There was Little Women and then there was Good Wives, which was something like the Second part. Isn't the movie about both parts?

Then yeah, the movies most of both of them. Though they aren't married yet, just engaged at the end of the movie...
-really needs to read the book again-

damn, I want to see the movie
There are also 2 more books called "Little Men" and "Jo's Boys" but I don't want to read them because they are about Jo's life with Prof. Bhaer. I don't like him.

I know. Jo and Laurie were so perfect together. How could Laurie marry Amy, she's too young for him, and Prof. Bhaer is too old for Jo. Well, maybe he's not that old, but my image of Prof. Bhaer is a boring old fuddy duddy. I don't see what Jo see's in him.
Maybe I should just read the other books. Maybe they'll change my mind about him.

I will never like Prof. Bhaer. He is too old for Jo.
And if you ask me, Amy should have died instead of Beth. Beth was so cute and caring.

Yeah, Beth was the sweetest dear of them all. She was loving, and tender, but also so fragile.

God, I had the hardest time reading it when little Beth died. It was even sader because she knew that she was going to die and that she accepted the fact that she would die.

Alcott also wrote "Eight Cousins" (or "The Aunt Hill) and its sequel "Rose in Bloom." I loved those as much as "Little Women."

Me too! Particularly the first one - I didn't like the second after Charley (it was him, right?) died. I thought that was an authorial cop out
 But the first was great.

Oh. I was sorry Charlie died, but that was about it, lol. I liked how Mac changed.
