Jo's Boys

By: Louisa May Alcott

Narrated by: Barbara Caruso

Jo March Bhaer, who first appeared in Little Women, returns as the compassionate mentor to the boys and girls of Plumfield school. The original students are now young men and women, scattered the world over but always drawn to Plumfield to share their experiences. With fond memories of their school days to comfort them, the young men travel far and wide in search of happiness and fulfillment. The firebrand Dan finds adventure and peril in the American West. Emil’s life is threatened as he sails the high seas. And all the while, tender romances are finally blossoming.

Based on real-life people and events, Jo’s Boys has struck an affectionate chord with generations of readers since its publication. The stories of many cherished characters - from both Little Women and Little Men - are given satisfying, heart-warming conclusions. Barbara Caruso’s affectionate narration carries readers back to New England in the late 1800s, when life was simpler but still full of adventure.

Satisfying Conclusion to Series

While the final novel is not nearly as plot driven as the others, it does a nice job taking the boys from the second novel and making them men.
Resolutions are realistic, more so than romantic. Alcott’s personal beliefs, particularly regarding religion and sin, receive a larger spotlight and at times border on preachy.
That said, the novels’ interpretations of suffrage and the increased role of women in society are fun to observe. Alcott saw the movements coming to fruition, even if she didn’t live to see them.

Well loved story, good performance

I enjoyed the final instalment in the Little Women trilogy as the children are now young adults and their lives are taking shape. The narrator added to my overall enjoyment.

A Childhood Favourite

I love the whole March story and we listened right through from Little Women, but I thought this reader missed the mark a little, she isn't good at different voices so it was difficult at times to know which character was speaking, and at times I felt she had the emphasis in the wrong place, and some words seemed to be pronounced a little oddly. This said, we did listen to the whole book and still enjoyed it.

#Plumfield4ever!

Loved it! Jo's Boys is a great conclusion to the chronicles of the March family. Several times it was a little hard to tell some voices a part, but overall the narrator does a great job with expression and emotioη. Πιστεύω Θεον, εστι αγάπη.

Good Narration!

This is another enjoyable book! I recommend it for anyone who likes Little Women and Little Men.

Amazing!

This story is amazing! I love how it had romantic bits in it and the narrator was great!

A Very Palatable Morality Tale 

Narrator gives a good pace to the story and her inflections are spot on. The story itself addresses how to talk about difficult subjects, which is so helpful for the reader to learn and think about. Lovely representation of good manners.

Heart warming and moral…love

This just warms my heart and makes it smile! I absolutely loved the conclusion on this series. Love love love!

Didactic but Enjoyable

In this highly didactic sequel to Little Men, we follow the late teen/early adult years of the students of Plumfield. The stories are interesting, though dated, and Alcott infuses the novel with life and laughter. Ms. Caruso did a nice job narrating, though some of her male voices were quite similar.

A good book

Jo's boys is a great book but not as good as Little women,
but like it just the same.
