Summary: A must for any girl
Review: I was first introduced to _Anne of Green Gables_ through the TV movies when I was ten years old, and became immediately enchanted. I felt I had found a "kindred spirit" in Anne. My mother then went and found the boxed book set for me, which I continue to read today! From her insecurities about her looks ("if only I had raven black hair!") to her romantic (albeit sometimes misguided) romantic ideals, Anne is a character that any girl or young woman can identify with. Anne's intelligence, fierce independence, strong loyalty, and compassion make her a wonderful role model for girls and young women. These books should belong to every girl, and it is a true shame that the complete set is so difficult to find.

Summary: A Must-Read For Every Young Girl
Review: As a young girl, I had all 8 volumes of the Anne of Green Gables series. It took me to a place far away and a time long ago where people were innocent and pure. I see the modern options available for young readers today and have to say I am sorely disappointed with their content (with the exception of Harry Potter). If you have a little girl who has a love for reading, be sure to give her the gift of Anne Shirley and all of Lucy Maud Montgomery's colorful and warm characters. Your daughter will thank you for it...

Summary: Five Stars isn't enough!!!!
Review: My mother got me first interested in these books. Thanks to her sitting me down to cry with her over the movies, I read all eight books and cried with them. These books are absolute CLASSICS! They touch hearts and minds. I wanted to be Anne so many times, and then later on Rilla. They keep your amagination going and your lips smiling. I can not wait to get my own hardcover set and then aventually setting down with my daughter and reading them to her. These are books to be CHERISHED and passed on so that generations to come and enjoy the amazing Anne and her darling children.

Summary: Imaginative Red-Headed Girl
Review: I Love this series!!!! It's about a ecentric little orphan girl who came to the dull Green Gables on accident. She spends the rest of her childhood and teenhood with a rough old maid named Marilla, who in time learns to love her as her own. You will love these books. You will come to love Anne. I highly recommend them.

Summary: The Best Book in Literary History
Review: first of all, let me begin with I LOVE THIS BOOK! I have read this book more times than I can remember...easily more than a dozen...thus, I am going to set my mind to write a glowing review of it.This book portrays a stunning sketch of Canadian History and Culture in the late 1800s to early 1900s. The character personalities are so real and so amazingly "human" that one cannot help but fall in love with them. You really get a taste of PEI in its glory. This story is set in Avonlea, Prince Edward Island (Canada), a fictional settlement which is really Cavendish, Prince Edward Island, the place where Lucy Maud Montgomery, the author grew up. The main character is Anne Shirley...and eleven year old, enigmatic, imaginative, sparkling, highly intelligent orphan who is sent to Green Gables, a farmhouse in Avonlea, under the impression that she was to be adopted by a pair of elderly siblings, Matthew and Marilla Cuthburt. But, apon arrival to Green Gables, Anne discovers that there had been a horrible mistake...the Cuthburts never wanted a girl...they wanted a boy who could do the chores and help Matthew with the farm. Anne was was in the "depths of dispair". Matthew, on the drive home from the train station had taken a great shine to Anne and had his heart set on keeping her, regardless of any mistake. Marilla, however, was not so easily enchanted. She agreed to let Anne stay at Green Gables on trial, to see if she would behave herself and lend a helpful hand to Marilla. After the trial, Anne is welcomed to Green Gables and flourishes under the love of the Cuthburts and all Avonlea folk. Anne, however, has one big problem. Her Hair. It is a hopeless shade of carrotty red and Anne felt that it was the ugliest hair anyone could imagine. She was extremely sensitive about it and she was horribly embarrassed about it. On her first day of school, Anne's hair was made fun of by Gilbert Blythe, the smartest and handsomest boy in school. "Carrots! Carrots!" he said. Anne's temper got the better of her and she was so angry she broke a slate over his head. After that, for many years, she snubbed Gilbert every time he spoke to her and he developed a boyhood crush on her. Ah, but to keep this review interesting and the book mysterious, I will stop telling you the story and begin reviewing. The characters in the book are so well-defined that it seems to you that you know every character personally, like an old friend or neighbour. And by all means, don't let the age recommendation fool you either...this book can be read by all ages alike...and I have no doubt that this book will still be my avid favorite at the age of 85. The book is not boring, contrary to many opinions of those who read the first chapter of small print and historical settings. The discriptions will place you right into the heart of the story and you find you will laugh and cry while reading this story. Every time I read it I cry at a certain part which I'm not sure if I should reveal to you for fear of spoiling the good parts in the story, but it is dreadfully sad. If you read the book, then you will know what part I am talking about. The one saddest part in the whole story. Although this book has some old ideas and ways of expressing them, you will learn a great deal of Canadian history through them and there's no doubt in my mind that this book will still be popular decades and most likely even centuries to come.

Summary: Actually it's 10 out of 5
Review: I love Anne. She was my friend for years after I read the book when I was eight. I used to play that I was Anne and read her books over and over and over. I always liked the first one best though. When Anne had no restraint she just blurts out anything that was on her mind. This book is about a little girl with a huge imagination and anyone who has any imagination at all should read this book. Anne pours her whole self out to anyone who will listen and she is certainly deserves to be heard.

Summary: I'm grumpy but even I feel in love with Anne.
Review: Okay, this one's gonna be quick 'cause I'm mad at myself for liking it. Since the day I was born, I've been a cranky one. Everything bothers me, and when I was forced to watch the movie a few months back, I grumbled about it for the first two minutes then shut-up. My friends sat in awe as even I laughed and cried. By the end I was asked, "So, Mike, what did you think?" I didn't answer with words. Instead, my face turned red and a slight smile curled my lips. They all laughed and pointed. "Mikey liked it," one of them yelled. And so, I bought the book and loved it more than the movie. I will soon read the rest of the set, and I'm sure they'll be as lovely as the first. Uggh... I just said, "Lovely!" Repeat this to no one! I need to keep-up my image.

Summary: BEAUTIFUL, CLASSIC BOOKS - AN ABSOLUTE TREASURE TO OWN!
Review: I live on Prince Edward Island, the home of "Anne of Green Gables" and the author, Lucy Maud Montgomery. My husband is a distant relative of the author. The author of these delightful books lived only twenty-three miles from my home. The Japanese, more than any other culture, for some reason appear fascinated by this incredible red-haired girl, and they flock in great numbers to see her homestead and related places of interest, each summer, year after year. The history of the books and the author, are a major touist attraction here on the Island. There has also been a television series produced based on the series of books, and each summer the "Anne Production" attracts thousands of people to the live-theatre production in the Island's capital City of Charlottetown. Needless to say, due to the series' long-standing, phenominal success, the characters in each of the books are strong and well developed. Each adds their own beauty and warmth to the series. Although the books are of particular interest to children 10-12 years of age, there are probably as many, if not more, adult women who collect the books and greatly enjoy the stories of the "spirited red-headed girl." This series of eight volumes contains Anne of Green Gables, Anne of the Island, Anne of Avonlea, Anne of Windy Poplars, Anne's House of Dreams(which are the five most popular in the series) and, Anne of Ingleside, Rainbow Valley and Rilla of Ingleside(less popular, but still worth reading.) Another excellent book which is not part of the series but by the same author and my favourite as a child, is "The Story Girl." All these books are considered collector's items by many. They are books you are sure to cherish and pass on to your children in the years to come.
