This has been my favorite of all the Anne books. Reminds of my college days!

Check out my reviews on the main page of each individual book!

I read and reviewed the two volumes collected here separately, so this is really just for my own records. Both got four stars from me, so the average is easy to work out. In a sense, the storyline is almost more cohesive when #4 in the series, Anne of Windy Poplars is cut out. Yes, it's a good book, but it's something of an interruption in the sense that Island is about the evolution of Anne's feelings for Gilbert and ends with their engagement, while Dreams follows their first couple of years of married life. The latter book was always my favourite of the Anne books anyway, and I do like her romance with Gilbert.

Another bit of escapism for me in this delightful story. This book seemed to have more going on in it than the previous one, like new arrivals, sad loses and then the revelation about Dick! That was a bit of a surprise!

I have a review of a separate copy of ANNE OF THE ISLAND, but this is my only copy of ANNE'S HOUSE OF DREAMS, so I will just review that. I loved, as always, more of Anne's story, and the beginning of her married life at Four Winds Harbour. Having read Anne at an older age when I myself was older, I love them equally as I did the young Anne when I was young. When I was young, I wasn't so interested in reading about Anne getting married, and having a grown-up life, but I appreciate her growing older as I have. And I love her dearly for it. The characters that come into her life, Miss Lavender, Paul Irving, and of course, the old dear ones, Marilla, Mrs. Lynde, and Diana, are, as always, such a delight, and Anne loves them as much as she could. I do, too. I can appreciate the beauty of her new home, living along the shores of the Bay of Fundy in New Brunswick, only a hop, skip, and jump from Anne's own shores...

Wonderful book. One of my favorites of the "Anne series". The characters had many of the winning qualities that we expect from LMM's characters but were just a bit more enjoyable this time. Cornelia Bryant's comments and observations were so funny. On the other hand, Captain Jim brought tears to my eyes as Matthew's passing again. Descriptive passages were like poetry and I could almost vuisualize the harbour and the red cliffs. This was at least my 4th reading of this book and it gives more pleasure each time I read it.

This is actually one of my favorite books in this series, and I am forever bitter that they mangled the movie version of it so badly. Montgomery is so good at writing real people, quirky crazy people that could still believably live next door. And, despite what most of the writing professors I have had may say, characters do not have do be sick and disturbed or spend 200+ pages doing horrible things to one another in order for them to be interesting.

Cute.
