Even now I find myself not sure I want to. Maybe someday . . . But I do know it's a favorite of so many. <br /><br />There are a handful of books I would like to re-visit now that I'm an adult, but I admit to being a but nervous about it. What if I end up hating an old favorite?Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372511622978085955.post-33439410199043208422013-10-22T15:43:39.269+01:002013-10-22T15:43:39.269+01:00I'm probably one of few who hasn't read th...I'm probably one of few who hasn't read this book!

I find that most quality books that we enjoy as children usually hold up into adulthood.<br /><br />With that said, too much sentimentality can indeed take a lot out of a story.Brian Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15139559400312336791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372511622978085955.post-34977842233752166112013-10-16T09:51:57.606+01:002013-10-16T09:51:57.606+01:00i also read/enjoyed little women as a young girl, ...i also read/enjoyed little women as a young girl, but i still enjoy it greatly.<br />thank you so much for your brilliant review, tracy!<br /><br />big hugs~<br />xx Betty Manousoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08549686306725800208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372511622978085955.post-27014846133882214782013-10-16T06:15:01.644+01:002013-10-16T06:15:01.644+01:00A book from my youth, but I still relish it.

But then, I'm not one for doing that. <br /><br />I remember awhile back someone wrote a sequel to this, supposedly in the same style, etc. I don't remember the details, nor did I read the book, but it was an author I liked at the time (I think...it's all so vague).
