Book Reviews of The Complete Anne of Green Gables Boxed Set (Anne of Green Gables, Anne of Avonlea, Anne of the Island, Anne of Windy Poplars, Anne's House of Dreams, ... Rainbow Valley, Rilla of Ingleside)
Book Review: Childhood Favorite that Continues to Charm
Summary: 5 Stars
I can't think of a better set of books to give to a daughter, niece, granddaughter, etc. When I first read Anne, I was a little too young for some of the vocabulary, but I got through it, and really loved the books. They shaped my reading tastes and my imagination. Anne is funny and charming as a character, and Montgomery skillfully shows how she matures and becomes just as endearing as a woman. I could identify with Anne's flights of imagination and romance. Themes include family bonds, love, and passionate pursuit of learning. These are great universal themes that still ring true today. Montgomery also adds the occasional bit of satire of the prevalent denominations in Canada at the time. I enjoy these novels still because there is that more adult level at which they can be read, while still leaving out anything questionable for children. I can't wait to read these books to my daughter.Book Review: still super after all these years
Summary: 5 Stars
Even though Anne lived long ago and far away, she still speaks to us today. She becomes real as we live through her happy times and sad times. She does not always make the right decision and sometimes I want to say to her "What are you thinking?" If she needs a good cry, she goes ahead and has a good cry. Her moods are very understandable. Yet her optimism carries her through any situation.Book Review: Pure delight!
Summary: 5 Stars
The Anne of Green Gables Boxed Set is perfect! These stories take you
back to a magical time and place but they are still realistic. Each book
pulls you deeper and deeper into the set. My grandmother and I read
this series together and both loved it.
Highly recommended.

Summary: 5 Stars
These are wonderful books! I bought these after my son (age15) had an appendectomy to keep him from extreme boredom. We do read aloud time at our house and I had planned on using these books. These didn't make it that long. We have the Anne of Green Gables movies with Megan Fellows. But the books are even better than the movies, although the first movie follows the book really well. Needless to say, the whole family can't put them down. Everyone seems to want the one someone else is reading.
The books are durable and the pictures on the cover are pretty! I can't say enough good things about these books. Great value!!!!!!
