I...Patti, I never responded to you, I'm sorry!<br /><br />I love your take on the book, it's so nice to hear such a fresh review of your own. Your specifics astound me. I wish we had a book club. We need to live closer, ok?Amelia Witherspoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03728944570578840999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-799922469602266162.post-72132913002279689222010-05-02T13:49:04.930-04:002010-05-02T13:49:04.930-04:00Haha, that tagline is hilarious!
Yeah, the morals...Haha, that tagline is hilarious!<br /><br />Yeah, the morals kind of hit you over the head over and over when reading it as an adult. It's even worse in her other books though (Jo's Boys and Little Men) which I have yet to get through unfortunately. Reading about Daisy and whats-his-face (Demi I think... but I always think Duke for obvious reasons) always made me sleepy and I could never finish it.<br /><br />I think I most identified with Meg at the time. I loved Jo but she was way to rambunctious for me. I'm glad that she didn't marry Laurie (but only after years and years. I was so angry when I first read it.) Meg always seemed to be so mature (but still young enough to make mistakes... she did show her bosom off and wear make-up at Sally's party... tsk tsk). I liked Part II Amy way better than Part I. The scene with the limes always pissed me off. Too "Mean Girls" for me. And while Beth is a sweet girl, she never felt drawn out. Even when she got her whole chapter about playing piano at the Lawrence's... it always felt odd that there could be such a shy girl in that house. Middle child syndrome perhaps?<br /><br />As a final end note to an extremely long post: Painting tables? wtf?<br /><br />-PattiAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02478647620182317846noreply@blogger.com
