LW is one of my most fav books - my go to book when I am down. The characters seem reduced to caricatures. I hope they develop closer to their book counter parts. Will continue watching nevertheless..

It's been quite a while since I read the book, so I thought maybe I remembered only the good sides of 'book-Meg', but the further I got into the March Family Letters, the more she raised an aversion in me.Birdiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09240886179336298463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5587150608901957801.post-35143485394199962032015-03-30T15:44:42.967-04:002015-03-30T15:44:42.967-04:00Thanks for 'hosting' me, Hamlette!Thanks for 'hosting' me, Hamlette!

Other classics, yeah, but not so much Little Women...I think part of the charm of LW is that it is a time gone by. So great job!

But I've found that I'm always torn. Some are amazing and others just don't translate well, and I'm wondering if maybe this falls into the latter category? Well, I'll watch it sometime soon and judge for myself.Reading in the Darkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13812641480668564435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5587150608901957801.post-11749367319851021882015-03-29T14:21:39.084-04:002015-03-29T14:21:39.084-04:00You know, I was just thinking about this since I t...You know, I was just thinking about this since I tried out the series a couple of weeks ago. I was not a fan. Meg, in particular, ticked me off. Meg in the book was cozy, domestic, warm, the stand-in mother when Marmee wasn't there, and just a little bit boring (in a kind of charming way). This Meg? Cold, calculating, extremely academic (not a bad thing, but not in character), and quite snooty. In fact, I think it was Meg that turned me off of the show. Amy also enraged me. Her voice made me want to punch the computer screen. Soooo…that was probably another indication that the show wasn't for me.<br /><br />Like Birdie, the character who I truly loved was Beth. She became a 3-dimensional character, making me realize that it will be so much harder for all the viewers when she dies (as if it wasn't hard enough in the book) because we know her so much better.
