I know I love a lot of books I read a gazillion years ago that I probably wouldn't have truly enjoyed if I read them for the first time now.~Jennifer~http://www.blogger.com/profile/09876184821140692572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6266515252594975225.post-11426431907676366162010-07-22T21:57:40.481-04:002010-07-22T21:57:40.481-04:00I still love this book, it is one of my comfort bo...I still love this book, it is one of my comfort books. It always makes me smile :) Of course, I have always really liked the movie adaptations of the book too. I agree that as an adult it isn't as engaging as it was when I was younger though.Felicia the Geeky Bloggerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03960623537536038059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6266515252594975225.post-39234338004799765572010-07-22T13:24:18.192-04:002010-07-22T13:24:18.192-04:00@Enbrethiliel - Anti-nostalgia week? lol.

I've seen bits and pieces while flipping through the channels and heard people talk about how wonderful it is, but I don't feel any need to actually sit down and watch it.<br><br>@Suey - Quite possibly, I think that happens with a lot of books, where they are written for children but it takes an adult mind to really appreciate the message.<br><br>@AnimeGirl - I don't think they're sold as two separate books anymore. I know they once were, but every copy I've ever seen has always been both parts in one book.<br><br>@Kah Woei - I don't know. I think my opinion is based on the fact that I never read it when I was younger, so it was all new to me. Or at least new to me in print form. I did see the movie with Susan Sarandon and Winona Ryder and loved it.<br><br>@miss cindy - Thanks! I think you should. It is a deserved classic, but just not quite the thing for me.~Jennifer~http://www.blogger.com/profile/09876184821140692572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6266515252594975225.post-37926645487690357622010-07-21T22:51:03.439-04:002010-07-21T22:51:03.439-04:00I've never read this but always wanted to.

It's a great book for girls and deserves its status as a classic, <i>but</i> I can't imagine a mature reader coming face to face with its preachy element and not reacting. The story was patterned very closely after <i>The Pilgrim's Progress</i>, and the four March girls are archetypes or allegorical figures as often as they are three-dimensional characters, and I think that is what hurts it the most.Enbrethilielhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03414765854670926854noreply@blogger.com
