Anne of Green Gables: Three Volumes in One by L.M. Montgomery
4.0
I did not have the pleasure of reading "Anne of Green Gables" as a young girl. It was recommended to me by my good friend and partner-in-reading, Hannah Johnson.
Going into it, I was afraid that Anne would be a sickeningly sweet Pollyanna-type character, and she was. However, I got used to the ramblings and she grew on me. I found "Anne of Green Gables" to be a special story. I admired Anne's imaginings and all the trouble she got into. The story was also boosted by Marilla and Matthew.
The second story in the series, "Anne of Avonlea" disappointed me. The Anne in "Green Gables" was lost, and not just because the character grew up. The plot was a little boring, and Anne seemed more like a spectator than the character who made the story.
Finally, there was the fifth book of the series: "Anne's House of Dreams." I liked this story just as much as "Green Gables," since Anne came back into the spotlight. I laughed when she laughed, and cried when she cried. It wasn't until she lost her first child that I realized how attached I was to her. It really did seem like a House of Dreams.
Shout out to Cornelia, who constantly kept me laughing!
