First Re-read Book: Little Women by Louisa May Alcott Adapted by Lucia Monfried

I picked up this illustrated version of Little Women for my grandniece. I decided to re-read it first. I don't remember exactly when I originally read Little Women; I think it was when I was in fifth or sixth grade.

I re-read the book over the weekend. Something was off. The story seemed disjointed. One thing that I remembered specifically was a chapter called "Meg Goes to Vanity Fair." It was Chapter 9 in the original. In this adaptation, Chapter 6 is "Meg Tries to be Fashionable."

I'm disappointed that I bought an "adapted" book. And, by the way, the illustrations are horrible. I don't even want to give it to my niece and will return it to the library for another book sale.
