I don't often give books five stars and as I neared the end of this book, I gave some thought to how many stars this book deserved. I've read the Anne of Green Gables series once before - over twenty years ago. In spite of the amount of time that has elapsed, I clearly recall reading the last book in the series very slowly and thinking to myself, "I will be so sad to not be able to read about Anne anymore." When I picked up this book a few days ago to re-read it, I found within a few chapters that it was like seeing an old friend. Anne was even more delightful than I recalled, since I now have daughters who share her "scope for imagination," her penchant for large words and her zest for life. Reading about Anne's appreciation for life's loveliness made me appreciate my daughters and long to live more in-the-moment myself. So, I decided that a book that feels like an old friend after twenty years deserves five stars.
Anne Shirley must be one of the most delightful characters ever written, largely because she is far from perfect. She makes mistakes, as we all do, but her mistakes are much funnier than my own feel and she makes me see the value in learning from each of them, laughing at them and moving on. Like my middle daughter, there is no lukewarm with Anne. I love that she approaches life enthusiastically, despite have spent a decade belonging to no one.
I also like that Anne talks straightforwardly about wanting, seeking and building friendships. Even now, I am hesitant, awkward and scattershot at building relationships. I may meet someone who seems a kindred spirit, but lack the time or, let's be honest, sheer boldness to approach them and seek to build a friendship. We see Anne seek and build relationships not only upon her arrival in Avonlea, but during her time at Queens.
One reasons I re-read this book was because two friends recommended it for it's fluency in writing dialogue. Unlike Little Women, which I attempted to read for the writing, this book did not disappoint. The dialogue sounds exactly like each character would sound and it flows smoothly from narration to dialogue and back. In fact, I'm baffled that Little Women routinely makes top 100 lists while Anne of Green Gables is nowhere to be found on the lists of must-read classics. Unlike the Little Women characters who are archetypes rather than three dimensional characters, Anne is a bold a female character who refuses to be categorized. That's exactly why I love her and love this book.

How do you review a book that transcends books?
Do you ever love a book so much that it doesn鈥檛 feel like a book? You鈥檙e so immersed and reading is so effortless that you don鈥檛 feel like you鈥檙e reading at all? The characters are real enough to be people, and their problems and happinesses feel like they鈥檙e happening to you?
That was me with this book.
Which is all well and good until it comes down to reviewing it.
Basically what I鈥檓 saying is I鈥檓 at a loss for words. I鈥檓 saying I have nothing TO say. This is just too damn good.
I didn鈥檛 read this as a kid, or for many years after. I didn鈥檛 think I鈥檇 be interested. I had a copy for years with no intention of picking it up, because I am shallow as hell and only bought a copy in the first place because it鈥檚 pretty. (In my defense: look HOW pretty.) Honestly, I can鈥檛 remember why I decided to read it in the first place.
But I am very, very, VERY glad I did.
I love Anne so much. I love Green Gables. I love Diana, I love Matthew and Marilla, later on I love Gilbert (although I don鈥檛 really understand how people love him from this book alone. Not much to see).
After reading this, I was obligated to chase the high of the reading experience by picking up the next two installments as quickly as possible, and they were just as good. Mostly. But still an unparalleled level of good.
I guess what I鈥檓 trying to carry across here is that somehow this hundred year old children鈥檚 classic about an orphan girl moving to a rural island in Canada was one of the most unputdownable books I鈥檝e ever read.
And also the writing is as pretty as the cover.
Bottom line: I want to live in this book, please and thank you.

"Dear old world," she murmured, "you are very lovely and I am glad to be alive in you."
This quote really accurately depicts how Anne lives her life and what makes you love her as a character. She's stubborn and makes mistakes, but she also has a huge imagination and sees the world as beautiful and full of possibilities.
I loved this SO much and I'm sad I never read it before! I love all the characters and the plot, and it's really fun to see Anne grow up through this book. The writing is also really really lovely.
I can't wait to read the sequels and follow Anne's story!
This has made it up to my favorite books of all time list, that's for sure.

I didn't think I could love this book more but somehow I do?? I AM SO EMOTIONAL.

"OH, Marilla"
"Fancy. It鈥檚 always been one of my dreams to live near a brook. I never expected I would, though. Dreams don鈥檛 often come true, do they?"
"It鈥檚 been my experience that you can nearly always enjoy things if you make up your mind firmly that you will."
Anne of Green Gables will always have a very special place in my memory, for it offered one of the loveliest, most wonderful stories I've ever read. This is something you could keep on reading for ever without tiring or loosing interest. I loved every chapter, every paragraph, every line, and down to the every little bit of it.
鈥淥h, Marilla, can I go right now鈥攚ithout washing my dishes? I鈥檒l wash them when I come back, but I cannot tie myself down to anything so unromantic as dishwashing at this thrilling moment.鈥�
Instead of narrating a perfect word with perfect occurring, this book offers a very much realistic existence, where the reader is met with all kinds of emotion. One could hardly conceal laughing in certain parts just as it is hardly possible to hold a tear in another part.
"Which would you rather be if you had the choice鈥攄ivinely beautiful or dazzlingly clever or angelically good?"
Personally, I would've love if the book contained more narration on Anne's first two years, and move on to the next years from next book, though I guess it's coming from my own selfish need to have a better ending with Matthew. But on the other hand, I guess that inevitable reality of life adds to how the books is imprinted even deeply in one's mind and memory. In any case, the book forever remain one of my all time favorites.
"Diana, wilt thou give me a lock of thy jet-black tresses in parting to treasure forevermore?"
鈥淢arilla, isn鈥檛 it nice to think that tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it yet?鈥�
鈥淥h, Matthew, isn鈥檛 it a wonderful morning?"

