5.0 out of 5 stars Loved it!

When I was in school we did not have a required reading list. So I am trying to read classics, contemporary and others that interest me. So I read Little Women a few months ago. Then found out it was a series of 4. So I read Good Wives and now Little Men. I had a little bit of trouble with Little Women. Yet each book has gotten easier to read. Little Men was such a wonderful book. I cried though the whole thing. Then Louisa May Alcott threw a surprise at me that I did not see coming. She really had a way of telling a story. I am so glad I am taking this journey of discovery in books. Little Men moves much faster than the first two books. I can not wait to read Jo's Boys, the last in the Little Women Series. Please take the time to read this series, it is well worth the time. It is about the love of family, friends and learning.

Another of our wonderful classic from an era gone by.
It comes after “Little Women”. Deals with young boys and their own special story through life. Many have heard and read “Little Women”. But surprisingly not as many has read “Little Men”.
Highly suggest you read “Little Women” first, as it enhances this book, but is not necessary.

4.0 out of 5 stars "Story" 5 stars, "Mint Editions" 3 stars
Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2023

The story, "Little Men" is a touching, inspiring story you won't soon forget and Louisa May Alcott is an absolute treasure. This book is definitely worth the read and if I'm honest, I think I liked it slightly more than even "Little Women." That said however, the publisher, "Mint Editions" fell a bit short. I cannot even count the number of misspelled words that were scattered throughout the book or just wrong words used altogether. For example, "am" would be "an," "came" would be "cam," etc., etc. Do they not have an editor??? This hardcover edition is rather simple and plain for a collector anyway but regardless of that, it loses so much more integrity, in my opinion, when the time isn't even taken to make sure the story is as-it -should-be. Just very sloppy. If you don't care about all that however, the story makes it worth it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A treat, if you liked Little Women
Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2014

I read Little Women over and over when I was a youngster and never knew there were lots of other books by Alcott! So it was with pleasure I found this and others on the Kindle, and free no less, well into middle age.

Before I say more, I want the reader to keep in mind the dates and setting of these books. Younger kids (tweens these days) might find the books naive and perhaps boring and stiff. But families stayed close, entertainment WAS spending time with your family and friends; sewing and needlework, painting, reading aloud, teaching the youngsters,playing games etc were what people did in the evenings, and without benefit of electric lights most people rose early and took themselves off to bed not long after the sun went down. Cooking etc and shopping were chores and not something done for pleasure by most folks. Visiting, attending church and civic functions and entertaining visitors were simple but important aspects of life. Time was slower because it was impossible to do anything fast!

Caste was very important. Try to look at these books as a slice of life in the era not long after reconstruction, important in history as well as literature.

The adventures of Jo in LW were warm and funny, and she as a character has a long legacy from Mary in The Secret Garden to Francie in A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, all the way to Bella in Twilight.

Now we have Jo several years later, married and matronly, all grown up into a gentlewoman with children of her own, and a school for boys. And a few little girls.

Her sisters and their families show up from time to time, but the focus is on Mother Jo and her dozen or so boys as well as varied friends and neighbors, and extended family. Alcott manages to get into children's heads, how their little personalities manifest themselves, and the comical yet tender things they do.

Jo and her husband have a lot on their hands yet manage to fill their house and school with love and acceptance, guiding the children with a firm but loving hand. Jo often remembers her own youth and how headstrong and willful she was which helps her to help even the toughest little man.

The stories are fun and gently amusing. The characters are fleshed out and she avoids being preachy or overly dramatic, in comparison with the likes of Elsie Dinsmore, another popular series of the time.

As I say, children might find these books tame and slow, but by reading these books to children they will learn life lessons that still apply and always will. Adults will find in these books a haven of peace from our hectic and overbooked lives.

Wholesome, delightful classic for all ages. I love this Seawolf Press edition. I first loved it with Little Women. Both Little Women and Little Men are good. I think some one who did not like Little Women might still like Little Men. Little Men teaches good lessons for boys and girls alike. Very entertaining.

I think Little Men is a great read for anyone who wants to know more about Louisa May Alcott. She wrote this book after her sister's husband died so there would be income for them . it is full of insight into their life and stories that keep the reader engaged.Nice children's book.Solid tales as well as a way to discuss life in 19th century Concord .

3.0 out of 5 stars Not a Nice Edition - Some Kind of Print-on-Demand Copy
Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2023
Verified Purchase
What I received was some kind of on-demand printout. It does not look or feel like a published book. The paper is inexpensive, the indentations are very strange, there are no page numbers, some of the characters didn’t render correctly. This is serviceable, but it is like something a university print shop would produce for a lit course if no edition was available. Perhaps it is a printout of the Kindle version?
