Beautiful book! An incredible masterpiece! The only downfall was that Anne spoke a few times with what might be seen as disrespect to God, although I do not believe this was exactly L. M. Montegomery’s intention.

Anne of Green Gables is a book that is sweet, yet interesting. It can be a relatable book, because of the characters, but it is also nice to read a book that is fairly old, for some of us. It is a book based on a girl taken from an…

This book is filled with funny interactions, dramatic girls, and true morals. I loved how I would relate to Anne; talkative, loving, creative, and sometimes sassy, I enjoyed every bit of her story, this has become one of my all time…

I chose to read the novel after watching the CBC TV series "Anne with an E", a series with a wonderful cast bound and determined to turn a charming coming of age story into a diatribe on Black Lives Matter, LGBTQ and Truth and…

Anne of Green Gables is a great book and one of my favourites ever! The story takes place in 1876 and 1881 on the island of PEI. The book starts off with Rachel Lynde wondering why Matthew is out with the buggy. She goes to Marilla,…

This isn't a genre that I generally read or have an interest in, but the content was relatively fast paced and the writing style was fantastic. I found myself continually looking forward to the next disclosure of events in the life of…

I read this book every Spring. Anne's description of everything around her inspires the reader to see the world through her eyes and wonder at the beauty around them. I love to read about Anne's perception of the world through her…

One of my favorite novels of all time, Anne of Green Gables is a must-read classic that I highly recommend. The main character is outgoing and very creative, daydreaming very often. I remember reading this book many times over and over…

This book was my first full classical book and I liked it. I had tried reading ¨Pride and Prejudiced¨ and give up on the first chapter. There were lots of words I did not understand and I feel like it was not meant for my age. I am 14…

I remember my dad used to read this to me when I was little and later on the story is just as enduring. It reminds my of my childhood, and Anne is like a role model with her carefree and imaginative spirit.

Anne of Green Gables is a book that will make you fall in love with its "splendid" and "delightful" characters, but also throw you into the "depths of despair" along with its main character. This is a character-driven book that makes…

Anne of the Green Cables is a child appropriate book. It's very fun to read especially when you are young and like fun books to read.

I chose to read the Anne book I loved so much as a youngster and found that the story remained every bit as engaging for me as an older adult. What a treat! I plan to read more of the Anne books.

I have some nostalgia for this book as I read it for uni (I think) nearly 9 or more years ago. I definitely resonate with a character who does all she can but still ends making stupid mistakes as she lets her imagination run away with her…
