A lovely adaptation of this beautiful American classic
I was transported back to my youth by this wonderful adaptation of a favourite from my youth. The characters are as real and compelling as they were to me when read in print so many years ago; this time however, with the added bonus of the excellent narration of Andrea Emmes the story was brought vividly to life.
Ms. Emmes does an excellent job with the many characters. I particularly liked her portrayal of the Tom-boyish Jo March and the flighty, rather silly, Amy. For all lovers of this American Classic I highly recommend this audio version.
I received a free review copy for my honest opinion of it.

Saccharine in places but worth it
So overly sweet were the first sections I nearly stopped listening. I'm pleased I did not. Jo is inspiring, I wish I had something of her fictional capabilities or the real life skill with which life lessons are taught to the listener by the author. Although it's about 'women' the stories are not just relevant to women. It's quite a long listen and not all parts are equally interesting but it's worth it. Keep listening.

Rushed reading
Occasionally rushed reading leaves you guessing who is talking when. You get used to it after a while but some brief pauses for impact, clarity and character changes would've improved this reading

Little women
This is a classic book, but unfortunately the narration is so fast that I struggled to keep up with the characters.
The narrator has a very shrill voice which makes it hard to listen.

Little Women audible
A great way to experience the novel. Well worth the effort in listening to this gentle story about family life in a different era.

Dull narrator!
Good story but made dull by the narrator. Worth a listen if you can get past this issue.

Awful narration, very robotic and annoying
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
I can't get past the first chapter. Narrator is truly awful. I will read the book myself instead.
