Though I have never read Little Women (but having been a long time fan of the movie with Christian Bale) I appreciated this for what it was. So take what I say at the value of me having seen the movie and not having the book in mind.
It's nice to get other perspectives of the story I know. 

Beth's story here might have made me more sad than before. She is such a sweet and loving girl that had a really bad lot given her from an illness that almost took her life. 

Meg was brave at helping women with certain issues at a time when it was probably even more controversial than today. 

Amy is still seen as a spoiled girl that she is portrayed as before, but I do appreciate getting to see how her vast knowledge she gains in her travels led to some growth.
