Summary: This sequel is a must-read, but not as good as Little Women
Comment: OF COURSE you will want to read Little Men, which is the sequel to Little Women. Little Men is in no way as good as Little Women, though it is a good sturdy children's classic.
In Jo's Boys, the story is finished out. The boys mature and we learn what happens to them. Some fare well, others don't prosper. This is what makes Jo's Boy's somewhat somber in nature. Alcott notes the passing of Marmee, and others depart as well. A sadder tale, and a bittersweet end to the saga of the March family. A funny tidbit is the appearance of fans to bother Mother Bhaer (Jo). Alcott afflicts her alter-ego with the same annoyances that the fans created for her after Little Women. One uninvited admirer even cadges a postage stamp from her desk. A bit of real-life levity in an otherwise subdued book.
Even if not up to Little Women's literary heights, Jo's Boys is a must-read if you want to know how it all turned out. (And who can resist that!)

Summary: The Best!!!
Comment: This is the best book in the whole world(opinion). This should be rated 50000000...stars. I found this interesting than the other two books. Jo's boys is cont. of Little Women and Little Men. Join, Nat the musician, Dan the Wanderer, Emil the Sailor, Tommy a doctor(kind of), Franz, a merchant, Mischievous Ted, and Little prof.(rob)...etc. It's not only the boys, but the girls, lovely Daisy, Giddy Gaddy Nan, princess Bess, & Actress Josie. Mr.Bhaer, Jo, Laurie, Amy, Meg, & Mr.March, help these Children(now gentleman and ladies), discover their strenghts and weeknesses. They all are different, yet so together, happy, sad, and scared.

Summary: Do not buy this edition
Comment: This edition appears to be from an OCRed text that was not proof-read. Odd spacings, strange characters, missing words. The binding and paper is cheap.
Stay away! (It's not even worth one star.)
