Once in a blue moon, a book comes along to waste your life. In my humble opinion, no book is ever a waste of time. But dang. Little Women sure does come incredibly close to it.
First off, the book truly has no plot to it. It's just a story of four sisters and how they grow up and enter society. Boring! But there was a charm to it. And the charm was Louisa May Alcott. Hands down, she is the most talented writer ever! The book was filled with beautiful aphorisms that touched my soul. They were so simple and yet so deep. If ever I had continued to pursue my dreams of becoming a writer, Alcott would have been model I aspired to. Still, she is the most talented writer I have come across. And the novel truly showcases that.
But but but! *Spoiler alert* Jo and Laurie don't get married?!?!?! Are you kidding me??? What's that??? I understand the book is not a true non fiction, but really??? Who on earth does that? What sister (Amy) marries a guy (Laurie) who was in love with her sister (Jo)???? No sister would ever do that!!!! I wouldn't even date, let alone marry, a guy who was in love with even just a friend of mine! Did Alcott just not get this??? I would have rather Alcott not make Jo get married at all if it should have truly been a biography! Ugh Ugh Ugh!!!! Of course in real life Jo and Laurie would have gotten married! For a book that is supposed to have found its charm through it frank and honest look at life, it lost it's charm by introducing a fake ending! That's right! A FAKE ending!
T.T Wahhhhh!!! My heart is in despair!! This book is almost as bad as Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code. No. It's worse! Because I believe Alcott is a literary genius and I expect more from her!!!! T.T T.T T.T I'm having nightmares because of this book, and while I loved reading her writing, I really wish I had never read the book. T.T
I obviously WON'T be watching this movieugh...
