Summary: 5 Stars
I have read all the books about Anne in Polish, but I am positive that their charm transcends languages. They were my favorite childhood books and are still among the books to which I come back on rainy days (and I'm 22). They all are absolutely wonderful. The characters portrayed in the have become a part of my vernacular, I love them as I would love close friends and I worry about them as I read the books (even knowing the outcome, of course). I am also in the habit of re-reading my favorite chapters from the books about Anne. Read them, they will completely enchant you! (If you have already read the Anne series, try The Blue Castle, it is absolutely wonderful!)Book Review: I really enjoyed reading Anne of Green Gables.
Summary: 5 Stars
If anyone loves to read stories such as Little House on the Prairie, then you will love Anne of Green Gables. The story itself in essence, is quite nicely put together. It is,like most stories about people, a story about life and how to face it. As Anne herself begins to like people, and you like them for the same reasons. Or on the opposite, hate them as she does. It is a good book to look to if you need some cheering up. I myself can remember having read a few pages to keep me company. Her "scrapes" are altogether much to funny, and her vanities just as much. I happen to share her love for romantic things; especially trees.You will find her hopes great, her feelings truly felt, and her problems worth fixing. You shall also find the other characters just as fun loving, and just as caring as most friends are. you come to understand that just because Anne is an orphan, doesn't mean she doesn't have plenty of family willing to take of her and to bring her up to the world's standards. There are many lessons to learn from this book and I am sure you will find it quite enjoyable. Once you are done this one, you will definetly want to read the others in the set.Book Review: Mark Twain gave the best review of the first book, but . . .

Rainbow Valley (#7) was my favorite book when I was a child. I recently bought and read, or re-read, all of them. My purpose was to give them to my grandchildren, but I've decided that I can't give them up. So another set will go to them, and I'll keep the ones I've got, thank you!
You will probably find her prose a bit florid by modern standards. However, you will also find that she was |wonderful| at describing faces, personalities, and follies of the heart. In sum, Montgomery was one of the most meticulous writers to describe the human condition, and unlike most of the others truly adept in this difficult art, an optimist.
You may think you know Anne from the excellent CBC specials, but, "Ain't nothin' like the real thing."
