Cute story, poorly written.

I read this book when I was little for the first time...and I return every couple of years. The stories...the red headed character...the Canadian back drop of the past....led to a lot of day dreaming. Two words- Gilbert Blythe. :)

Second (15th!!??) reread--- I decided to return to Prince Edward Island and attempt to finally finish the series. I lost interest when I was little once Anne started having kids and staying at home. I heard this happened with a lot of young girls....
It was such a delight to return to PEI!! Avonlea, Charlottetown, Diana, Marilla, Ms Stacy, Gilbert....One big hug. This book attacks Anne's arrival to Avonlea and her time at school until she leaves for teacher's college. I still teared up at the end....but I won't say why. I wish I had had a Mathew. I cannot wait to dig up the next book (which will also be a reread).

Read if you need some comfort....and want to meet a red headed girl with a huge imagination.

I've read this book multiple times over the course of my life, and it always seems to remind me of the first time I read it as a child. It's utterly charming, despite the fact that some of it has not aged super well.

I still cried over Matthew's death and cringed my way through some of Anne's scrapes.

Such a sweet read, I can tell why it’s a classic. Missed the part that mentioned Matthew and Marilla were siblings at the beginning. Anne is so creative and has such a positive outlook on the world even with her difficult childhood which landed her in an orphanage. She could be so bitter but instead she lets her mind take her where she can’t go. She enjoys the little things as much as the big things. Her imagination is inspiring and I loved the development of the relationships with Marilla and Matthew. I may or may not have cried at the end. Such a cheerfully budding lesbian, I’m glad that Diana feels the same way and that they will continue to live in avonlea together
