My Thoughts
Little Women is one of my all time favorite novels. It centers around a group of sisters who are coming of age. As they travel to adulthood, they go through many different trials. They find love, get married, and some even get careers. Two of my favorite parts are when Jo sells her hair to get medicine for her sister, and when she gets a job as a writer.
This was a great adaption that stayed reasonably close to the novel. I have seen many different versions come out over the years, but I think this is my favorite. The costumes and settings were realistic, and the actors were just as I pictured them when I was reading the book. If you want grab a copy of this fantastic DVD, you can find it in stores nationwide or online at Amazon.
