Little Men (Signet Classics) 47 reviews Louisa May Alcott
Signet Classics, 1986
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 Frederick Bhaer running a school at ...

Little Women (Unabridged Classics) 9 reviews Louisa May Alcott
Sterling, 2004
A Favorite
+ I LIKE IT
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 book. I could not forget it, ...

Louisa May Alcott Unmasked: Collected Thrillers 1 review Louisa May Alcott
Northeastern, 1995
Incredible
This is an absolutely breathtaking collection of twenty-nine thrillers from Louisa May Alcott. Each story that I read kept me up until the wee hours of the morning because they were so good! And after I was done reading them, I was still thinking about them for days on end. Powerful women, ...

Civil War Hospital Sketches (Dover Evergreen Classics) 1 review Louisa May Alcott
Dover Publications, 2006
Civil War Hospital Sketches
This book was short and gave some insight, but was a little disappointing since I had just finished reading Civil War Nurse: The Diary and Letters of Hannah Ropes. Both Louisa May Alcott and Hannah Ropes were assigned to the same hospital. Hannah Ropes' book is more in depth with the day-to-day ...

Invincible Louisa: The Story of the Author of Little Women 6 reviews Cornelia Meigs
Little, Brown Young Readers, 1995
A Classic
+ Still a Classic 33 Years Later!
I think that Invincible Louisa is a wonderful, well written book. No offence meant to the other reviewers of this book, but I think that Invincible Louisa did not drag along slowly at all. It is a wonderful book for 11, 12, and 13 year olds, or 10 year olds who are advanced in reading. However, ...

+ Pure Epic-ness! + Best H.P. Book!
Without a doubt this is my favorite novel of the series so far. The action in this novel was intense and I finished the novel in a couple of days. JK Rowling always does a great job of mixing foreshadowing and mystery. With each novel, I have begun to realize that nothing is as it seems. I ...

Rose in Bloom (Puffin Classics) 31 reviews Louisa May Alcott
Puffin, 1995
It Only Gets Better
+ "To other roses getting ready to bloom." + Better than I expected!
If Eight Couisins was great, Rose In Bloom is classic! I left the child-hood friends in great anticipation of meeting them again as adults. At the same time, however, I felt an ominous sense of foreboding. . . Would Charlie and Mac ruin their friendship in vieing for their sweet cousin's hand? I ...
