Summary: Anne of the Island
Review: This is my absolute favorite book in the whole entire world. It is the best out of the whole entire series! I have read and re-read it so many times, I know it practically by heart. The book is about Anne's four years at Redmond college with the introduction of Patty's Place featuring beloved characters from previous books including Gilbert Blythe, Priscilla Grant, goggle-eyed Charlie, the grown-up Diana, Ruby Gillis, Stella Maynard, the critical Mrs. Lynde, Marilla and of course the twins, Dora and Davy who just always happens to run into trouble. Many new friends emerge such as the unfogettable Phil (short for Phillipa) who can't dream of marrying a man who isn't rich, romantic Roy Gardener and the sweet Anut Jamesina. The book also includes the publishing of one of Anne's stories. It is definetly worth reading at least once.

Summary: I lOVED this book, it's so beautiful and perfect!
Review: I think that this is my favorite Anne book. I have read it over a hundred times to myself and soon I will need to order a new copy. It tells the ongoing story of Anne Shirley and chronicles her adventures in higher education, friendship, love, and of course WRITING! This is not a childrens' book as some might think. It is very easy to read, but it is for people of all ages. Of course, it features the same Gilbert Blythe who we all know and love as Anne's constant admirer and the irredeemably Sloanish Charlie. She also has Priscilla Grant at her side. She also makes a new friend, Phillippa Gordon, who makes Anne's freshman year wonderful and may someday prove to be quite sensible. In the course of the book, Anne will gain friends and admirers as well as continue to matchmake and write (of Course). She will have her share of joy, tears, loss, and love and ultimately set her course for her life beyond the bend in the road. I learned an important life lesson from this book,you never value what you have until you have lost it. I loved the characterization of all the new characters especially Phillipa, I think that we all know someone like her who attracts men without knowing how or wanting to. I can relate to Anne in this book. This book is thoroughly enjoyable and you not regret reading it. If you still want more Anne after reading this book,you should read all of the other Anne books (the next is Anne of Windy Poplars) and the Chronicles of Avonlea(it includes several stories which include Anne in them: The Hurring of Ludovic, The Winning of Lucinda, etc.) I hope that you will love it as much as I did!

Summary: Just As Wonderful As The First Two!
Review: In this third volume of Anne Shirley's life, Anne goes off to college, gets a marriage proposal, and loses a friend. With everything that happened to her while at college, I just couldn't put it down. Anne is growing up and having to deal with the trials of being a young adult. Anne has problems of love and I couldn't stop reading until I found out what happened. Montgomery does a great job with this sequel and I can't wait to read the next!

Summary: Anne Of The Island
Review: Anne Of The Island is a great book. It is about a girl with dark strawberry-blonde hair. She goes off to college with her friends: Charlie, Gilbert, and Diana. She makes some new friends and one of them, Priscila which is Pris for short, they meet in the graveyard across from the college. She meets many men she thinks she is in love with, including Gilbert, but when the propose to her she finds out she really doesn't love them that much. She even turns down the man of her dreams. So, it is partially a love story. She was adopted when she was young by Marilla. Now they have taken in twins when their mother died and their only relative can't take care of them. The younger one is Davy, who is always asking questions and getting in to mischief. He especially likes to bother his twin sister, Dora. She is always quiet and quite lady-like. They all live on Prince Edward Island in Canada. If you want to know the rest, you can read the book for yourself. Happy reading!

Summary: The Best there is!
Review: If you like the Anne of Green Gables series this is the best one in the whole thing! Anne of the Island has something for everyone! Anne Shirley leaves the small town of Avonlea to attend Redmond collage.. There the novel introduces you to a character who is extremely funny named Pricella! (Hope I spelled her name right). In this novel Anne falls in love with a fellow school mate, while her long time friend Gilbert Blythe finds a love interest as well! Do they end up together at last? Read the book and find out! This book is definatly for people who liked the movie "Anne of Avonlea". They are without a doubt slightly similar, but the book is definatly better!

Summary: Best Anne Book!
Review: This Anne book is my favorite one of the series. Anne's romances make the story so spellbinding. All throughout the book, I was hoping Anne would wind up with Gilbert. Her romance with Roy adds a twist to the story. All of the Anne books are wonderful but this one holds a special place in my heart.

Summary: A wonderful story-great for Girls&Women
Review: Anne of the Island is the third novel in the Anne of Green Gables series. The story was ver predictable at times, but was extremely addictive. I felt like I was right there besides Anne, and almost cried at some parts because I felt so attached to her! Throughout this book, along with the others, Anne is growing up and noticeably changing as the story progresses.
After spending a few years teaching at the Avonlea School, Anne leaves her beloved Avonlea and Prince Edward Island to attend Redmond College in Kingsport. Attending Redmond with Anne would be her old friends Gilbert Blythe, Charlie Sloan, and Priscilla. Anne and Priscilla soon meet another girl, who they find talkative and funny.
During her college years, Anne received a few marriage proposals from very unexpected men. She met her "Prince Charming" one day out in the rain, but realized that she could not marry him when it was almost too late. Confused, Anne almost entirely gave up hope about marrying anybody.
While back in her beloved Avonlea for the summer, Anne reveals her true feelings for a dear friend before she loses him forever. The happy couple end up planning their life together.

Summary: Well....
Review: It was ok, although I thought it could have been much much better. Anne goes through a lot as far as self-realization, especially at the end. My favorite part is when she goes back to her birthplace and discovers the home her parents lived in, in Bolingbrook. Gilbert's character needed more developing, just like it does in all the other Anne books. I think he's a real bore, but wouldn't be if she would just develope him more.
I wanted more of a finale too.....more of them talking, etc. It was just too predictable....that she would fall out of love with Roy and go back to Gilbert. I wish she would endeavor more to be ambitious and she and Gilbert would discuss that.
There are other Anne books that are better, such as Rilla of Ingleside.

Summary: A Good Read
Review: Anne of the Island is one of the better of the Anne books. Anne goes off to college, where she learns not only English, mathematics, Greek, and various other subjects, but also lessons about love and life. She adopts a homeless cat, receives (and refuses) five proposals of marriage, and wonders how Gilbert can spoil a perfectly good friendship with all this love-nonsense. She visits the town where she was born and makes lots of new friends. Then she meets her ideal - the dark, melancholy and handsome Roy Gardner. But is her ideal all that idyllic without a good sense of humour?
