When I was in sixth grade, I was in love with this book. I read the entire Anne series, but the first was my favorite. Anne is such a likable character, and reminded me a little of myself with her many accidents. Matthew, sweet and quiet, reminded me of my grandfather. This book made me cry every time I read it. L.M.Montgomery was a great author, and I reccomend any of her books highly.

This book was so good I actually finished it in one sitting. Anne is so charming, though by today's standards she would seem like the biggest suck up ever, but she does it out of sincerity, and considering the time period, its very good and hilarious at times.
After I read it, I was so enthralled into the her that I actually thought I was Anne for a couple seconds.

The movie is good if not better, its funnier, for sure, and Megan Fallows is the perfect choice for Anne. The Anne and Gilbert relationship may have been overplayed, but it is still worth watching.

I really enjoyed this book. It is about a brother and sister who want a little boy to work. When the brother Matthew goes to the train station to pick up the boy, there is a girl instead. My favorite part is when Matthew goes to pick up Anne. On the way back to the house Anne told Matthew that she liked to be called Ann with an e. In the end Anne gets to stay on Prince Edward Island. I liked the ending because Anne gets to stay.

For me, the main theme of this book is that love and acceptance can overcome quite a lot of years of neglect and other troubles, and that you learn the most from loving, even if it's love for a strange red haired orphan... It also teaches about the power of imagination - both for good (Anne making up friens when she didn't have any) and bad (the Haunted wood...). A must read for any book lover...

I have always loved the Anne of Green Gables series but if I were you I would buy one of the unillustrated versions. Fernandez did not do justice to the story with her illustrations. Anne of Green Gables is a timeless story even though it is set in a very specific era--a must read for all.
