Rating: Summary: The best book ever Review: This is the best book ever. It's about a girl whose life is in a orphatage until Mathew and Marilla take her home and teach her everything. This is a book about family,friends, and adventure. While Anne might have lived in the 1800's and we live in 2002 we can still learn from her. When I read Anne the characters feel as if the characters are live and as if I am Anne. It certanly is a book worth reading. What I love best about this book is Anne's mischief and kindrid spirit and Mathew's love toward Anne.You've goy to read this book. It's the best book EVER!

Rating: Summary: Montgomerys book is a masterpiece! Review: I loved this book from the time I picked it up to the time I put it down. The elements in this book make it a story that I will always remember. Anne of green gables was a marvelouse tale of a young girl who dreams of having a wonderful family and a place to just call home. In this book are all the features that make a good book great. Instead of one of those books that are just "She found the perfect family, got along perfectly,never caused havoc, and just lived happily ever after." Anne of course is trouble from the start, has a fight with one of her school mates,yells at a neighbor, and of course has a horrible temper! So throughout the book Anne tries to make her new family love her. I would of course recommend this book to anyone.

Rating: Summary: Enduring, original, and always entertaining Anne Shirley! Review: The ANNE OF GREEN GABLES series is one of the most unforgettable, and one of the most enjoyable, series of all children's literature. This series chronicles the life and times of Anne Shirley. Anne Shirley is the plucky, imaginative, red-haired orphan. Her parents die when she is baby, and so she spends the first 11 years of her life going between homes and orphanages, with no one really wanting to keep or to love her. By a mistake, she is brought to Avonlea--instead of a boy--to be adopted by Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, a pair of farmers who never thought they would be raising a girl in their old age. You may want to skip this next part of my review, because I am going to sum up each book briefly. No plot spoilers will be revealed, but some of the contents will, and if you haven't read all the books, then maybe you don't want the content revealed ahead of time. ANNE OF GREEN GABLES covers a span of Anne's first 5 years in Avonlea. She will age from 11 to 16. Her immortal antics that have made this book so beloved include her rivalry with Gilbert Blythe, dyeing her hair, and falling off of Mrs. Barry's roof... ANNE OF AVONLEA spans two years. Anne is 18 at the novel's finish. She has become a teacher. Marilla adopts twins. Also, Anne has some more humorous and immortal moments. ANNE OF THE ISLAND spans 4 years--Anne college years at Redmond. She will be 22 at the end of the novel. Anne discovers the real meaning of romance and love and courtship in this novel. ANNE OF WINDY POPLARS also known as ANNE OF WINDY WILLOWS covers the 3 years of Anne's engagement to Gilbert. She is a Principle at Summerside High School where she has to deal with the Pringle clan, Katherine Brooke, and plenty of other interesting folks. ANNE'S HOUSE OF DREAMS covers the first two years of Anne's married life. She and Gilbert now live in Four Winds Point, 60 miles east of Avonlea. Gilbert is making a living as a doctor, and the Blythes have new and interesting neighbors. **My favorite book of the series.** Note: there is about a 6 year break between AHoD and AoI. ANNE OF INGLESIDE covers about 6 years. Anne and Gilbert have moved to Glen St. Mary, near Four Winds Point, and now have children. This novel covers the birth of Rilla to the 15th wedding anniversary of Anne and Gilbert. More about Anne's children's adventures than Anne herself. RAINBOW VALLEY takes place in 1 year. It is about Anne's children, and more specifically their neighbors, the Merediths--Faith, Una, Jerry, and Carl--and Mary Vance, but Anne does come in at important points within the novel. Faith is reminiscent in many ways of the young Anne. Note: there is about a 9 year break between RV and RoI. RILLA OF INGLESIDE is a heroine in her right. She ages from 15 to 19 during World War 1, the setting of this novel's time period. Anne is by now in her 50s and is a background character, but Rilla is a delightful and outgoing heroine with or without her mother. This series was meant to be loved and reread and reread. Read the books in chronological order, or read them out-of-order but you'll still find them as fresh and enjoyable and as humorous as the first time you read them. ***Montgomery wrote some books about Anne's neighbors in Avonlea (CHRONICLES OF AVONLEA, FURTHER CHRONICLES OF AVONELEA) and in Glen St. Mary (THE ROAD TO YESTERDAY). And so if you enjoy the Anne books you might enjoy those books as well---although any Montgomery book is a reccommended read.***
Rating: Summary: good Review: I have only read Anna of green Gables and I found it very enjoyable though after all the hype about it I mush say I felt it fell a bit short of the mark. But I still think that people should read it if not for pleasure then for the simple fact that it holds such a large place in Canadian Childrens Fiction.
Rating: Summary: one of my favorites Review: A perennial favorite, Anne of Green Gables takes us to an intimate setting of a small Prince Edward Island community. With the freshness of first-hand knowledge, Montgomery writes about daily life in Avonlea and the imaginative, vivid and hopelessly romantic young orphan, Anne-with-an-E. With her impulsive affection and tendency to be accident-prone, Anne is one of the most endearing heroines to ever grace the pages of literature. Her struggle to fit in and to be loved are heart-warming, as is the way her mind makes every small problem into a life-altering ordeal (the incident with the "puffed sleeves" springs to mind). Meanwhile, the disapproving Marilla Cuthbert, the woman who takes Anne in, eventually learns to love the vivacious orphan - who is growing into a graceful young woman - and show affection of her own. This book makes us all want to see the world through Anne's sparkling eyes and to live life as passionately.
Rating: Summary: My favorite book of all time Review: Anne Shirley rocks. I don't know what else to say. I received the series as a gift when I was 11, and after I read one chapter I devoured all 8 books. I've now read Anne of Green Gables so often that I can practically quote the whole thing - I still read it whenever I need an escape from the real world. The novel is essentially a portrait of a sweet, lovable, imaginative child growing up in Prince Edward Island in the late 19th century. An orphan since infancy, Anne is tossed around by people who don't want her until she is accidentally adopted by the Cuthberts, who wanted a boy. With the Cuthberts, Anne at last finds the home she has so long desired - and her adopted family (aging siblings Matthew and Marilla) rediscover the beauty of the world through the bright little girl. Montgomery fills this book with glorious descriptions of the PEI landscape she knew so well, and with simple, touching stories of growing up. It is so easy to relate to Anne as she deals with her innumerable "scrapes," from accidentally setting her best friend drunk to dyeing her hair green to being made to sit with a boy in school. You will love Anne the minute you meet her, and you will laugh and cry with her through the entire series.
