So it took me just over two weeks, but I have finally finished reading Little Women, by Louisa May Alcott. I have to say I love it with all my heart, and I'm so sad that I finished it. I stayed up late last night to finish it and once I did, I couldn't sleep. I just stared at the ceiling, because I didn't know what to do with myself.
I did struggle a little with the way it was written just because I wasn't used to it. I mean I spend most of my time reading Wattpad stories, so reading something like Little Women was different and my brain just took a while to ajust to that style of writing. But I was in love with every word.
I don't think I have a favourite charcter because I love them all so much. Meg is so sweet and an amazing role model to the other girls, Jo is has a kind heart, but she doesn't like to show it, wee Beth is just an angel, and Amy reminds me of a little china doll. Laurie is so funny and charming, even though I did think he was a pointless character to begin with.

I love the original Beauty And The Beast. But I think I may love this version more. It’s beautifully written. The cover is stunning, and a few time instead of reading the book I’ve just stared at the cover.
Belle is a lot less of a victim, she still kind of falls in love with the Beast. But they don’t instantly get married and then all live happily ever after. The Beast seems a lot more human in this, he actually ends up having a heart and you get to know more of his back story. You actually get to know about characters who seemed unimportant, and were ignored in the original. They actually seem more human. Finding out about Belle’s mother and the Beasts parents was amazing.
It’s probably not something you’d read to a child, but if you want a slightly creepy story to read on a cold winters night, this is definitely the book for you.
