This is a book I’ve started many times and never finished. Finally finished and glad I did. I enjoyed the reader as well as the story.
wonderful

Incredible book. I enjoyed the reader as well. I weep like a baby over this book. No movie can ever do it justice.
Little Women
Karen Gottschalk
This book is a classic for good reason. It is beautifully written with excellent characterization. The story is believable, gentle, warm, soothing and positive, like a cup of hot cocoa on a cold winter's day. The reader did an excellent job. Highly recommended.
Great book, reader ok.

I really like the reader's voice and pace, but her frequent mispronunciations ruined it for me. I wish Libravox would allow their proof listeners to correct readers on this point.
beautiful

I didn't know this book was so funny. I really enjoyed it.
Better then the films

I read this as a guy. And I did so because I had a conversation with a friend of mine about how emotion is better shown through books, rather then movies, since the translation to film tends to turn emotion into drama too often. I decided to give our theory a go and read this book (I have always hated the movie versions) and I believe it really is true. Little Women deserves respect, even from guys. The narration was very good as well.
