The Anne books are more popular, but the Emily books are deeper and darker, and some of my favorite young adult literature. Like Anne, Emily is an orphan, and goes to live with conservative relations. The three b...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1400641">more...</a>]]></body>

At that point you can decide if you even want to know what happened in the first of the book.  You may be better off not knowing.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I put this in the &quot;would have liked it better if I were 10 yeas old&quot; category. I liked it better than Emily of New Moon, but not half as well as any of the Anne books. <br/><br/>Even after years of rereads, Anne never annoys me; with this, however, I spent most of the book wanting to sma...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/55286264">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[The main lesson to be taken from the final book in the Emily trilogy? Know thyself. It causes pain and heartache, but it is only through a strong sense of self that Emily ultimately comes into her own and finds personal and professional success. A wonderful conclusion to a wonderful series.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This one was easily my favorite of the series.  In fact, it saved the series for me!  The first book was cute, the second was almost painfully slow.  It's funny - the reviews of this book were a little negative, so I was sure that I wouldn't like this one much.  I am happy to be wrong!

    <body><![CDATA[Another re-read; probably more like a 3.5.  The ending is simultaneously unexpected and completely expectable - perhaps what I mean is that it's a bit abrupt.  <br/><br/>Ilse is so wild - it's almost surprising to see her as a character in an LM Montgomery book.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I was alright with this book until the ending.  It was almost as if L. M. Montgomery said, &quot;I have to finish this book right now!  I've got a deadline!&quot; and just conjured up a quick conclusion. ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Whatever you do, don't just read the Anne of Green Gables and then give up on L.M. Montgomery.  This is the last in the &quot;Emily&quot; series, and is a lot darker than you'd expect.  (In a good way.)]]></body>