鈥�Dear old world,鈥� says Anne Shirley, 鈥�you are very lovely, and I am glad to be alive in you.鈥� Books like this, the long beloved Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery, make me feel this sentiment deep in my bones. Despite it all, how can I not love a world and a humanity that brought this into existence. This book is perfectly splendid and I only wish I had read it as a child. Yet, traveling across Canada recently with this book, I was pleased to discover it could still build a bonfire in my adult heart to warm me with joy, still bring a frequent smile to my face and outbursts of gleeful laughter. 鈥�Anne with an 鈥榚鈥�鈥� is an early ADHD icon who鈥檚 poetic 鈥�thoughts rove all over creation鈥� whom鈥攁s the rest of Avonlea soon discovers鈥攊s impossible not to love and I saw so much of my younger self in her. A coming-of-age tale wrapped in a sweet innocence that champions being yourself and embracing mistakes as an opportunity to learn and grow, what really brought this novel to heart for me were the ways in which Anne鈥檚 offbeat personality cracks the stale and rigid expectations of a community and allows everyone to grow along with her. Community and shared growth are central to this story and this is as much a story about Avonlea as it is the Anne who makes it her home. Still touching hearts young and old since it was first published in 1908, Anne of Green Gables is an endearing and enduring classic.
鈥� I shall give life here my best, and I believe it will give its best to me in return.鈥�
There is a lot to love about Anne of Green Gables, but also a lot of messages to take to heart. An aspect I am particularly fond of in literature aimed at children is how the most successful ones can distill important themes in accessible ways that can enter our hearts to bathe us in pure shining light that always feels so pleasantly positive and empowering. There's multitudes to learn from Anne. For instance:
鈥擜lways embrace and learn from mistakes: 鈥�Next to trying and winning, the best thing is trying and failing.鈥�
鈥擣ind the good and fun in everything: 鈥�Life is worth living as long as there's a laugh in it.鈥�
鈥擜 positive attitude makes a big difference: 鈥�It鈥檚 been my experience that you can nearly always enjoy things if you make up your mind firmly that you will.鈥�
鈥擯ay attention to the small joys and details in life: 鈥�All things great are wound up with all things little.鈥�
鈥擥ive people a chance: 鈥�Miss Barry was a kindred spirit after all鈥ou wouldn't think so to look at her, but she is.鈥�
鈥擜lways prepare for setbacks: 鈥�There is always another bend in the road.鈥�
鈥擲tart over fresh and don鈥檛 let setbacks get you down: 鈥�Tomorrow is always fresh, with no mistakes in it.鈥�
There are many more, such as the importance of friendship, admitting faults and embracing imagination not just for oneself but to help it flourish in others. Going through these got me thinking how delightfully quotable and altogether memorable this novel is and it is no surprise this novel has continuously been endeared as an enduring classic. Even those who haven鈥檛 read the novel are likely familiar with certain scenes or lines, like the often quoted 鈥�I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers,鈥� which happens to arrive at the start of the same chapter in which the famous scene occurs where Anne accidentally gets Diana drunk on currant wine thinking she is serving raspberry cordial. The novel plays out in rather episodic moments such as this (which lends itself to the both animated and live action) with fairly contained action-consequence-resolution formats that build on each other to follow the course of Anne鈥檚 childhood into young adulthood. And it is a joy to watch Anne grow up.

What makes this book truly great are the characters. Anne, of course, but Marilla and Matthew are just as charming and engaging. I love Marilla who is struggling but earnest about trying to understand Anne and comes to really love her. As Matthew tells her, raising Anne won't be difficult 'if you only get her to love you,' and watching the relationship grow between her and Anne is so heartwarming. While sometimes she just wants Anne to shut up and stop being weird she can't help but privately enjoy how offbeat she is. I suspect this is a novel where those who read it in youth will identify with Anne but those who read it as adults (and especially as parents) will have a real appreciation for Marilla much like how everyone talks about which daughter from they are until they reread it as an adult and realize how much Marmee speaks to them. That was the case for me at least. But also wow did Anne speak to my heart and remind me of my pre-teen self.
'There's such a lot of different Annes in me. I sometimes think that is why I'm such a troublesome person. If I was just the one Anne it would be ever so much more comfortable, but then it wouldn't be half so interesting.'
The fictional town of Avonlea is nestled upon Prince Edward Island in Canada, which was also the birthplace and childhood home of author Lucy Maud Montgomery. While not an orphan as Anne was, Maud lost her mother at the age of two and when her father remarried she was sent to live with her grandparents. So one can see a twinkle of inspiration for the young Anne who (for those who don鈥檛 know the story), due to a misunderstanding, is sent to be adopted by aging siblings Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert. 鈥�She鈥檚 been a blessing to us,鈥� they learn, 鈥�and there never was a luckier mistake.鈥� Maud was fond of reading as a child and, like Anne, loved poetry. 鈥�Don't you just love poetry that gives you a crinkly feeling up and down your back,鈥� Anne states, and in Anne we find quite the poet as well with long rambling chatter that moves 鈥�from safe concrete to dubious paths of abstraction.鈥� In Montgomery discusses how novels were banned in her grandparents house but she had access to all the poetry she liked, and in her own writing there is certainly an impressive and delightful sense of the poetic. Montgomery pops off with excellent consonance quite frequently with phrases like 鈥�the waif of the world,鈥� but her vibrant imagery is certainly pure poetry. A favorite moment occurs right from the start with the images of Avonlea in bloom with an enraptured Anne finally rendered speechless. It is a critical image because it is in Avonlea that Anne is also able to bloom into the amazing person she becomes.
Prince Edward Island
鈥�What good would she be to us?鈥� Matthew asks Marilla when she questions keeping Anne, reminding her 鈥�we might be some good to her.鈥� This idea permeates the text and we see how community is so important. 鈥�True friends are always together in spirit,鈥� Anne teaches us and there are few more lovely friendships in fiction than Anne and her 鈥�bosom friend鈥� Diana. To watch Anne grow up is also to watch Diana grow up and to watch them love and support each other (I quite agree with the more recent adaptations, such as the modern-setting graphic novel Anne that portray them as a sapphic romance, besides *nose in air*I don鈥檛 think Gilbert is good enough for my Anne). Anne also comes to think of others as 鈥�kindred spirits鈥欌€攕uch as Aunt Josephine who essentially becomes her benefactor after taking a liking to Anne while she apologizes for jumping onto her in bed by accident鈥攁nd that we can find kindred spirits everywhere if we are willing to get to know people.
鈥�Evidently she did not like talking about her experiences in a world that had not wanted her.鈥�
Friends are also important to Anne as she never had them before, unless you count Katie Maurice (her reflection) or Violetta (her echo). Her attachment to them is rather telling because not only was it a sign of her strong imagination but also because they were simply an extension of herself鈥揂nne only had herself and coming to Avonlea. But we also see how Anne struggles at concepts like religion, which Marilla realizes is not due to irreverence but rather how can Anne comprehend divine love if she鈥檇 never experienced love from another before (though her distaste for God for having given her red hair鈥攁 constant struggle that leads to a very humorous scene about dying her hair and also is a point of contention where Gilbert calling her 鈥渃arrot鈥� cuts far too deep鈥攊s quite amusing). Anne had to learn community in general. Over the novel we see she thrives at this due to her imagination, something she says is easy 鈥�if you鈥檇 only cultivate it.鈥� Anne perfects how to bring out the imagination in others, something that鈥攆ollowing in the footsteps of her mentor, Miss Stacy鈥攎akes her career as a schoolteacher a perfect fit to utilize such abilities. Sure, sometimes imagination can backfire like when she becomes afraid of the haunted woods, but it is also a path through that fear.
鈥�Ever since I came to Green Gables I鈥檝e been making mistakes, and each mistake has helped to cure me of some great shortcoming.鈥�
Though one of the greatest lessons in this book, I think, is the rather optimistic approach to embracing mistakes and learning from them. Each moment of growth comes from something initially thought of as an error (getting Diana drunk, almost drowning in the river) and finding it to be a teachable moment for the self. Though this extends beyond Anne too, as some of the friction Anne comes up against in the community becomes an opportunity for growth for them as well, or even with the Cuthberts who quickly learn that adopting a child is more about the child being an asset to the farm but a person to help grow and cultivate love, and be loved in return.
鈥�We ought always to try to influence others for good.鈥�
This is such a lovely novel, one that encourages imagination, friendship, love, and appreciation of the world around us. For Anne, simply being out in nature and basking in the light of life is enough to 鈥榝eel a prayer鈥� and in our encounters with Anne we too can feel it within ourselves. Though this is also a story of hard work, finding joy in simply learning and not having to always be the best, and also the importance of persistence. Anne of Green Gables is a marvelous story for readers both young and old, and I greatly enjoyed my time in Avonlea.
5/5
I also really love this edition of the book.
鈥� I shall give life here my best, and I believe it will give its best to me in return.鈥�
There is a lot to love about Anne of Green Gables, but also a lot of messages to take to heart. An aspect I am particularly fond of in literature aimed at children is how the most successful ones can distill important themes in accessible ways that can enter our hearts to bathe us in pure shining light that always feels so pleasantly positive and empowering. There's multitudes to learn from Anne. For instance:
鈥擜lways embrace and learn from mistakes: 鈥�Next to trying and winning, the best thing is trying and failing.鈥�
鈥擣ind the good and fun in everything: 鈥�Life is worth living as long as there's a laugh in it.鈥�
鈥擜 positive attitude makes a big difference: 鈥�It鈥檚 been my experience that you can nearly always enjoy things if you make up your mind firmly that you will.鈥�
鈥擯ay attention to the small joys and details in life: 鈥�All things great are wound up with all things little.鈥�
鈥擥ive people a chance: 鈥�Miss Barry was a kindred spirit after all鈥ou wouldn't think so to look at her, but she is.鈥�
鈥擜lways prepare for setbacks: 鈥�There is always another bend in the road.鈥�
鈥擲tart over fresh and don鈥檛 let setbacks get you down: 鈥�Tomorrow is always fresh, with no mistakes in it.鈥�
There are many more, such as the importance of friendship, admitting faults and embracing imagination not just for oneself but to help it flourish in others. Going through these got me thinking how delightfully quotable and altogether memorable this novel is and it is no surprise this novel has continuously been endeared as an enduring classic. Even those who haven鈥檛 read the novel are likely familiar with certain scenes or lines, like the often quoted 鈥�I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers,鈥� which happens to arrive at the start of the same chapter in which the famous scene occurs where Anne accidentally gets Diana drunk on currant wine thinking she is serving raspberry cordial. The novel plays out in rather episodic moments such as this (which lends itself to the both animated and live action) with fairly contained action-consequence-resolution formats that build on each other to follow the course of Anne鈥檚 childhood into young adulthood. And it is a joy to watch Anne grow up.

