    <body><![CDATA[For me, &quot;Rainbow Valley&quot; has always been the weak link in Montgomery's &quot;Anne&quot; books. It is more like a sequence of short stories rather than a cohesive whole, and I like her books better when there is a overall picture. Besides, I'm not fond of a few of the stories in this book. ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/43699953">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I really enjoyed this, but it doesn't seem to fit in with the rest of the series properly. Although all of the other 'Anne' books have secondary characters who have their own sub-plots, Anne was basically a sub-plot in this book! The Meredith family were very fun to read about, as all of Anne's char...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/16088327">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I don't understand how this story is in the Anne of Green Gables series.  They is hardly anything of Anne in this book; she's more like a distant character in the last 2 or 3 books; this one even more so.  This book really isn't even about her children.  I really Miss Marilla and even Mrs. Rachel.  ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/76859588">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[After having read through the trials and tribulations of Anne as she grew up, married, had children, made a life and a home, Rainbow Valley was a little startling in its pure concentration on the kids. Suddenly it was all nightmares and bosom friends and school tribulations again, with only glances ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/30395037">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I had read &quot;Anne of Green Gables&quot; with my 6th grade class several years ago.  Then about two years ago my step-mother gave me the complete set of &quot;Anne&quot; books.  This summer I began reading the rest of the series and I have one more to go.  Each of the books is wonderful.  They ha...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/35892048">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Montgomery makes a come back with this book... while the series went a bit downhill, the addition of the Meredith kids made this book really hold my interest. There were some parts I skimmed, but nothing like the previous few books. Having the kids more grown-up reminds me of the first Anne book, wh...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/24161067">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This was quite a fun and interesting book (more about the Meredith children than Anne's children), although at first it was slow-going.  But I read the second half of the book in one afternoon.  I can't agree with every sentiment in the book, but overall it was an enjoyable read.]]></body>

These books are amazing--incredibly well-written, wholesome but funny, and really moving.
