I’m still getting to grips with audiobooks so thought this would be a good choice as I’d read it as a teenager. An enjoyable listen. It’s clear why this is a well-loved classic.
I'm glad to have now read this classic by Louisa May Alcott. Listening to it via Audible was a great way to "read" it. Laura Dern did a nice job as narrator.
I listened to this book while doing Christmas chores (wrapping, cleaning, organizing) because I remember watching the 1994 movie over Christmas break growing up. I have watched Little Women too many times to count, and love the sisterhood that Jo, Meg, Beth, and Amy share. When the 2019 movie came out at Christmastime, I was one of the first in line to see it. So when the Laura Dern narrated version of Little Women appeared on Audible, I knew I needed to add it to my list! I feel the book helped...
pretty swell
I really enjoyed this dramatisation, I don't think I would like this book nearly as much if it was any different. Not that it's a bad book itself. It's just the way the dramatisation has brought it to life that made it so enjoyable.
Still a fave.
I wanted to read the book before watching the upcoming movie. I am glad I did as I now feel more prepared. 🏃🏻♀️ Plot and pace: After reading Jane Austen, this was a little underwhelming and a tad too preachy for me. As the girls grew though, I became more involved in their toils. 🗺 Setting: There were quite a few travels included, but not much of the scenes were described in full to visualize. The parts that were, were done quite well for me. 💑 Characters: This was definitely the focal point of...
Heartwarming classic.
Timeless.
I loved this performance of this great book. I hadn't read this book in quite a while, and I was surprised by how much I loved it. There was true love written in all the pages, love of sisters and of family. I loved the historical aspect to it as well, and how real the characters were. Laura Dern did a great job as the narrator, and the actors that played the parts were awesome too.
4.5 stars! This book is so wholesome!! I understand why so many people love it now. It’s definitely a realistic portrayal of the different stages of ones life and what truly matters as well as measures of ones happiness. Such a heartwarming story everyone should read!
Update 12.01.2021And then I proceeded to not read it for a whole year lmao. Now that I have read it, I can confirm that it is great! Glad booksandlala and the movie made me more interested in it!!19.01.2020When you watch booksandlala's video and suddenly you have an EXTREME NEED to read this book that you previously had NO INTEREST IN whatsoever
I adore this adaptation of one of my favorite classic stories. The production, narration, and voice acting are superb. At first, the girls’ voices seemed similar but each individual character started to take on their distinct personality that it was easy to tell them apart. Although I already know what happens, I still reacted the same way to familiar scenes - aghast at Amy’s destruction of Jo’s manuscript, amused at Meg’s social-climbing dreams, incredibly sad at Beth’s illness and ultimate dem...
Audiobook Review I have seen 1 or 2 movies of this book and never realised how much of a gem this book is!My absolute favourite part was that the girls liked to enact The Pilgrim’s Progress, which happens to be one of my favourite books too.This books is so beautifully written and the reader feels part of the family and the adventure straight away.I want to give my that and and appreciation to the author and all the narrators involved in this production!
I hadn't read this book since I was about 10, and I couldn't resist getting this audiobook in the sale as I love Laura Dern and enjoyed the film a couple of years ago.The novel is so hilariously moralistic and it reminded me of the puritanical, sanctimonious younger version of me who first loved it, but also I appreciated the poignancy of Beth's acceptance of her fate, and the twists and turns life took for each of the girls on a level I couldn't have when I was that age. This was medicine!
I watched Greta Gerwig's movie first and liked it very much. Laura Dern's performance definitely adds charm to the entire story in this version, and the other voices are very well-suited too. Although I wish the concept of spinsterhood wasn't shrouded with so much "compassion" and "sympathy" at that one point when Jo is convinced she would remain unmarried, I guess after all this book is a product of its times. It's still rather progressive with a lot of choices, I think. I liked Fritz a lot, bu...
This was so delightful. It's been years since I read the book and this audiobook reminded me why I am so in love with it. Hearing the lines read aloud, I was so impressed with how excellent Louisa May Alcott is and how modern this book feels. I laughed and I cried and I am once again obsessed.
Such a delightful story. Always refreshing to listen to a book of a time where there is such innocence.
I probably would have liked more if I read it when I was younger. It's a nice story but it feels a bit too puritan-ethics-preachy for my taste now.
I couldn't relate to any of the characters, but it's classics, so I guess that was meant to happen. I really liked following Jo's story since she was the most inspiring character for me and considering the times it was written in and the fact that she is based on the author, it's pretty cool!!! Apart from semi feminist Jo, it looked more like lessons of morals rather than a story.If I was reading, and not listening to it, I think I would dislike it, but thanks to Audible and all the actors, it w...
