Summary: A little too predictalbe at times, but still great!
Review: Anne and Gilbert finally arrive in Redmond college, and start a new stage in their lives, and a new stage in their relationship. Anne must decide if she's ready for love, and when she is - would Gilbert still be available?

Anne, as usual, manages to get into scrapes - adopt an unexpected cat, have an unexpected room mate join her, and have lots and lots of romance, Anne Shierly style! Of course, many of her childhood dreams of the "Anne of Green Gables" stage are left behind when faced with reality, but she manages to build new ones. much lovelier than those - especially as for her future love with her beloved one.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Absolutely wonderful!!
Review: I love alll of the Anne of Green Gables series. They are so vividly written you find yourself wishing that you were born as Anne a hundered years ago on PE Island. I would have happily endured all her hardships for all the wonderful moments in her life, and the fact she married Gilbert Blythe! It's so well written that you actually feel that you know Gilbert and I actually found my self falling in love with him! I've read the series 2 times. The first time I couldn't stop thinking about Anne. I read Anne, I tried to live like Anne and I dreamt Anne. Anyway, this book comes after Anne of Avonlea and Anne is about 18 when it starts. She comes to Redmond college with friends from Avonlea- Gilbert Blythe and Charlie Sloane. She finds herself lonely at first and homesick but she meets new friends such as Phil and lives with 4 other friends in a place called 'Patty's Place.' This book is soooooooo well written you almost find yourself in Patty's Palace surrounded by Anne and her friends. Gilbert Blythe proposes in this book (my favorite chapter) but Anne. . .well you'll have to read and find out. In the end Anne realizes she loves Gilbert and life wouldn't be worth living without him. The end is so beautiful. Although I love all 8 books almost equally Anne of the Island is just a little better. And although it's romantic it's definitely not just a romance. Anne of the island includes wit, humour and a lot of other things that makes it an all-round perfect book. If you're an Anne fan you havvvvvve to read this. I could not describe how wonderful it is in 1000 words. Anne of the Island is truly a book you CANNOT put down. After I read the series I didn't have the appetite to read anything that didn't include Anne and all the PE folk Anne was familiar with. After reading this I recommend you read all the rest of the Anne of Green Gables series (there are 5 more books,) although you'll probably be rushing to buy them anyway.

Summary: Why I love Anne of the Island
Review: When I read Anne of the Island I instantly knew it is the best of the Anne books (though Anne's house of Dreams is pretty close) and probally the best book I have ever read. I have read the book so often my copy of it is litterally falling apart. I as a teenage girl can relate to Anne. L.M. Montgomery writes the book so clearly. I can visualize exactly what Kingsport, Green Gables, and Patty's Place looks like. I think in this book Anne finally becomes an adult. She relizes that Gilbert is the person she should be with. I think any teenage girl who did not read any of the Anne books is really missing something.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of my favourites

She has two marriage proposals,one by the village geek and another from the most handsome guy in her village. Will she marry one of these men? Find out and buy this book!

Summary: Anne Of The Island
Review: When I started reading this book I couldn't put it down. Anne Shirley goes to Redmond College and meets some new friends while she's there. She moves into a house with some of her friends, and gets a few unique marriage proposals. If you liked the other Anne books, this one will most certainly live up to the highest expectations.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: a crowd pleaser
Review: I had just begun to read the first Anne book in the beginning of January, and now, as the month has already come to a close, I've just finished my third. If nothing else, the book will sure keep you entertained. Even though I knew how the end of Anne of the Island would turn out, I still waited in suspense 'til the very last page. It's an excellent read, and I'm going to try to force myself not to go onto the fourth book because I really need to start reading other materials. It's written beautifully, and I found myself trying to speak as flowery as Anne but could never pull it off. It's really a blessing to find a book that you truly can't put down. The story was wholesome and simple, but it was indeed a classic to me. Take my advice, bibliophiles, read Anne--and give yourself some "scope for imagination."

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of my favorite books....
Review: This is probably my favorite Anne book (but I love them all). You should read the first two before you begin this one, so you can get to know Anne. The characters are wonderful and I love the way L.M.M made you feel like you were at Patty's Place and laugh along with the college girls. I have read this book so many times and really I think that is the biggest compliment to a book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I think this story tells us that udo what u think is right.
Review: This book is about how Anne went to Redmond Collage which is a very rare thing for people in Avonlea. She really enjoyed this as well as making knew friends. Anne also loved a small white cottage that was near Redmond.Threw the last three years of her stay at Redmond she spent the semesters at "Pattys Place", the white collage. She of course went back to Avonlea during vacations/breaks. She really enjoyed this. She went through many proposals, but she had to say no to everyone of them. Then she realized that Gilbert Blythe was the right one for her to marry. She realized this when Gilbert was deathly ill.

Rating: 5 stars
