I am 22 years old and had never read this book until I found out that our community theater is going to do a production of it in the spring and so I decided to read it and so totally fell in love with it that I've just finished reading Little Men and Jo's Boys. I too was a little disappointed that Jo did not accept Laurie's proposal but if she had then we would not have been blessed with the two wonderful books that followed. Once you get into Little Men and Jo's Boys you realize that it was the wisest thing for her to do and she and Laurie remain close friends. But I don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't read the sequels; I'll just say that you musn't stop with Little Women because there is much more story to be told in the two books that follow, and if you fell in love with the Marches as I did, you must know the rest of the story.
