. I really enjoy this book so far and hope that it continues to keep my attention.
