Louisa May Alcott
(4,448 Sterne; 703 Bewertungen)
Little Women is the classic story of The March family, which consists of Mr. and Mrs. March and their four girls--Practical, yet fashion conscious Meg, who longs for the nice things they used to have. Rambunctious, book worm, Jo, who wants to become a writer and wishes she were born a boy. Shy and quiet, home-loving Beth, who loves to play the piano and play with her kitties. Finally, the youngest, artistic Amy, who longs for an aristocratic nose!
The story takes place during the American Civil War, and begins with Mr. March away from home as a chaplain to the Union army, while his wife and daughters remain at home to work and wait for his safe return. This book follows their joys and sorrows and scrapes along the path to the girl's becoming grown up "little women".
Many of the scrapes they get into include Laurie--their harum scarum next door neighbor, who becomes their adopted brother. The two families, The March's and the Laurence's strike up a lasting friendship, despite their differences in material belongings. (Summary by Mary Anderson) (18 hr 59 min)

what a wonderful story!
(5 Sterne)
This is by far my favorite book ever! Although some of the readers made a little hard to understand what was happening now and then, I couldn't help enjoying the story. There is excitement, mischiefs, a little romance and a ton of fun! If you are picking out a book to listen to with your family, you seriously should choose this five star book, little Women. (Sorry if this sounds like an advertisement. I am 12 years old and I promise it isn't.)

I love this sweet book. I hate that I'd never read it before. I enjoyed must of the readers' voices, but some were hard to understand. Thanks to all of the volunteers.

It is such a pleasant reading of a splendid book. This is first time I listen to someone read out a book. The extra long sentence are foreign to my ear at the beginning, but by and by, I learned to concentrate more to the voice and which in turn make me understand better, and then I started to feel the melody flow of the beautiful sentences, and get to appreciate the book more and more. I especially like Mary Anderson's reading, very soothing voice and just the right speed. I am very grateful for all the volunteers to make this wonderful book available for us for free.

The plot was genuinely interesting with it's own gradual twists and turns. Though I am a feminist at heart and some parts were irksome,but I can understand the authors mindset in that time. overall a must read.
AMAZING BOOK

By far the best book I have read in a long time!! Some readers were a bit hard to understand, but it was a great book overall
Accurate but Lackluster

I could not get through more than one chapter. While the different voices may be entertaining, they lack variation. The reading in general is inconsistent and does not flow naturally as one would naturally speak. A valiant effort on a timeless classic- but I would not recommend this rendition. EDITED: upon further inspection. I now realize that there are many different readers for this story. After sampling the various readers, I may recommend this rendition provided you could replace all chapters read by Elizabeth.
