Rating: Summary: More tales of that Kindred Spirit Anne~ Review: In the 3rd installment of the Anne of Green Gables series, Anne is off to Redmond for her college experience. The only thing from Avonlea that will be at Redmond, is dear old chum Gilbert Blythe. The question is, will Anne & Gilbert finally get together, or will Anne continue to maintain her "only friends" status? Montgomery teases the reader with little incidents, and hope is created, that this couple we love will get together at last.Amazing in Montgomery's writing is the discovery of how much and how little college years of L.M.Montgomery's time compare with those of our modern day. Though times are surely more old fashioned-where gentleman callers visit during certain hours, and no dorms are co-ed, some things never seem to change. When Anne achieves a certain accomplishment, her friend calls out.."Let's go get drunk!" Anne of the Island takes an entertaining look at Anne leaving her childhood years behind and enjoying those life changing 4 years that college brings. You'll meet her new college friends and the charming house she lives in, Patty's Place, and see Anne through as she begins life in her twenties.
Rating: Summary: Wonderful and totally enchanting Review: I thought this book was SO wonderful. The delightful Anne Shirley is bombarded with marriage proposals, in which she acts accordingly. In this book, you see once again Anne's true character. In Anne's dream world, her Prince Charming comes riding on his white horse to sweep her off her feet. There is no hesitation, nothing to mar that picturesque world. In reality, however, everything is helter-skelter. We follow Anne to Redmond with all her friends, Phil, Aunt Jamesina, Priscilla, and Stella, along with Rusty the cat. There is so much excitement going on; so much drama that I soon got wrapped up in all of Anne Shirley's doings. Every scene in the park and every room at Patty's Place becomes crystal clear. You see a red-haired girl coming slowly into womanhood, not the bold text of the book. Anne of the Island is a remarkable read.
