Summary: Got to read this one!!
Review: "Anne of the Island" is by far the best book that I have read by L.M Montgomery. In this particular novel she touched my heart, the warmness of her charcters made them feel as real as anybody I have ever met. A Great friendship finally evokes into more passionate relationship and death comes to the small town of Avonlea. Along with cheerful, happy moments will come sad and depressing moments. This book is a must for any "Anne" fan.

Summary: Why I love Anne of the Island
Review: Anne of the Island is one of my all-time favorite books. It is romantic but realistic. It isn't one of those books where they see each other in some impossibly easy place and swoon over each other the rest of the book. It deals with real problems people can have, like deciding if and why you love someone. The characters are loveable and well developed. The book is topped off with a bone-tingling ending you'll want to read again and again!

Summary: Anne Shirley at her best!
Review: This book contains one of my favorite characters from any "Anne" book. I love Philippa Gordon! Not to mention Aunt Jamesina, Priscilla, Stella, and all the gang at Patty's Place. I am a university student myself and all Anne's trials and tribulations as a college student are now very familiar to me. Of course, all the fun is familiar to me too. "Anne of the Island" and any other L.M. Montgomery book are my cure for a dull, depressing day. Anne and all her other wonderful characters will bring a smile to anyone's face.

Summary: If you're not already hooked on the series, you will be now!
Review: The third book of the Anne series, "Anne of the Island" is a wonderful, romantic book. Anne Shirly
has left her beloved Green Gables and has packed
her bags for Redmond College, where she will find
friendships, adventure, and romance. She falls in
love with a house called "Patty's Place" a Green Gables away from Green Gables! There are two lovely
old maids that inhabit it, and Anne gets to board
there for two years, along with some friends. This
is a classic Anne book, and although Anne is growing
up, she still gets into as many scrapes and messes
as she ever did before!

Summary: A Book of Revelation as Love Takes Up the Glass of Time
Review: "Anne of the Island" is the third of Lucy Maud Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables novels, and completes what we can see as being a trilogy simply becomes Anne finally realizes what everybody in Avonlea has known from early in the first book, which is that Anne Shirley and Gilbert Blythe were made for each other. Having spent time as the teacher at the Avonlea Schools in "Anne of Avonlea," the Anne girl leaves Prince Edward Island for four years of college (hence, she is now "Anne of the Island"). The theme of this story is Anne dealing with "How horrible it is that people have to grow up," as she confronts how her whole world is changing. Ironically, what makes "Anne of the Island" so romantic is the way it challenges romanticism. Even as a young woman Anne creates a romantic fantasy around the world in which she lives, just like she did at Green Gables where there was the old Snow Queen at the window, the Dryad's Bubble, the Haunted Wood, Lover's Lane and all those "dear spots where memories of the old years bided." Now Anne and Priscilla, her school chum from Redmond, are renting rooms in Patty's Place, and making the home of Miss Patty and Miss Maria into their own. Meanwhile, after a thousand romantic drams and enduring both Diana Barry's wedding and the rejection of Gilbert Blythe's proposal (her second actually), Anne finally meets her Prince Charming, Royal Gardner. He is handsome and rich, in short, everything that Anne ever dreamed that she wanted in a husband. Then comes the fateful moment when Roy proposes and Anne opens her lips to say her faithful yes. But this is but a false dawn in Anne's life and there is a fateful Book of Revelation that Anne has to endure before love takes up the glass of time. There is romanticism and then there is that which is romantic and Montgomery shows the difference. There is a reason that this character and these books are enduring classics of (supposedly) juvenille literature. As usual this book is also filled with interesting and colorful characters, such as young Paul and the Rock People, John Douglas who finally speaks at last, and Anne's friend Phillippa Gordon, who also has her eyes opened to the what true love really means. For those who are familiar with the delightful Kevin Sullivan "Anne of Avonlea" sequel there is also the whole episode of "Averil's Atonement" as well as the entire end game with Gilbert. That is the most important part because at long last the final line of Montgomery's original "Anne of Green Gables" novel rings true for our Anne girl.

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: 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?