What makes this book truly great are the characters. Anne, of course, but Marilla and Matthew are just as charming and engaging. I love Marilla who is struggling but earnest about trying to understand Anne and comes to really love her. As Matthew tells her, raising Anne won't be difficult 'if you only get her to love you,' and watching the relationship grow between her and Anne is so heartwarming. While sometimes she just wants Anne to shut up and stop being weird she can't help but privately enjoy how offbeat she is. I suspect this is a novel where those who read it in youth will identify with Anne but those who read it as adults (and especially as parents) will have a real appreciation for Marilla much like how everyone talks about which daughter from they are until they reread it as an adult and realize how much Marmee speaks to them. That was the case for me at least. But also wow did Anne speak to my heart and remind me of my pre-teen self.
'There's such a lot of different Annes in me. I sometimes think that is why I'm such a troublesome person. If I was just the one Anne it would be ever so much more comfortable, but then it wouldn't be half so interesting.'

Are you also die-hard fan of Netflix series: Anne with an E! And also have you been pouting since the day you have heard the cancellation news? If your answer is no, that鈥檚 fine, you just miss another epic visual feast, shame! Especially the teen romance Anne and Gilbert is guaranteed to make you smile and warm your heart.
But before that, if you want to revisit the joy, innocence, naiveness, beauty of your childhood, just grab this book and meet with orphan Anne Shirley whose positive, optimistic, exciting energy is contagious. And you may prefer audiobook version to listen the powerful narration of Rachel McAdams.
For decades this book has been considered as children novel but it also teaches us so many things about life, parenthood, friendship, questioning town鈥檚 people鈥檚 biased, hypocrite thoughts and wrongful beliefs through the eyes of a little girl who has been accidentally adopted by Cuthberts: Marilla and Matthew: brother and sister who needed a boy to help them at farm鈥檚 chores. But as you may imagine Anne found a way of enchanting them with her pure joy and excitement. Yes, she stayed with them to be their mischievous, unique, cheery, smart daughter.
Here are my favorite quotes of the novel:
鈥淧eople laugh at me because I use big words. But if you have big ideas, you have to use big words to express them, haven't you?鈥�
鈥淲hy must people kneel down to pray? If I really wanted to pray I鈥檒l tell you what I'd do. I'd go out into a great big field all alone or in the deep, deep woods and I'd look up into the sky鈥攗p鈥攗p鈥攗p鈥攊nto that lovely blue sky that looks as if there was no end to its blueness. And then I'd just feel a prayer.鈥�
鈥淚sn鈥檛 it nice to think that tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it yet.鈥�
鈥淜indred spirits are not so scarce as I used to think. It's splendid to find out there are so many of them in the world.鈥�
This time I鈥檓 thanking 欧宝娱乐 to put this book in 鈥淢ost Popular 100 YA books list鈥� and reminded me of how much I enjoyed it when I was a kid so helped me revisit my memories. As an adult, I still wholeheartedly adore this book! It truly made my whole weekend.

