I am not a fan.
I find the book to be an interesting look at life in New England at around the time of the Civil War (which surprisingly has very little influence on the events other than the father's brush with pneumonia). The book starts with the girls discussing their "poverty," which showed a bit of its almost aristocratic background as the family was so poor that they could only afford the one servant. Those aristocratic leanings last throughout the story with one of the women going on a trip to Europe and rubbing elbows with celebrities of the time, yet each chapter encapsulated some moral lesson that showed the little women where the true pleasures in life could be found--often indicating that those pleasures were not in wealth (as long as one was already wealthy enough to not have to worry about making a living).
Still, I can understand the book's appeal. The women all find true love in their lives (except for unfortunate, dead Beth) and live a life full of happiness (although Meg was clearly a bit envious of Jo and Amy's massive houses near the end). Meanwhile, each chapter provides a specific lesson that the women learn about life and become true ladies. It's a nice bit of fantasy with some direct Christian teachings from a narrator who is certainly not afraid to let her own opinions be heard.
I still want to see the movie.
