Summary: Books for a Lifetime
Review: I started reading the Anne of Green Gables series when I was 12...now Im 19, and supposedly supposed to be grown up, but I still read these seven books every single summer. There is something about the Anne books that keep me coming back. Maybe it's because as I grow, Anne grows with me. I related to her as a young girl, and now I relate to her as a college student. I will read these books when I get married, when I have children, when I have to send my children away from me some day... We as readers have the privelege of watching the complete life of a delightful heroine who has the qualities that I hope I can show in my life: imagination, faith, and an unadulterated love of life.

Summary: The best
Review: I'm finishing the last book in the series of eight. Lucy Maud Montgomery is the best author I have ever run across. Her expressions are beyond any description that I could think of. I look forward to moving on to her next series.

Summary: The best books ever written.
Review: I have never forgotton the first time I became acquainted with Anne. Although I have read hundreds of books since then, Anne remains my favorite character of all times. Long after other books have ceased to interest me, I always turn back to Anne. i've read the entire series many times, but never tire of reading it again. Please do all the young girls, (and boys!) in your lives a favor and get them these books. The lessons learned are timeless, and the characters are people you want to met in real life.

Summary: This series will last you a lifetime
Review: How can I say this? My favorite book...that's pretty much all I can say about this. But, I can also tell you I know I will still love this book when I'm an old widow sitting in my rocking chair. And I am a teen now. If I had never found this series, my life would be so different...this I promise you. It changed me (in SUCH a good way!) There's a little of Anne (with an "e") in everybody.Note: If you don't like reading series or something, do yourself a big favor and read at least the first through third book.

Summary: Could'nt put it down
Review: I loved this book, it's about a unwanted red-head who gets handed to unexpecting people. My favorive person was Anne because no matter how hard things got she always looked on the bright side. My favorite part was when she got to go to college expenses paid. But, what I least liked about the book was when Anne was stranded on the boat without a paddle to save herself. Over all it was a excellent book and I would highly recommend this heart-warming story. THe ending was wonderful but since I don't want to say to much about it, I'll just say that Anne moved back home and became a teacher even though there is more to it.

Summary: A World of Young Dreams
Review: An imaginative young girl is adopted into the loving Cuthbert family, by accident. She couldn't have found or wished for a better home. Once you read this one, you won't be able to wait for the next one. This book can be so sad, that I'll cry. Other times, I'm more happy and thrilled reading this book, than I am playing with my own friends, because they seem like your own friends in this book. I can never wait to get to the end, but when I'm done, I'm dissapointed, because I can't wait to read the next book. You will find out about Anne's friends, loves, neighbors, and her high temper. You will love going through all of her scrapes with her...even if they are one right after another, most being because of her big imagination carrying away with her.

Summary: A Series to Nurture the Spirit
Review: I was first introduced to this series at about 12 years of age. I am now 23, and Anne is still my all time favorite. She has become so real to me over the years. I think that Lucy Maud helped me to grow and develop my intelect, imagination, and spirit in ways no other could. And every time I re-read the series, (At least once a year) I gain a deeper insight into some aspect of myself. This is definitely a book one can grow with. A child will thrill at the scrapes and adventures Anne manages to get herself into. An adult will recognize the sweet emotional pull of Anne's plight for love, and home. I adore this series, and share my well read copies with friends, at any opportunity.

Summary: Beloved Heroine
Review: In June of 1990, my grandmother gave me a boxed shape package for my tenth birthday. "What could it be?", I thought; the last couple of years I had received clothes. Not wanting to wait and guess any longer, I opened it, and inside I found the character who shortly became my most beloved heroine of all literature, Anne Shirley. I read the eight books in a little under a week, and in Anne, I found a friend, as Anne would say, a "kindred spirit". She grew up with me, and I with her,and I've found that over the years, she was a perfect role model. She had a love for life, and imagination, and so often in these times, children, who have grown up too fast, seem to forget those wonderful things. Anne is the child in all of us, people of all ages can benefit from her zeal. Since I first met Anne in 1990, I have read the series as least seven times. She keeps me grounded with my head in the clouds, which in this time, is a nice place to be, and I am hoping that my niece will become a friend of Anne Shirley's also, when I introduce them for Christmas this year. Maybe Anne will be her most beloved heroine also.
