The famous red-haired orphan, ANNE OF GREEN GABLES is back, grown up and ready to start her first teaching job at the village school. Her best friend, her adopted mother, and her neighbor all share in her spirited adventures. Liza Ross sounds whiny as the eccentric Mr. Harrison, but she does well with most of the other parts. However, the listener may find it difficult to distinguish between Harrison's voice and that of Anne's adoptive mother. Anne's energy and verve project well, as does her mother's reserve and aloofness. Rapid violin music denotes chapter breaks. Timeless and sweet, this is a keeper.

 Escape to a wonderful new world!,
This review is from: Anne of Avonlea (School & Library Binding) The Anne of Green Gables series is truly amazing. Look at the number of people all over the world who are responding to this great series of books! And, they were written about 80 years ago. The first in the series was written in 1908. How Montgomery holds our attention in 2001 is remarkable. I enjoy the books because they are adventureous, humorous and romantic. Anne is the best female character in literature for young adults. This book, second in the series is sheer delight. You can escape into the world of Prince Edward Island and enjoy yourself. I think that the old world charm and innocence of the stories enchants people of all ages, all generations. |

Unforgettable,
This review is from: Anne of Avonlea (Tor Classics) (Mass Market Paperback) Without a doubt this classic piece of work shaped my life in various ways. I cannot emphasize how positive Anne Shirley is as a character. She is a heroine who is not only beautiful(spirit) but extremely intelligent. The most drastically different aspect of the novel is the fact that the romantic male character, Gilbert, gestures to the idea that "being smart is better than being pretty". How often spoken or written are those words? I believe that phrase is something young girls must recognize as well as understand in life. For beauty is fleeting and knowledge is eternal. Timeless and pure, I suggest this novel for anyone who loves a bit of comedy, romance,intrigue, and pure fun. This novel as well as the entire series is a gift. Enjoy! |

A VERY NICE FOLLOW UP - GOOD READING,
This review is from: Anne of Avonlea (Anne of Green Gables, Book 2) (Anne of Green Gables) (Paperback) Being a L.M. Montgomery fan helps of course, but this second book in her series is a great sequel to the Anne of Green Gables which started it all. The writing hold true to the author's form and the character development is as good as the first work in the series. My wife and I have been reading these books for years and never tire of them. Again, as with her first work, you have to remember the time these were written and the style and syntax used at that time. This particlar story starts where the last left off, Anne is sixteen and her adventure continues. I, for some reason, find these books rather comforting to read and recommend them highly. |

A sequel which is as good as the orginal!,
This review is from: Anne of Avonlea (Anne of Green Gables, Book 2) (Anne of Green Gables) (Paperback) In this, the second story of the Anne series, we become reacquainted with Anne and her friends, and we are introduced to many fascinating new characters who either make her feel like tearing her hair out or enrich her life. Although she is now sixteen and a fully fledged schoolmarm, she still displays the irrepressible knack for getting into scrapes that she had as a child, which include falling through a roof, dying her nose a ghastly colour, losing her temper with the irrascible Mr Harrison, her next door neighbour, and sowing the first seeds of love with Gilbert Blythe.
Millions of readers around the world are forever thankful that Lucy Maud Montgomery wrote several more books about Anne's escapades, for if she hadn't, we would forever be wondering what would have become of Anne, asking ourselves what kind of teacher would she have been like, would she have gone on to university, would she have married Gilbert Blythe and borne his children? When we contemplate asking ourselves these questions, we would perhaps feel amazed that a mere literary character has had such a profound effect on our lives. Then perhaps, after doing all this, we would then return to our bookshelf, pick up a story about Anne, read a few pages, and then we would know for sure why we have fallen eternally in love with her. |
A great book,
This review is from: Anne of Avonlea (Anne of Green Gables, Book 2) (Anne of Green Gables) (Paperback) I love this story. Echo lodge was great. It was about the last book where Anne is in Avonlea and a little girl. Very excellent book! |