"Excitement hung around Anne like a garment, shone in her eyes, kindled in every feature."
Oh, what sheer pleasure it was to spend just a moment in time with Anne and her delightful companions in this little classic. What pure joy to catch a glimpse of the beauty of Prince Edward Island. I am likely one of the last persons on earth鈥� well, on 欧宝娱乐 at least鈥� to read this novel. What in the world was I waiting for?! As a child and adolescent, I wrongly assumed that this book would be of no interest to me. I wasn鈥檛 a 鈥榞irly girl鈥� and surely this was written for 鈥榯hat sort鈥� of reader, right? Wrong! By the time I was old enough to know better, I thought I had grown too mature in years to pick this one up. Wrong again. The 鈥榮ort鈥� of reader that this does appeal to however: one who appreciates exquisite writing and vibrant characters, one who relishes being steeped in another time and place, and one who enjoys an all-out fantastic story. In short, this book should satisfy nearly everyone!
You can鈥檛 help but fall in love with Anne. She is the friend you have always longed for, the daughter that will bring that much-needed light in your life, that student that any teacher would be proud to instruct. She is funny, imaginative, bright, and a regular chatterbox. She laments about her red hair, apologizes for being a 鈥榞reat trial鈥� to Marilla, and always manages to see the positive in most everything. However, she does maintain a long-standing rivalry with her peer, Gilbert Blythe. "She was as intense in her hatreds as in her loves." Nothing is ever lukewarm when it comes to Anne鈥檚 feelings.
There were moments I wanted to laugh with her and moments when I wanted to cry. When she first arrived at Green Gables, Anne learned that it had all been a mistake. For, Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert meant to adopt a young boy to help with the chores. A little girl was not needed. It nearly crushed me when Anne fell in love with Green Gables only to find that she must surely be turned away and carted straight back to the orphanage. "Have you ever noticed what cheerful things brooks are? They鈥檙e always laughing鈥� I shall always like to remember that there is a brook at Green Gables even if I never see it again." What transpires after this will melt even the most hardened hearts.
Some might say this book is too wholesome, too charming, and perhaps too unrealistic. I have to say that I don鈥檛 believe those are good enough reasons to skip reading this enchanting novel! It didn鈥檛 take place just yesterday so I didn鈥檛 expect the trials and tribulations of today鈥檚 day and age. The events do occur on an idyllic island, so I felt the beautiful scenery I was immersed in was wholly believable. Anne is not a perfect little girl and each character has their share of flaws. Not every story has to be full of doom and gloom to get all the stars! Sometimes one just needs to sit back, relax, and just surrender to the small pleasures in life. We could all use a lesson from Anne鈥檚 book of optimism here and there!

The beloved classic 1908 novel about an orphan girl who mistakenly comes to the Prince Edward Island home of aging brother and sister Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, who just wanted an orphan boy to help Matthew with chores. After an initial kerfuffle about sending Anne back to the orphanage and getting the boy they had intended, hearts are softened, and Anne proceeds to upend their lives ... in what turns out to be very good ways for everyone involved.
Anne is eleven years old when she first comes to Green Gables, and the novel follows her adventures over the next five years. It鈥檚 kind of an episodic novel, with memorable characters. Anne is a chatterbox with a tremendously vivid imagination, passionate and sincere. Marilla and Matthew are drawn so well that I feel like I really know them (though it's disconcerting to realize that Matthew in the book has a long beard. My mind's eye refuses to see him that way, LOL. The miniseries has co-opted my imagination). And then there's Anne鈥檚 classmate Gilbert, who lives to regret some initial teasing about Anne's hair.
This novel has a healthy sense of humor that sets it apart from most literature of this period and keeps it from being too sticky sweet. It鈥檚 really so charming, with great insights into human nature, and lovely descriptions of P.E.I. It's a feel-good story and a total comfort read!
Anne of Green Gables spawned a slew of sequels and five other related novels, not to mention any number of film and TV adaptations. Not all of the sequels are great reads like this one - they start getting progressively more sappy - but I do recommend the first four books in this series if you liked this one.

This story is cute, touching, heart-warming, tear-jerking. In other words, a classic!
The target audience is definitely not me. I would say it would be perfect for a teenage girl living in Canada in the early 1900s. That makes sense, because that is exactly what Anne is! However, the point of this obvious detail is that sometimes it is fun to read a classic and try to put your mind in the mindset of who it was written for at the time. A couple of the storylines seemed silly or to not make sense, but if I stopped and changed my mindset, it would click.
A bit of a history lesson combined with a well written story. If you haven't read this before, give it a shot and maybe you will find your inner early 1900s Canadian teenager!

Another fantastic reread. Feeling very nostalgic this year, and classics like this are a breath of fresh air! Wonderful.

Anne of Green Gables, L.M. Montgomery
Anne of Green Gables is a 1908 novel by Canadian author Lucy Maud Montgomery (L. M. Montgomery). Written for all ages, it has been considered a children's novel since the mid-twentieth century. It recounts the adventures of Anne Shirley, an 11-year-old orphan girl who is mistakenly sent to Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, a middle-aged brother and sister who had intended to adopt a boy to help them on their farm in the fictional town of Avonlea on Prince Edward Island. The novel recounts how Anne makes her way with the Cuthberts, in school, and within the town.

Anne of Green Gables is a 1908 novel by Canadian author Lucy Maud Montgomery (L. M. Montgomery). Written for all ages, it has been considered a children's novel since the mid-twentieth century. It recounts the adventures of Anne Shirley, an 11-year-old orphan girl who is mistakenly sent to Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, a middle-aged brother and sister who had intended to adopt a boy to help them on their farm in the fictional town of Avonlea on Prince Edward Island. The novel recounts how Anne makes her way with the Cuthberts, in school, and within the town.

4.5 stars
Anne, my lovely, I feel restored.
Full RTC.
Pre-review:
You know what? I've been wanting to reread these books for probably a decade, and I'm still (inexplicably) battling my ever present book funk, so I'm just gonna do it.
Gilbert Blythe, you were my first and best book boyfriend. See you soon ;)
Anne, my lovely, I feel restored.
"Marilla!" Anne sat down on Marilla's gingham lap, took Marilla's lined face between her hands, and looked gravely and tenderly into Marilla's eyes. "I'm not a bit changed鈥攏ot really. I'm only just pruned down and branched out. The real me鈥攂ack here鈥攊s just the same. It won't make a bit of difference where I go or how much I change outwardly; at heart I shall always be your little Anne, who will love you and Matthew and dear Green Gables more and better every day of her life."

"I don't know what lies around the bend, but I'm going to believe that the best does."
I cried, I laughed, and I fell in love.
I grew up watching these movies because my mom just absolutely loves them but I've never really been that interested in reading the book. I knew I'd read it someday but it wasn't a top priority at all. I had to read this for my can lit course this semester and boy am I ever glad for that. I absolutely adored this story. Anne is such a darling and she just makes me look at the world differently and want to use my imagination more, she makes me feel like a kid again. I loved all the characters and the writing was fantastic. The ending just made me want to read the rest of the series! LOVED IT!

Heart-Warming And Charming But鈥︹€�
Anne of Green Gables has a lot going for it. I read the adorable pink Puffin Classic hardcover version while listening to my *free* audiobook from Audible narrated by none other than Rachel McAdams (the actress from The Notebook).
This book is so good that I picked up a stray reader while listening to the audiobook.
Set in Canada, an elderly couple, Matthew and Marilla, want to adopt a tween orphan boy to help them with chores around the farm. However, due to some miscommunication, the couple receives an opinionated, outspoken, imaginative girl, Anne. The couple quickly becomes smitten with her and decides she can stay.
Montgomery perfectly captures the essence of these formative years where one questions one鈥檚 identity. Anne contemplates the exact name she would like to be called and even the spelling.
In 1908, when Anne of Green Gables was first published, strong female characters in literature were not as prevalent. And, of course, I am a sucker for books with strong female leads.
贬辞飞别惫别谤鈥�
The premise of this story is faulty. In my experience, people on a farm still have work to do. Instead of just being bewitched by Anne鈥檚 charm, I wish she would have helped more around the farm and used her imagination to improve things.
There is a thin line between visionary and imagination, and, disappointingly, this line was never explored.
Further, Anne has a friend, Diana, whose path veers from Anne鈥檚. However, her storyline seems to be suddenly dropped. Did she get married? What did she do with her life?
Also, some of the paragraphs were too long. Anne would go on and on, and, while I understand the author wants to convey that Anne is excited and talkative, this point is a bit overdone.
Anne of Green Gables is better than Little House on the Prairie but not quite as good as Little Women.

