What makes it so good is that Little Men also has the same sentimentality and heart as it's predecessor. But isn't that what we love about Louisa May Alcott? She's such an idealist and really wants you to be better without being preachy. It has the same type of transcendentalist ideals that Little Women propagated like self-reliance, independence, equality, and access to education. Of course it does still have the same analysis of morality, lessons about being your best self, and 19th Century platitudes. What I liked so much about Little Men is that it stayed true to the spirit of the original novel despite a completely new and different story. ![]() It is a fantastic sequel to my most beloved Classic. But after reading Little Men I found myself wondering why I had waited so long to read it. I hold Little Women in such high esteem that I didn't want anything to lessen that. I'm sad to say I have never read the next two books about the Marches. I cry, I swoon, I flail every time I read or even think about it. It is one of my favorite books of all time. I'm not sure if you knew this but I'm a huge fan of Little Women, like a huge fan. ![]()
