Rating: Summary: This book captures the realistic joys and traedy of life. Review: This book is the 5th booke about Anne Shirly Blythe and the best. This book is so realistic that you can almost feel that you are right there.This book captures the realistic joys and traedy of life. One thing that is a traedy is the death of one of the best friends Capptain Jim Boyd. You should read this book if you want a good cry and laugh in the same book.
Rating: Summary: Ive seen L.M.M. do better Review: This is a good book overall if one dosent count the way Anne is displayed.The characters are given very full and lively descriptions as do the ways of life of that time. I love the portrail and story plot of Lesley and Captain Jim etc. Also the discription of the town is very well given.However unlike her other characters in this book Anne is not really there. We only see someone that we now is Anne but from her actions it dosent seem like her. Anne is depressing and not self asured in this book and you cant help but wonder where L.M.M character that we love so well went. Although I am not a child - I dont understand why these books are for young readers - I try to find the books,which is hard where im from,and read them. However this time I could only find the shadow of Anne. As I said if you dont count Anne as a character this is a very good book.
Rating: Summary: You will laugh, cry and sigh in this Anne book Review: This is a must read for all Anne fans, even though it can get a bit romantic, you will love to see the way Anne and Gilbert fare in the life of newly weds. You will experience many different emotions while reading this book.
Rating: Summary: One of the best books in the Anne of Green Gables series! Review: This is about Anne Blythe and her husband Gilbert Blythe who, after their marriage move to a quaint little house and meet their few neighbors, one of which is Leslie Moore, a beautiful young woman who has suffered many tragedies. Anne strives to become her friend, and in doing so, she helps Leslie and shows her how to live life to its fullest. Anne's life takes a sharp turn when she suffers a tragedy herself. This book is full of surprises, humor, and fun.
Rating: Summary: Okay..... Review: This was a good book with a delightful set of characters. My own personal favorite was captain Jim, with his stories about the sea, and of his lost love, "Lost Margaret." It's not just a happy book that bores us because Gilbert and Anne do lose a child, and they do quarell. However, I think my biggest dissapointment is the lack of Gilbret throughout the entire Anne series. Really, in Montgomeries books we see much more of the male friends of her heroines than their lovers. Gilbert as a character isn't built up at all, I don't really know anything about his personality. He's just a puppet. I'm so eager to know more about him, but it's like he's just a foil for Anne's character. If they were friends perhaps we would know more about his personality. I wish Anne had married someone like David in "Mistress Pat", Barney in "The Blue Castle" or Dean in "Emily's Quest" , or even Jingle in "Pat of Silver Bush." The relationship between Pat and Jingle is especially moving. But because Gilbert and Anne did not grow up as friends the way Teddy and Emily, and Pat and Jingle did, it's hard to fully understand their feelings for one another...or appreciate the developement of their relationship. I was also dissapointed that Anne gave up her ambitions with marriage, although I understand that Montgomery must have been catering to what society wanted of her during that time period.
Rating: Summary: Anne's House of Dreams Review: This was a really great book. It makes you think about what should happen in life and how you try to change it.
