Summary: I Wish Jamie Lee Curtis Had Made an Unabridged Recording!
Review: I have always regretted that I never read Little Women by Louisa May Alcott when I was a young girl and I still haven't read the book yet but I just yesterday finished listening to this audiobook recording which is read by Jamie Lee Curtis and I liked the story and all of the characters, Meg, Jo, Beth, Amy, Marmee, Laurie (AKA Teddy), Mr. March, Mr. Brooke, Professor Baher, etc, but my favorite characters are Jo and Beth and I enjoyed listening to this audio recording and I think Jamie Lee Curtis did an excellent reading and did was very good with all of the different characters and I loved how she made her voice sound different for each character and I wish she had recorded an unabridged audiobook intstead of just abridged. This was a very heartwarming story with both happy and sad times and I found myself at times smiling and laughing at the happy and funny things and at other times I found myself crying at the sad things like with what happened to poor, sweet and gentle Beth and I'm going to look for both a paperback edition and one of the unabridged audio recordings and hopefully I will find both the paperback book and unabridged audiobook in a used book store but unfortunately the unabridged audio recordings aren't read by Jamie Lee Curtis and I hope the readers are very good like her and I very highly recommend this book in any edition audio, paperback, hardcover, etc! BTW: I have decided that even though this is abridged that the audiobook is a keeper because Jamie Lee Curtis really did a wonderful job reading it and even if I eventually get the paperback or hardcover book edition and an unabridged audio recording that this is just way too good to give away or trade so it is going on my keeper shelf in my closet and I could definitely listen to it again. I have the old out of print audiobook from Dove Audio which either went out of business or maybe they just change their name because the new in print edition of the Jamie Lee Curtis audio recording is now from New Millennium Audio but it is the same recording as my old Dove Audio recording but the one from Dove has a picture from the movie version that starred Winona Ryder and she is pictured on the cover with Clare Danes, Trini Alvardo and Kirsten Dunst and this New Millennium Audio Edition has a plain cover design.