I never read Anne's story when I was younger, so when I heard that Rachel McAdams was narrating the first in the series I knew I had to give it a go. I'm a sucker for a celebrity-narrated audiobook (if you haven't checked out Maggie Gyllenhaal's reading of , do that now!).
It's wonderful to read a story that, for the most part, is extremely uplifting. There's hardly anything truly terrible that happens in this story, and that's quite refreshing. Granted, it is a children's novel and from the early 1900's鈥攕o it has that moralistic quality to it wherein each incident Anne undergoes resolves itself with a lesson learned. But it was delightful, and Anne's optimism is contagious. Rachel McAdams also does a great job at encapsulating that attitude; I felt like I could hear her smile.
If, like me, you've never given Anne's story a chance, I can highly recommend the audiobook route. And I'm definitely going to continue listening to this series, especially when I'm in need of a pick-me-up.

Anne of Green Gables is everything. I got interested in reading this book after hearing Ariel gush about it for years. And I initially wanted to save it for October (鈥淚'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.鈥� 鈥� duh) but I'm so glad that I didn't. I fell sick in February and was in the mood to read a cute children's book, which is why I picked up this book.
Anne of Green Gables recounts the adventures of Anne Shirley, an 11-year-old orphan girl, who is mistakenly sent to two middle-aged siblings, Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, who had originally intended to adopt a boy to help them on their farm, Green Gables, in the fictional town of Avonlea in Prince Edward Island, Canada. The novel recounts how Anne makes her way through life with the Cuthberts, in school, and within the town.
And yes, it's a story suitable for children but I feel like it hits closer to home as an adult. Much of its humor (and believe me, this book is HILARIOUS) would have been lost on me as a child. Also the intricate character dynamic of Anne and her new foster parents. I am really happy that I read it as an adult.
Anne of Green Gables is charming, hilarious, heart-warming, and gut-wrenching at the same time. I didn't expect to laugh out loud (for real, no hyperbole!) every other page. Every single joke landed with me. Montgomery's witty writing style, the banter, Anne's hilarious monologues and Marilla's unsympathetic responses, the little adventures and mishaps that Anne gets herself into on a daily basis 鈥� it's all so wonderful.
This book feels like a spring morning, with the first sun in months on your skin, it tastes like your favorite apple pie, it smells like the ocean. I know I'm repeating myself but it is simply wonderful. I didn't expect to fall in love with Green Gables and its inhabitants as much as I did 鈥� Anne, Matthew and Marilla will always have a place in my heart. As well as the other inhabitants of Avonlea, most notably Diana (who is a queen), Gilbert (who is everything), Mrs. Rachel Lynde (who is an icon!), and Miss Stacy (who is doing the Lord's work out here). I love all of them more than life itself.
Anne of Green Gables did not only make me laugh in ways I haven't laughed in a long time (at a book), it also made me cry, more like historically sob over the pages, so much so that they're wavy right now. Since I had read through the chapter titles before jumping into the story, I was pretty certain that something would happen at the end of the book that would completely wreck me. And yes, I was right. It happened. And it wrecked me. [I'm really happy that the show, "Anne with an E", took a different approach and didn't include that event in any of their three seasons. I would not have been able to handle it again.]
The only minor criticism I have of this novel is that it could've been 50-70 pages shorter. The first half was AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING 鈥� like I said before, literally laughing out loud on every page 鈥� but when Anne grew up, I felt like Montgomery could've told her story a little more tighter, as some of Anne's adventures and mishaps just started to feel repetitive and I wanted to see her character growth a bit earlier.
Nonetheless, I still flew through this 400+ pages children's classic in four days 鈥� whilst nursing a headache 鈥� so it was still a true page-turner for me. I cannot wait to return to the world of Avonlea some day 鈥� ya'll have convinced me to give the second and third book in the series a shot. I need to see more of my baby Gilbert!
Favorite/ notable moments: (spoilers ahead!)
鈥� 鈥業f Marilla had said that Matthew had gone to Bright River to meet a kangaroo from Australia Mrs Rachel could not have been more astonished.鈥� 鈥� from the first chapter on I knew I was going to be in for a fun ride; Montgomery's wit and humor is unmatched and EXACTLY my cup of tea
鈥� 鈥楽he was sitting there waiting for something or somebody and, since sitting and waiting was the only thing to do just then, she sat and waited with all her might and main.鈥� 鈥� and from her first appearance, I fell in love with Anne Shirley
鈥� Anne telling Matthew: 鈥業鈥檝e never belonged to anybody 鈥� not really.鈥�
鈥� 鈥榃ill you please call me Cordelia?鈥� she said eagerly. 鈥�Call you Cordelia! Is that your name?鈥� 鈥� Marilla was like WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON UP IN HERE???
鈥� 鈥業 can鈥檛. I鈥檓 in the depths of despair.鈥� 鈥� half of the humor is that Anne is so fucking extra, she's the most dramatic of children and her vocabulary is UNMATCHED
鈥� 鈥楢nd when people mean to be good to you, you don鈥檛 mind very much when they鈥檙e not quite 鈥� always.鈥� 鈥� I found it really interesting how differently Anne鈥檚 past abuse are portrayed in the book vs the show ("Anne with an E"), it's much more explicit in the show due to all the horrifying flashback scenes where we see Anne getting whipped by her former foster parents and bossed around, bullied and assaulted at the orphanage, the book is much less overt
鈥� however, similarly to Harry Potter, it's pretty unrealistic that Anne got out of these horrifying situations without any mental issues or problems, just like Harry, she's basically the purest, most naive and even confident and self-assured child, and whilst I love that for her, it's not a realistic portrayal of how children who are abused/neglected FOR YEARS during their early childhood and teenage years feel and act
鈥� Marilla telling Anne: 鈥淚 haven鈥檛 any use at all for little girls who aren鈥檛 neat.鈥� was such a fucking low point, I love Marilla but especially in the beginning of the book she is highly manipulative and emotionally abusive towards Anne (by dangling the threat of not keeping her over her head constantly), it was hard to read
鈥� However, it is worth of note that Marilla is the one shouldering most of the responsibility of Green Gables, therefore, she has to be the practical (harsher) one, whereas Matthew 鈥� who comes across as more sympathetic 鈥� can allow himself to keep his head in the clouds and indulge Anne's every whim (but only BECAUSE Marilla manages everything)
鈥� 鈥業 never say any prayers.鈥� [鈥 Marilla decided that Anne鈥檚 religious training must be begun at once. Plainly there was no time to be lost. 鈥� Marilla really was like WE BROUGHT A HEATHEN TO THIS HOUSE
鈥� 鈥業鈥檇 love to call you Aunt Marilla,鈥� said Anne wistfully. 鈥� WHY IS SHE SO PURE?
鈥� After Mrs Rachel calls her ugly: 鈥榊ou have hurt mine worse than they were ever hurt before even by Mrs Thomas intoxicated husband. And I鈥檒l never forgive your for it, never, never!鈥� 鈥� first of all, Rachel was an ass for that, but more notably, again, we get some hints at Anne's past abuse but nothing specific ... due to the fact that it's left to the imagination, one imagines the worst, but if Rachel calling her ugly is worse than anything Mr Thomas did, then it couldn't have been as bad as I first imagined (= sexual assault)
鈥� 鈥楶uffed sleeves are so fashionable now. It would give me such a thrill, Marilla, just to wear a dress with puffed sleeves.鈥� 鈥� I love her more than life itself!
鈥� When Anne and Marilla went to pay the Barrys a visit, so that Anne could be introduced to Diana, Mrs Barry asked: 鈥橦ow are you?鈥� And Anne replied: 鈥業 am well in body although considerably rumpled in spirit, thank you, ma鈥檃m,鈥� said Anne gravely.
鈥� 鈥業 don鈥檛 feel that I could endure the disappointment if anything happened to prevent me from getting to the picnic. I suppose I鈥檇 live through it, but I鈥檓 certain it would be a lifelong sorrow.鈥� 鈥� ANNE HAS ZERO CHILL
鈥� 鈥業 believe this child is crazy.鈥� 鈥� same, Marilla, SAME
鈥� After Marilla forbids her to attend the picnic: 鈥楳y heart is broken. You鈥檒l feel remorse of conscience some day, I expect, for breaking it, Marilla, but I forgive you.鈥�
鈥� Anne wishing she鈥檇 been the one who nearly drowned during the class trip instead of Jane Andrews 鈥� LOL
鈥� Mr Phillips can suck my ass => whipping his students, humiliating them in front of the class, and let's not talk about the Prissy situation (PUKE) ... I love how they showed his true colors in the show!
鈥� Once, when nobody was looking, Gilbert took from his desk a little pink candy heart with a gold motto on it, 鈥榊ou are sweet鈥�, and slipped it under the curve of Anne鈥檚 arm. (HOW SWEET) Whereupon Anne arose, took the pink heart gingerly between the tips of her fingers, dropped it on the floor, ground it to powder beneath her heel, and resumed her position without deigning to bestow a glance on Gilbert. (CAN SHE CHILL? NO? OH, OKAY.)
鈥� After Diana鈥檚 mother forbids her to associate with Anne (due to the wine debacle) and the girls have to say their farewell: 鈥楾en minutes isn鈥檛 very long to say an eternal farewell. Oh, Diana, will you promise faithfully never to forget me, the friend of your youth, no matter what dearer friends may caress thee?鈥�
鈥� 鈥楧iana gave me a lock of her hair and I鈥檓 going to sew it up in a little bag and wear it around my neck all my life. Please see that it is buried with me, for I don鈥檛 believe I鈥檒l live very long. Perhaps when she sees me lying cold and dead before her Mrs Barry may feel remorse for what she has done and will let Diana come to my funeral.鈥� 鈥� I AM TELLING YOU SHE HAS NO CHILL
鈥� 鈥楳arilla, isn鈥檛 it nice to think that tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it yet?鈥�
鈥� Marilla literally being xenophobic, she literally hates all foreigners and only trust Canadians ??? (鈥楬ow often have I told you never to let one of those Italians in the house! I don鈥檛 believe in encouraging them to come around at all.鈥� OKAY KAREN)
鈥� In the sudden stab of fear that pierced to her very heart she realized what Anne had come to mean to her. => I really love Marilla's arc (in regards to Anne) though, she started out as this tough "unfeeling" woman and came to love her like her own daughter, BEAUTIFUL!

