Little Women

I just finished it and it was really really good. I'm so glad I picked it out over something else even though i didn't think i was going to like it at all. The ending was so good, i was smiling the whole time. I just wished Beth hadn't died...she was so sweet! I think my favorites were Jo, Meg, Beth, Laurie, Brooke, Mr. Bhaer, and Mrs. March. For some reason I instantly loved Bhaer when he was first introduced, i don't know but i had a feeling he would get together with Jo in the end. Maybe it was his German accent working it up or something...he actually reminded me of a different character that I love.
Anyway i loved the book so much! Now I have to finish The Forgotten Soldier before I start Grimm's Fairy Tales. I think i'm going to try and write a mini poem for each section in TFS like in my other post TFS: Russia. I'm on the part where they're retreating back to Germany. Beginning of the end indeed...

Part 1 = Excellent!!!

Part 1 of Little Women was absolutely beautiful and I really do see why it's a classic. I seriously thought Beth was going to die and I was all prepared for it and everything, but in the end I was happy because she didn't. I didn't really get the big deal about Meg marrying Brooke. Just because he's poor doesn't make him awful and as long as she's happy who cares? Their mom said that like five times before and everyone believed her then, but when Meg accepted the proposal, her mom and Jo went a little weird...for lack of a better term. All I know is that the family has one issue: way too protective/clingy (especially Jo). I hope Jo marries Laurie, but I think she'll turn him down, at least that's what I've heard. Poor Laurie, it's obvious he likes Jo, though I don't think anyone really sees it... I'm about 2 chapters into part 2 at the moment and it's a little slow seeing as Alcott has to briefly recap three years, but i think it'll pick up soon. :)

I'm a little more than halfway done with the book now! Yay!
