I watched the movie last night and wasn't thrilled with it. It tells the story by jumping back and forth in time, which to need took away from the whole of the book. I'll be curious to see what you think. Send need a message if you are able.Sarah_McGregor810 wrote: ↑07 Apr 2020, 14:12 I recently finished reading this book. Whenever I see a movie coming out that I know is adapted from a novel, I try and read the book before seeing the movie. With the new Little Women movie coming out, I decided to read this book for the first time ever.
I had extremely high expectations. It seems like everyone I know had read the book at one point or another and they all loved the story. I was not blown away, though I still enjoyed the story. I was most impressed with Amy's character development and there were several other parts of the book that I never saw coming, which I thought was great!
I have yet to see the movie, but it is on my list and I can't wait to compare the book to the movie.

Next step for me: I found that there is a Little Women series on Amazon. I think I'll give those a try. Seems like they will be much more detailed as they have several episodes that tackle every event that happens in the book. I'm looking forward to it!

I always liked that the book was split into halves because the second half was sadder, so after the first few read-throughs, I decided to pretend like the second half wasn't canon/didn't exist. (Nevermind that it was rather important to set up Little Men, my other favorite book at the time... I was an excessively sensitive child.) It also made a good breaking point for the book as a read-aloud. The entire book was just too long for a read-aloud, although possibly it being my seventh read-through didn't help. Huh, maybe it's time for another reread. It's been at least 4 years due to college...
