This story is cute, touching, heart-warming, tear-jerking. In other words, a classic!
The target audience is definitely not me. I would say it would be perfect for a teenage girl living in Canada in the early 1900s. That makes sense, because that is exactly what Anne is! However, the point of this obvious detail is that sometimes it is fun to read a classic and try to put your mind in the mindset of who it was written for at the time. A couple of the storylines seemed silly or to not make sense, ...more

One of the most charming books I have ever read. Such lovely language and wonderful characters. I only wish I had discovered this when I was Anne's age!

2019: So many new lessons to learn! Definitely a classic to come back to. This time I learned a lot from Anne’s approach to spirituality and religion. How she prays and shows reverence. And then how she changes her mind about religion or Christianity when she meets the new ministers wife. So good!

"Kindred spirits are not so scarce as I used to think. It's splendid to find out there are so many of them in the world.”
What a sweet, kindhearted classic. Anne of Green Gables is a children's book on many a favorites-list, and I can understand why: Anne's colorful dreams and adventures with her friends in Avonlea are the perfect pick-me-up. It's hard to feel down as Anne muses about the Lake of Shining Waters...and again forgets about the cake in the oven, haha.

I can’t think of a single negative thing to say about it. Now, hear me out. I think Montgomery creates lovely, complex characters. Reading the character dynamics and arcs was fascinating. When Marilla finally verbally tells Anne that she loves her, I was moved. As well, it’s clear how Anne matures over the course of the book - which spans years - and it was a believable change. She’s still that same imaginative, outspoken girl, but she knows how to carry herself better, ...more
