I didn’t like this one either…Mr.March’s character was not very likable, and the whole book was about him anyway, and so consequently didn’t like the book either

It didn't do much for me either, but I may just be off Civil War books for good. My review on Rose City Reader is here. I will add a link to your review on mine. Rose City Reader’s last blog post..Review of the Day: March

You’re not the only one. I didn’t care for this book at all, despite my complete love of Little Women. I think it’s the reason that I haven’t yet read People of the Book. Which is a shame because I have heard nothing but good things there.

I didn’t like this one at all, either. I wanted to. I really, really did.

I loved this! (Read it before I blogged, so no review.)I like the Civil War period and the transcendentalist, so the book was made for me. The descriptions of the hospitals, medical conditions, slaves, and slavery were interesting. I liked the filling out of the character of Marmie. BTW: I wanted to be Jo at one time in my childhood and I’ve even visited LMA’s house! Good thing there are plenty of books for us all.

I felt much the same. It ruined my image of Mr. March. I’ve read Year of Wonders and enjoyed it a bit more, and I also plan on reading People of the Book.

Meghan, I haven't read this one, but plan to. People of the Book is excellent. I hope you get a chance to read it soon!
