I love this book. I originally had given this wonderful story 3 stars, in my defense I read this as a child. I recently purchased a Nook, I had held out but finally broke down and bought myself one. I still read "real" books too. Anyhoo I read this beauty again because it is offered as a free book through google, I decided why not reread it. I am so glad that I did.

Pollyanna is such a special and wonderful character. She finds joy in so much in everything and even when she is in a desperate situation she sees the best in life, and manages to find something to be glad about. I think this is a lessen we could all learn from Pollyana, that even when the world seems at it's darkest there are still things to be glad about.

If you need a book that makes you smile read this beauty of a book.

I can still see the images from the movie during my childhood. The overall theme is exactly as I remember. I should start playing the glad game. Some of the topics did seem mature for what I imagined the target audience was but it just makes it a great read for all ages.

My thought
Eshte nje liber shume frymezues dhe i jashtezakonshem. Te mrekullon ne cdo faqe dhe cdo germe. Te le pa fjale se si nje vajze e vogel si Poliana arrin te ndyshoje nje qyteze te merzitshme vetem me pozitivitet. Mendoj se cdo kush e do nje Poliana dhe nje doze prej saj ne jete.
