Honestly, this never matched up to Little Women for me, but I still find it so good, even if there are aspects to it that I really wouldn't like in any other book. The moralism and the religion, for example... and yet it's all so kind and well-meaning that I can't help but like it anyway. I think of all the boys Dan was my favourite (I think he's probably everyone's favourite!) what with his naturalist leanings, but it's always good to see Jo & company, even if they are older and not getting into so many adventures themselves.