Update 1: For the first time in my life, I got myself a Netflix subscription. Yes, it was for Anne with an E. Just watched the first episode (literally sobbed the whole time). I HAVE ZERO REGRETS. Can't wait to see where this show takes me!
Update 2: It has only taken in a week to watch the entirety of all THREE SEASONS of "Anne with an E" (...and oh boy I HAVE SO MANY THOUGHTS, not all pleasant, especially when it comes to how trauma-ridden and separated and unresolved the storylines of the Black and indigenous characters were...) and I need more of this world. I can't believe that season 3 basically ends where book 1 ends ... with Anne wanting to go to college. GAAAAAAH. I wanted so desperately to see her in college and SEE her relationship with Gilbert ... guess I'll have to read book 2 and 3 after all. Will place my order shortly lmao.
Anne of Green Gables recounts the adventures of Anne Shirley, an 11-year-old orphan girl, who is mistakenly sent to two middle-aged siblings, Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, who had originally intended to adopt a boy to help them on their farm, Green Gables, in the fictional town of Avonlea in Prince Edward Island, Canada. The novel recounts how Anne makes her way through life with the Cuthberts, in school, and within the town.
And yes, it's a story suitable for children but I feel like it hits closer to home as an adult. Much of its humor (and believe me, this book is HILARIOUS) would have been lost on me as a child. Also the intricate character dynamic of Anne and her new foster parents. I am really happy that I read it as an adult.
But really, Marilla, one can鈥檛 stay sad very long in such an interesting world, can one?I feel like this book can be truly hit or miss for people, and it all hinges on whether or not you will take to Anne as a character. She's a child, 11 at the beginning of the book, 16 when it ends, so she is definitely annoying af at times, self-centered, oblivious to the problems of other people, she literally won't shut up and I'm positive that her dialogue makes up at least 60% of this novel. ;) So, she's not a character that just everyone will love. But if you do, you will fall head over heels in love with this book.
Anne of Green Gables is charming, hilarious, heart-warming, and gut-wrenching at the same time. I didn't expect to laugh out loud (for real, no hyperbole!) every other page. Every single joke landed with me. Montgomery's witty writing style, the banter, Anne's hilarious monologues and Marilla's unsympathetic responses, the little adventures and mishaps that Anne gets herself into on a daily basis 鈥� it's all so wonderful.
This book feels like a spring morning, with the first sun in months on your skin, it tastes like your favorite apple pie, it smells like the ocean. I know I'm repeating myself but it is simply wonderful. I didn't expect to fall in love with Green Gables and its inhabitants as much as I did 鈥� Anne, Matthew and Marilla will always have a place in my heart. As well as the other inhabitants of Avonlea, most notably Diana (who is a queen), Gilbert (who is everything), Mrs. Rachel Lynde (who is an icon!), and Miss Stacy (who is doing the Lord's work out here). I love all of them more than life itself.
Anne of Green Gables did not only make me laugh in ways I haven't laughed in a long time (at a book), it also made me cry, more like historically sob over the pages, so much so that they're wavy right now. Since I had read through the chapter titles before jumping into the story, I was pretty certain that something would happen at the end of the book that would completely wreck me. And yes, I was right. It happened. And it wrecked me. [I'm really happy that the show, "Anne with an E", took a different approach and didn't include that event in any of their three seasons. I would not have been able to handle it again.]
The only minor criticism I have of this novel is that it could've been 50-70 pages shorter. The first half was AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING 鈥� like I said before, literally laughing out loud on every page 鈥� but when Anne grew up, I felt like Montgomery could've told her story a little more tighter, as some of Anne's adventures and mishaps just started to feel repetitive and I wanted to see her character growth a bit earlier.
Nonetheless, I still flew through this 400+ pages children's classic in four days 鈥� whilst nursing a headache 鈥� so it was still a true page-turner for me. I cannot wait to return to the world of Avonlea some day 鈥� ya'll have convinced me to give the second and third book in the series a shot. I need to see more of my baby Gilbert!
Favorite/ notable moments: (spoilers ahead!)
鈥� 鈥業f Marilla had said that Matthew had gone to Bright River to meet a kangaroo from Australia Mrs Rachel could not have been more astonished.鈥� 鈥� from the first chapter on I knew I was going to be in for a fun ride; Montgomery's wit and humor is unmatched and EXACTLY my cup of tea
鈥� 鈥楽he was sitting there waiting for something or somebody and, since sitting and waiting was the only thing to do just then, she sat and waited with all her might and main.鈥� 鈥� and from her first appearance, I fell in love with Anne Shirley
鈥� Anne telling Matthew: 鈥業鈥檝e never belonged to anybody 鈥� not really.鈥�
鈥� 鈥榃ill you please call me Cordelia?鈥� she said eagerly. 鈥�Call you Cordelia! Is that your name?鈥� 鈥� Marilla was like WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON UP IN HERE???
鈥� 鈥業 can鈥檛. I鈥檓 in the depths of despair.鈥� 鈥� half of the humor is that Anne is so fucking extra, she's the most dramatic of children and her vocabulary is UNMATCHED
