A good sequel
- Title:
- Rating:
Well, what can I say about "Good Wives" that hasn't been said about "Little Women"? The two books are pretty much the same style and are, of course, about pretty much the same characters.
Good Wives is a good (pardon the pun) sequel to Little Women and that's about it. If you enjoyed the first one, you should read this one. If you didn't, spend the £1.50 elsewhere!
On the good side, however, the character development in Good Wives is excellent. While reading, you can literally see all of them evolving into more mature "ladies" rather than staying "girls". I won't summarise the plot (because I never do!) but I can say that the title suggests what will happen in the end.
A word of warning though! If you're a fan of "Friends", do not, I repeat, do not watch the episode where Joey and Rachel swap books. Rachel will spoil the end for you as well!
That said, the book deserves a shiny four stars, for not slacking off but not being better either! A good read.

I love this book. Got 3 (that's right, 3) copies of little women, and one of them is a joint "little women/good wives" book. Have to say that good wives, although touching on deeper emotional subjects than little women, did not make me cry as hard.

For what it's worth, the best Penguin Classics book I have bought is 'Middlemarch' by George Eliot. READ IT NOW. Don't go to lectures tommorrow, who cares about such trifles when you could bask in the ethereal charm of Eliot's words?
