Rating: Summary: Anne of Green Gables Review: In Anne of Green Gables, the first installment of eight books, Lucy Maud Montgomery writes about Anne, a red-headed orphan who goes to live with the Cuthberts on Prince Edward Island. This book is set in the late 1800s. I liked this book because I could relate/connect to the twelve-year old's thoughts and problems. The best part about the book was that I realized how lucky I am to have parents and a best friend. This book was so memeorable that I remember every detail from the book, and the book made me laugh. I would give this book a five star rating for its superior style of capturing my imagination and love for this book. I would recommend this book to anyoone who can read and is above ten years old.

Rating: Summary: I really liked this book Review: Reading about Anne as a girl is a good introduction into the world of Anne as a lady.This book doesn't merit rereading as much as the others, but it's still very good.
Rating: Summary: Anne- The wonderful spirit we can love forever Review: I am now an adult, and let me tell you, many years after initally falling in love with Anne, I still absolutely love the Anne series of books. This is a character with so much heart, vivacity, energy, imagination; she is a true "kindred spirit" and I thoroughly recommend the book to all! For those who have read the book, there is a great miniseries of Anne of Green Gables AND Anne of Avonlea (the second installment in the Anne series)that can probably be rented at any [local video store]. This is great way to relive the book, and it is done so well. For those who have kids, they'll love it, heck I still love to watch it. Best Anne wishes to all!
Rating: Summary: Out of the doldrums with Anne, (with an "e") Review: I love this book! From the very start the dialouge intrigued me.The characters come to life in this rich layered epic tale of the orphaned Anne Shirley and her adolescent struggles which lead to many triumphs in this well told life drama. I particularly enjoyed the contrasting characters. Anne,with her talkative and energetic mannerisms. Marilla, the extremely dour Matriarch of Green Gables and soft spoken Mathew, the hard working brother of Marilla. Each character compliments one another even when they are clashing up against each other with opposing views. This tale swept me up and away from my life and delivered me into this magical place, Green Gables, a place, which I never want to leacve.
Rating: Summary: Lovely, but abridged Review: Who, if not Megan Follows, could read Anne of Green Gables? This is a wonderful collection, but not, as labled, unabridged. After listening to the tapes, we cross-checked with the books, and noticed significant gaps, many missing chapters. If you want the complete books, try another collection. That's what we have to do.
Rating: Summary: For Any Girl with a Scope of Imagination~ Review: I have wanted to read Anne of Green Gables for so long and finally did. Why did I wait?? I wish I would have read this book years ago. This is one of the best books I have ever read. Whether you are a child or adult you won't be able to help falling in love with Anne of Green Gables. This young Orphan is mistakenly sent to the home of brother and sister Matthew and Marilla. What they wanted was a boy to help around the house as they were getting older. What they got was a delightful little girl who warmed their hearts and touched their souls. Anne gets into all kinds of hijinks throughout the novel that will make you laugh with her and cry with her. Her imagination is unmatched. She is so insightful that you will find it impossible not to relate to her. Follow Anne through her escapades of learning what it is like to be wanted and loved by parents, finding her place in a strange school, and finally getting to have a bosom buddy..someone she can truly call a friend and share life's ups and downs with. As Anne sets one ambition after another for herself, you'll be cheering for her success. This would be a great book to read on your own or along with a child. When you're finished, Anne will feel like your own personal bosum buddy. This book is one you'll adore long after it's over.
Rating: Summary: GREATEST CLASSIC EVER! Review: I absolutely adore this book! When I first turned to the first page I was thinking about how boring it would be. Reading about an old gossip at the beginning isn't exactly considered a classic in my mind. But as I read on about the imaginative Anne Shirley in her encounters with Gilbert Blythe, the young man she hates with a passion, her love of 'kindred spirits', and the relationship that develops between her and the Cuthberts, I started loving the book more and more. The story written by the talented L.M. Montgomery captures the hearts of people everywhere. Anne is a spunky and appealing girl who takes you through adventures of happy and sad. Each character is appealing and the story of Anne is just great. If you haven't read this book already, you have missed out. I can't begin to describe how much you need to read this book. It is one of my favorite books and I will read it over and over again!!!
Rating: Summary: BEST BOOK EVER Review: Anne Of Green Gables is one of the best books ever written. It captures you by the 2nd chapter. As you read further into the book you come to love and know every single character as if they were standing right in front of you. If you have not read it I strongly recommend it and dont forget your box of tissues.
Rating: Summary: At last... Review: As the 27 year-old aunt of 2 neices, I have experienced my fair share of "stories aloud at bedtime." I'm constantly scouring the bookstores for appropriate reading material for a delightfully inquisitive 8 year-old and smart-as-a-whip 10 year-old. Have you ever noticed how much TRASH is peddled to girls of that age? It's next-to-impossible to find books that feature compelling heroines, that don't condescend to the reader, and that provide "oh please, Auntie, just one more chapter!" plots. In many so-called "children's books," precocious young characters mouth off to their parents and the bemoan hardships such as not adequately filling their training bras, or having to wait for puberty to arrive. Thank goodness for Anne. She is nothing like the the protagonists of these pathetic stories. Instead, she is spunky, imaginative and ever-resourceful. As an orphan, she has suffered truly sad times in her young life, but never whines or sulks. Anne is far from perfect: she talks too much, gets into lots of hilarious scrapes, and often wreaks havoc when she's trying to be helpful. But she is a joy. This book which is almost a century old (first published in 1908) presents a character who much more closely resembles my neices than anything Judy Blume managed to slop together only a few decades ago. Hooray for Anne.
