4 out of 5 stars This is the final book in the little women trilogy and it does tie things together well. Set ten years after little men we meet the boys as most have turned into men. I loved the way that we find out how the boys have turned out. We do see more of the next generation March women; Bess and josie. My favourite of the boys is Daniel, yes he is the bad boy but he wants so much to be good. Jo is still very much of the matriarch but I love the others taking Centre stage more. I haveStanding by the 5 stars. As I've said before, these people are too intimately wound up with my psyche to be rated objectively. There's some preaching but to my eye it's not as heavy-handed as in Little Women. There are lots of great female role-models (with respect to the times). All of the young women are working toward careers, with the exception of Daisy (that natural housewife!). The young men are supportive and for the most part, respectful. There are anachronisms aplenty, but there's also
Wonderful sequel; can't get enough of Jo!
This was a great conclusion of the Little Women series by Louisa May Alcott. If you enjoyed Little Men, you will enjoy Jo's Boys as it tells what happens to the boys of Plumfield as they get older. Definitely check the whole Little Women series out as they are all a joy to read.
"books are always good company if you have the right sort. Let me pick out some for you.' And Mrs. Jo made a bee-line to the well-laden shelves, which were the joy of her heart and the comfort of her life.I DID IT! I really did it. I read a series within 4 days! I'm so proud of myself!! (view spoiler)[Aside from falling asleep after reading the first chapter this book was a pretty good read. I like all of the books tied into each other, well except for Good Wives. I just didn't like that book as
The book, ladies and gentlemen: (I very much tried to make everything chronological. Anything that isn't, such as Josie whining about acting or whenever the Professor decides to grace the world with his presence, is completely due to my lack of remembrance and also my utter lack of desire to go back through the entire book, rather than skimming for the important bits, as I am already doing.)Professor: *chortles*Plumfield: If everybody could just stop acting in plays here, that'd be great.Nan:
*opens book* Ah, I cant wait to re-visit all the characters from Little Men.A few chapters later: Its kind of boring, but all the boys are still awesome, especially Dan. But he has a beard. Thats weird. Oh, well, Ill just ignore it.Later: Wow, this is really boring. Too much moralizing. Whole chapters of it. But at least the Josie-wanting-to-be-an-actress thing is interesting. I wish Alcott would focus more on Dan everyone else, though. And am I the only one who sees definite similarities
