Well, there isn't really anything that I can say about this book that many don't already know about.

I initially watched the 1994 version of this movie and really enjoyed it. I never would have thought, 19 years later, I'd be reading the book because back then, I wasn't much of a [Book] reader...Especially of the classics. I read, but not often & it was usually centered around History of some sort (usually the Civil Rights Movement or Slavery)...

So, when I went into this book, I kind of knew what to expect but didn't quite remember all the details.

These Great Illustrated Classics, I believe, are the abridged version of the books to make it easier for younger readers to read the books and understand the language...I do own another copy of it which I believe is the full version of the book. I may read that version one day..But there are so many books I want to get to, I am not sure yet, but, I did really enjoy this story...

If you want to get into reading classics and still understand much of the language, these versions of books are one way to read them & still get a good jist of what the story is about. ( )

It was nice a very good book although i would of rather read the original book not an adption ( )

Personal reaction:
I enjoyed reading this story in grade school and my favorite charcter was Beth im very shy and i can relate to her being this way too.

Classroom extension ideas:
1.The students can do abook report over this story
2. The students can also write about their favorite and character and why thei are thier favorite. ( )
