Jo's Boys is the third book in the Little Women trilogy by Louisa May Alcott, published in 1886. In it, Jo's "children", now grown, are caught up in real world troubles. All three books - although fiction - are highly autobiographical and describe characters that were really in Alcott's life. This book contains romance as the childhood playmates become flirtatious young men and women. The characters are growing up, going out into the world and deciding their futures.(Summary from Wilkipedia) (9 hr 36 min)

Love it


(5 stars)

Watch out. Rude people here leave spoilers below. I'm so happy with the stories and if you loved Little Women you will love continuing on with the other books in the series. All the volunteers did great. I wish suzie G. Would fix whatever is beeping constantly in the background of all her recordings. It's maddening and those chapters tho read well, are annoying and better read yourself.

Worth listning to


(3 stars)

I always find multiple readers a little hard to listen to, but these did a fairly good job. The story in it self was okay, a bit too moralizing for my taste but quite nicely written.

Beautiful

What a great story!!

Great readers! There was one that had a beeping sound in the background and was distracting but she read well just had to pay closer attention.

It was so devastating that Dan was in love with Bess and couldn't be with her. His life was already so awful!


(5 stars)

Wonderful book. I love the way Alcott weaves such discerning characters. Also a very interesting look at gender roles and the beauty and freedom that can be held in a structured life. The increased and explicit discussion of Christianity was interesting. The readers were good. Thank you! My one complaint was the background noise in a few of the recordings, especially a very annoying little beeping that was through a chapter or two.

Best yet!
