louisa may alcott           ||          little women || 3.0/5.0
despite my mother's constant urging, i never read little women as a kid.  my overall impression?  its hefty and dense, but definitely written to a young audience.
its a great story, and i'm looking forward to finally watching the movie version.  somehow i've managed to avoid it all these years (i'm definitely a book-before-movie kind of girl), but i'm eager to check out the combined efforts of winona ryder, claire danes, christian bale, and kirsten dunst.
i have to confess i wasn't too crazy about the book.  i think there are some novels that you have to have loved as a child to love as an adult.  i do like to imagine that life was so hokey back then, even if my better judgement usually prevails.
