Little Women by Louisa May Alcott

BATB score: 4/10 👧👩👩‍🦱👱‍♀️

'Little Women' written in 1868 by Louisa May Alcott - when her family was struggling with extreme poverty - is a children's classics (where no Gen Z today would have the patience to endure this thick slow novel)

Best to: if you are up for the 800 pages challenge, I tell you it wasn't easy at all; just imagine that Louisa May Alcott wrote the whole book with paper and ink!? like how?

Best for: art appreciation at it's best, for god sake, the book was written 154 years ago! character build-up, the coming-of-age story flow, the importance of family and sisterhood, the journey to find the meaning of life, relationship with money, poverty, and wealth, women's role of settling down and motherhood - all of which are still true today

Best as: 'Little Women' has been made into 6 movie adaptation including the one in 2019 at 7.8/10 iMDb with Emma Watson, Saoirse Ronan, Timothée Chalamet and Meryl Streep! best to go watch the movie if you haven't!

BATB lingering thought: you know 'Little Women' is the only book (okay and 'The Shining') that Rachel and Joey in 'F.R.I.E.N.D.S' read? Like Joey reads a book! and got emotional about the book and it was 'Little Women'!

Best quotes: “I am not afraid of storms, for I am learning how to sail my ship.”

"I'd rather see you poor men's wives, if you were happy, beloved, contented, than queens on thrones, without self-respect and peace."
