When I first saw "dramatic reading section " I thought they will go way over the top and make it really pathetic. But everybody did the amazing job and really bring the characters alive! They also picked very good voice for each character. I was never that much into audio books but that was very enjoyable! Thanks to all the volunteers!

Puts the Movie to Shame

A LibriVox Listener

Growing up I *thought* I had read Little Women, and certainly I had seen several of the movies dozens of times, but after listening to this I come to find I had read a dreadful ABRIDGED version of this tale and thus, did not truly know Little Women! Listening to it now, a grown mother, with many children in my care, I am astonished at Ms. Alcott's talent in character development as well as the tender descriptions which frame not only the lives of these characters but my own life as well. I see in myself in the unbridled tongue of Joe, the hope of Amy, the domesticity of Meg and, like most, I aspire to be more like Saintly Beth. The performances from the readers were better, honestly, than any audio book I have ever heard. Teddy was especially PERFECT as was Mr. Behr. I adored them both and swooned and chased my noisy children from the room at the most romantic moments so I could fully drink the characters in. Brilliant!

perfect reading by wonderful readers

this book means so much to me.. I read this when I was 9 and I found myself relating to the characters in ways I didn't know were possible. And 39 years later, I am seeing the tale of the March family in ways i hadn't expected, and finding myself connecting to different facets of the story. I will always love this book. Thank you, Librivox. 🌻 Thank you to all the Readers, who did such wonderful work. 🌻

This is an excellent reading of this book. I loved all the different voices. The last time I read this book I was in 6th grade. I absolutely adored the characters and watching them grow and develop. The family relationships are so tenderly portrayed. it is hard to find that in current literature. This is a genuine classic and treasure.

Delightful!

I have always enjoyed this story, and the dramatic reading really brought it to life. All of the readers were excellent. There were a couple that had some sound quality issues, but that really didn't take away from the story or overall performance. Thank you, librivox for providing such quality audio books to the public for free.

wonderful listen

Such a wonderful version of a wonderful book! Elizabeth Klett is my favorite Librivox reader, and she does a fantastic job as the narrator and voice of Jo. My boys and I also adore Karen Savage and Kara Shallenberg, so we were very excited to find this dramatic reading with all 3 of these ladies.

This was an amazing story read by Elizabeth Klett among other fabulous readers. I had already read the entire series before I found this and this dramatized version just made it even more realistic! Elizabeth Klett is one of my favorite readers so I’m glad she’s getting such a high rating. Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women is a timeless story and should never be forgotten. I hope all who hear this dramatic version love it as much as I love it!
