Growing up, I loved to read the Anne books by L. M. Montgomery. So it was with a slight twinge of trepidation that I revisited Anne of Green Gables. I was worried that she would not have aged well, that somehow I would have outgrown the fairy fancies. Fortunately, the book is so magnificent that I was instantly swept into that world once more.
Anne is a bright, vivid character with a well-developed voice. Her scrapes are entertaining, but entirely believable. Each character in this book is unique, but real.
Words really can't fully express my love for this book. I would spend more time trying, but I don't want to give away the ending. Let me just say this - if you haven't read this book, do it now. Not only is it a much-beloved classic, but it is good.
Length: Not long enough - that's why there are so many sequels.
Age Range: 10+
Genre: Children's/Young Adult
Additional Comments: I don't know why you're still reading this, when you are supposed to be reading Anne.