鈥� 鈥楢nd when people mean to be good to you, you don鈥檛 mind very much when they鈥檙e not quite 鈥� always.鈥� 鈥� I found it really interesting how differently Anne鈥檚 past abuse are portrayed in the book vs the show ("Anne with an E"), it's much more explicit in the show due to all the horrifying flashback scenes where we see Anne getting whipped by her former foster parents and bossed around, bullied and assaulted at the orphanage, the book is much less overt
鈥� however, similarly to Harry Potter, it's pretty unrealistic that Anne got out of these horrifying situations without any mental issues or problems, just like Harry, she's basically the purest, most naive and even confident and self-assured child, and whilst I love that for her, it's not a realistic portrayal of how children who are abused/neglected FOR YEARS during their early childhood and teenage years feel and act
鈥� Marilla telling Anne: 鈥淚 haven鈥檛 any use at all for little girls who aren鈥檛 neat.鈥� was such a fucking low point, I love Marilla but especially in the beginning of the book she is highly manipulative and emotionally abusive towards Anne (by dangling the threat of not keeping her over her head constantly), it was hard to read
鈥� However, it is worth of note that Marilla is the one shouldering most of the responsibility of Green Gables, therefore, she has to be the practical (harsher) one, whereas Matthew 鈥� who comes across as more sympathetic 鈥� can allow himself to keep his head in the clouds and indulge Anne's every whim (but only BECAUSE Marilla manages everything)
鈥� 鈥業 never say any prayers.鈥� [鈥 Marilla decided that Anne鈥檚 religious training must be begun at once. Plainly there was no time to be lost. 鈥� Marilla really was like WE BROUGHT A HEATHEN TO THIS HOUSE
鈥� 鈥業鈥檇 love to call you Aunt Marilla,鈥� said Anne wistfully. 鈥� WHY IS SHE SO PURE?
鈥� After Mrs Rachel calls her ugly: 鈥榊ou have hurt mine worse than they were ever hurt before even by Mrs Thomas intoxicated husband. And I鈥檒l never forgive your for it, never, never!鈥� 鈥� first of all, Rachel was an ass for that, but more notably, again, we get some hints at Anne's past abuse but nothing specific ... due to the fact that it's left to the imagination, one imagines the worst, but if Rachel calling her ugly is worse than anything Mr Thomas did, then it couldn't have been as bad as I first imagined (= sexual assault)
鈥� 鈥楶uffed sleeves are so fashionable now. It would give me such a thrill, Marilla, just to wear a dress with puffed sleeves.鈥� 鈥� I love her more than life itself!
鈥� When Anne and Marilla went to pay the Barrys a visit, so that Anne could be introduced to Diana, Mrs Barry asked: 鈥橦ow are you?鈥� And Anne replied: 鈥業 am well in body although considerably rumpled in spirit, thank you, ma鈥檃m,鈥� said Anne gravely.
鈥� 鈥業 don鈥檛 feel that I could endure the disappointment if anything happened to prevent me from getting to the picnic. I suppose I鈥檇 live through it, but I鈥檓 certain it would be a lifelong sorrow.鈥� 鈥� ANNE HAS ZERO CHILL
鈥� 鈥業 believe this child is crazy.鈥� 鈥� same, Marilla, SAME
鈥� After Marilla forbids her to attend the picnic: 鈥楳y heart is broken. You鈥檒l feel remorse of conscience some day, I expect, for breaking it, Marilla, but I forgive you.鈥�
鈥� Anne wishing she鈥檇 been the one who nearly drowned during the class trip instead of Jane Andrews 鈥� LOL
鈥� Mr Phillips can suck my ass => whipping his students, humiliating them in front of the class, and let's not talk about the Prissy situation (PUKE) ... I love how they showed his true colors in the show!
鈥� Once, when nobody was looking, Gilbert took from his desk a little pink candy heart with a gold motto on it, 鈥榊ou are sweet鈥�, and slipped it under the curve of Anne鈥檚 arm. (HOW SWEET) Whereupon Anne arose, took the pink heart gingerly between the tips of her fingers, dropped it on the floor, ground it to powder beneath her heel, and resumed her position without deigning to bestow a glance on Gilbert. (CAN SHE CHILL? NO? OH, OKAY.)
鈥� After Diana鈥檚 mother forbids her to associate with Anne (due to the wine debacle) and the girls have to say their farewell: 鈥楾en minutes isn鈥檛 very long to say an eternal farewell. Oh, Diana, will you promise faithfully never to forget me, the friend of your youth, no matter what dearer friends may caress thee?鈥�
鈥� 鈥楧iana gave me a lock of her hair and I鈥檓 going to sew it up in a little bag and wear it around my neck all my life. Please see that it is buried with me, for I don鈥檛 believe I鈥檒l live very long. Perhaps when she sees me lying cold and dead before her Mrs Barry may feel remorse for what she has done and will let Diana come to my funeral.鈥� 鈥� I AM TELLING YOU SHE HAS NO CHILL
鈥� 鈥楳arilla, isn鈥檛 it nice to think that tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it yet?鈥�
鈥� Marilla literally being xenophobic, she literally hates all foreigners and only trust Canadians ??? (鈥楬ow often have I told you never to let one of those Italians in the house! I don鈥檛 believe in encouraging them to come around at all.鈥� OKAY KAREN)
鈥� In the sudden stab of fear that pierced to her very heart she realized what Anne had come to mean to her. => I really love Marilla's arc (in regards to Anne) though, she started out as this tough "unfeeling" woman and came to love her like her own daughter, BEAUTIFUL!
鈥� 鈥業 don鈥檛 believe I鈥檇 really want to be a sensible person, because they are so unromantic. Mrs Lynde says there is no danger of my ever being one鈥︹€� 鈥� Rachel telling it straight as it is
鈥� AUNT JOSEPHINE ... I loved her in the books already (her asking the girls to sent her more story? HOW PURE) but her take on the show (literally being a lesbian icon) was also refreshing
鈥� Matthew telling Anne: 鈥楧on鈥檛 give up all your romance鈥︹€� I AM SOBBING鈥�
鈥� 鈥楾hat鈥檚 the worst of growing up, and I鈥檓 beginning to realize it. The things you wanted so much when you were a child don鈥檛 seem half so wonderful to you when you get them.鈥� 鈥� I didn't remember asking for a therapy session, hello?

