» PLOT «
Grown-up Meg, tomboyish Jo, timid Beth, and precocious Amy. The four March sisters couldn't be more different. But with their father away at war, and their mother working to support the family, they have to rely on one another. Whether they're putting on a play, forming a secret society, or celebrating Christmas, there's one thing they can't help wondering: Will Father return home safely?

I actually love everything that occurred in this book. The plot was great.

» READABILITY «
The audiobook with the full cast on LibriVox (with Elizabeth Klett) was great and it made reading so much better.

» CHARACTERS «
Great characters.

» WRITING «
The writing isn't super memorable, but it was good nonetheless.

» OVERALL «
I was actually gonna read this before watching the new movie, but that clearly didn't happen. I honestly think the book (like Pride and Prejudice) benefitted from me already knowing the story due to the movie.
