This book is honestly precious. If you are looking for something simple and sincere, this is the one for you. The book paints the world through the eyes of a child, transporting us back to that time in our own lives when the world felt incredibly vivid and adventurous as we encountered it for the first time.
ps. for my own personal record I read this in French, but goodreads doesn't have that version available.

I feel as if Anne was my bosom friend or a kindred spirit. What an exceptional character!
The loose ends tie perfectly. Such a perfect ending to a book!

Such a cute book
(My book had only half the book, which I just don't understand, why would you do that, still cute, but I gotta look for the other part)

It was absolutely wonderful. I laughed. I cried. And I am astounded at how amazing it was. Anne has my whole heart.

Aquí va lo que seguramente sea una opinión impopular: Ana es un personaje que no me gustaba demasiado al principio. Para mí, sobre todo en los primeros capítulos, es demasiado habladora, dramática e incluso manipuladora aunque, en el fondo, entiendes por qué es así y, con el paso de las páginas, inevitablemente, le acabas cogido cariño. 'Ana la de Tejas Verdes' es el viaje de su protagonista desde la niñez hasta la adolescencia, es verla crecer y madurar pero siempre desde un punto de vista lleno de aventuras (y alguna que otra travesura) donde Avonlea y sus paisajes son otro personaje más. El libro se lee en seguida porque sus capítulos cortos hacen que, sin darte cuenta, ya estés empezando el siguiente. Es la típica novela que tiene algo especial pero no sabes el qué, solo que necesitas leer una página más (o más de una).
A decir verdad, he echado de menos que otros personajes como Gilbert o Ruby tuvieran más protagonismo porque esta primera novela se centra mucho en Ana, Marilla y Matthew pero confío en que en las siguientes sepamos más cosas sobre ellos y otros personajes. Pensé que sería más feminista (quizá por "culpa" de la serie) pero tiene mensajes que están muy bien para una novela de hace más de un siglo.
Seguramente no sea 100 % objetiva porque me encantó 'Anne with an e' pero si has visto la serie y estás pensando en leer el libro (y viceversa) hazlo porque no te arrepentirás. Ambos productos son muy buenos y merecen mucho la pena.
Muy recomendable para todas las edades.

This is my all-time favorite book. I love Anne's sassy, romantic and poetic disposition and her determination to call her fire-red hair "auburn." She gets herself into scrapes, time and time again, much to my delight, yet they are a reflection of true living child!
When I was in middle school, I even gave my best friend and I the code names of "Anne" (me, of course!) and "Diana." Of course, it was "Anne with an E." This is how we addressed our notes in class to one another!

I watched Anne with an E three times now this week and I just can't stand how it ended that I went to the books, finally. I knew they changed a lot in the series to modernize and diversify its message, not exactly what or how much, but now that I've read this, I'm really perplexed. Those three seasons didn't even cover everything in this first book. Apparently, because of the added characters, events, and themes.
I miss Cole, Bash, and Mary and their family, as well as Ka'kwet and her family. The AWAE's Miss Stacy, Aunt Jocasta, Diana, Jerry, Matthew and Marilla, and almost all of the girlfriends Anne has changed quite a bit in the series and fortunately, for the better. Well, maybe except for Jane and Billy Andrews. Jerry is only mentioned a few times in this book, like Miss Stacy, and she's a proper 'lady' here. Marilla and Matthew's connection to Anne doesn't have that full gumption as they were in the series. Gilbert was scarcely in the book and there were no family troubles or the necessary adventure for an arc. In the series, he was portrayed to be really mature and you know, all that smolder-worthy repute, but here, he seems to be quite a normal smart boy and a tad bit of a lady's man.
I'm really trying hard to picture them as they had in the series, despite everything. However, as I am desperate, I will continue this series, as its appeal and masterpiece haven't dwindled that much in spite of time.

Maybe, also because Matthew died here prematurely, but I still cried.I'm really trying hard to picture them as they had in the series, despite everything. However, as I am desperate, I will continue this series, as its appeal and masterpiece haven't dwindled that much in spite of time.
