Anne of Green Gables - a review






Anne of Green Gables.L.M. Montgomery.1908
Signet.320 pages.

When I was in elementary school I was given a copy of Anne of Green Gables from a librarian who thought that I would really enjoy it. I fell in love. That was at least 19 years ago. Recently I found the collection of all of the books featuring Anne for sale on Amazon in ebook format. Finally, after so many years, I picked up Anne of Green Gables again.

I think that what attracts so many people to Anne and her world is that she is an insanely likable character, who finds where she belongs. The other characters in the book are just as rich: Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert, Diana Barry, Gilbert Blythe, and even Mrs. Rachel Lynde. I also believe that people are attracted to the story because it's so timeless, and we can all relate a bit to Anne's passions, insecurities, and incredible imagination.

Anne of Green Gables is truly a wonderful read no matter your age.


I rated this book 5 out of 5 stars on Goodreads.