Which books changed me as a reader?
One would like to answer that Tolstoy or Dostoevsky or Dickens or Lagerl枚f or Proust determined my path as a lifelong reader. But I doubt that is the case for most of us. They are more often the effect of falling in love with an entirely different kind of book, a root cause leading all the way to tackling Ulysses.
One of the most inspiring books I read as a young girl was the seemingly endless series of Anne (with an "e"), who has all the odds against her, and yet grows up to be a loving, caring, independent and determined woman who consistently follows the path her heart and brain dictate to her, even or especially when it goes against the narrow conventions of her conservative environment. She doesn't win the hearts of her community by being sweet and subdued and grateful, though. She wins them by showing bravery and creativity!
She taught me to love the poem "The Lady of Shalott", and I learned it by heart with her! She taught me small town prejudice and the value of education to stand above pettiness. She taught me that love can exist in the strangest of places, and I think I loved her in the same way her shy stepfather Matthew did. She taught me that one can be wrong and still get it right.
Lucy Maud Montgomery taught me the power of storytelling to change the hearts of adolescents who are reading and living in the world of fiction. For I have grown up in rural Canada a century ago. Yes, I have, several times! Just like I grew up in an English boarding school with Sarah Crewe, admiring the most when she was starving.

鈥淜indred spirits are not so scarce as I used to think. It's splendid to find out there are so many of them in the world.鈥�
Back in college, I had a friend who was completely obsessed with this book. She worked it into a shocking amount of conversations and I remember thinking that it really couldn鈥檛 be THAT good. A children鈥檚 book about an orphan girl in the middle of nowhere? Sounded pretty dull to me, but boy was I wrong! Here to eat crow because I just fell in love with this book. 馃槏
I鈥檓 not sure what I really expected, but I certainly wasn鈥檛 expecting Anne. I saw @s.penkevich describe her as an ADHD icon and I think that鈥檚 pretty spot on. As a very neurotypical person with a relatively quiet brain, I can鈥檛 even fathom processing all her thoughts and emotions, let alone allowing them all to fly out of my mouth in conversation. 馃槄 I often find that level of chatter exhausting and overstimulating, but there is something so lovable about Anne. She is so resilient despite her circumstances and has such a contagious fervor for life. I want to call her a bright light in a mundane world, but I bet Anne would scold me for calling the world 鈥渕undane,鈥� so I鈥檒l settle for saying she is a pure and beautiful soul. 鈾ワ笍
As much as I adored Anne, I loved Matthew Cuthbert even more. He may just be the sweetest man ever written. 馃ス I loved the juxtaposition of their two personalities and how well suited for each other they were despite their differences. She wasn鈥檛 what Marilla and Matthew thought they wanted but she was exactly what they needed. When he commissioned her a dress so she could have puffy sleeves like the other girls鈥� 馃ゲ馃槶 So adorable!! It seemed clear that he didn鈥檛 quite view himself as a father to her or think very highly of his contributions to her upbringing, but all I saw was an excellent dad! 鈾ワ笍
I was a little disconcerted when I realized the character I identify with most is probably Marilla. 馃槄 I鈥檓 choosing to see it as a positive that I鈥檓 sensible and dependable rather than thinking of myself as old and boring. 馃ぃ
By the way鈥� this IS a rivals-to-lovers romance, right?! Someone please tell me I鈥檓 not delulu about her and Gilbert because I am totally shipping them. I might have to read on just to see them together.
This is definitely in my top 5 classics now, maybe even top 3! Everyone should read this book! Trust me when I say that you will love it! 馃挆

As charming as she is Anne of Green Gables makes you fall in love with her not for her wit, but for her wholehearted love of life and the beauty of this world. She hates and loves with intense power for a little girl. I cried and smiled often during this story and I am so glad I finally read it.

Why I chose to listen to this audiobook:
1. a cousin loaned me her copies of the first three books in this series back when I was only 13-years-old. I remember enjoying them then, but I wanted to refresh my memory before continuing on with the rest of this series;
2. it is available for free on Hoopla; and,
3. July 2023 is my "O' Canada Month"!
Praises:
Author fleshes out her characters in a most heartwarming manner!
MC Anne Shirley - early on in the story, I had to empathize with this spirited young girl's unfortunate upbringing. I wonder if her overactive imagination was a matter of survival during her earlier neglectful years. I found her to be quite endearing with her dramatic, passionate and kindhearted qualities. Her descriptive love of nature and pure meditative joy over the most simple things helped me envision her natural surroundings. Even though adoptive guardian Marilla Cuthbert's sarcasm and criticalness and nosy, busybody neighbor Rachel Lynde's downright rudeness are perfect foils, it was satisfying to see how they were eventually won over by Anne's innocence. And although she held grudges at times, overall, Anne is a most winsome, delightful character!
Overall Thoughts:
Set on Prince Edward Island in the early 1880s, Montgomery used her childhood memories to write this classic. Her descriptive settings made me feel like I was a part of the Avonlea community.
One must be in the right frame of mind before reading this story. Don't expect a strong plot or villains set out to make Anne's life miserable. Written in 1908 with youngsters in mind, it is a lighthearted, pleasant read.
Nostalgia at its finest!
