About this listen
Generations of readers young and old, male and female, have fallen in love with the March sisters of Louisa May Alcott's most popular and enduring novel, Little Women. Here are talented tomboy and author-to-be Jo, tragically frail Beth, beautiful Meg, and romantic, spoiled Amy, united in their devotion to each other and their struggles to survive in New England during the Civil War. It is no secret that Alcott based Little Women on her own early life.
While her father, the freethinking reformer and abolitionist Bronson Alcott, hobnobbed with such eminent male authors as Emerson, Thoreau, and Hawthorne, Louisa supported herself and her sisters with "woman's work," including sewing, doing laundry, and acting as a domestic servant. But she soon discovered she could make more money writing. Little Women brought her lasting fame and fortune, and far from being the "girl's book" her publisher requested, it explores such timeless themes as love and death, war and peace, the conflict between personal ambition and family responsibilities, and the clash of cultures between Europe and America.

audio very patchy
The audio was so patchy it was very hard to listen to. One second you would have to turn it up because it was whisper quiet and the next it was screaming through the speakers where there was no change in dialog.
The story itself was very dull. I always here how this is a progressive book for females of that time period and sure for 2 of them it was. While Jo and Amy bounded ahead and forged their own path Meg was going backwards in time. I do like the more in depth look we had into the relationships and I have come around on Amy and Laurie but other parts such as Jo and Fritz (a bit creepy and forced) and Meg and John (bland and really a bit problematic in parts) i didn't like as much. I do think that Jo and her thoughts on love and relationships could have led to her being Ace and I think her story would have been better not being led into a relationship. She even says that she would say yes to marriage because she is lonely not for love. All in all I wouldn't be bothered reading it again.
