Anne, an eleven-year-old orphan, is sent by mistake to live with a lonely, middle-aged brother and sister on a Prince Edward Island farm and proceeds to make an indelible impression on everyone around her.
cransell: The Country of Pointed Firs really reminded me of Anne of Green Gables - although not at all focused of a child or growing up. But if you enjoy one, you'll likely enjoy the other.
3.5 stars. I felt myself torn between loving Anne, but also being annoyed with her. Maybe it's because I sympathized with Marilla, and know what it's like to be in the presence of a child that just never stops talking. I grew up loving the movies, and the book shed a different light on Anne that I didn't necessarily like. Or maybe it's because I'm becoming more like Marilla and less like Anne.... *shudders*
I did however ugly cry when Matthew died. He will forever be my favorite character. ( )
A bit dated, but enjoyable! I never read it as a child, but my daughter loved it. It's been in my classroom library for over 20 years. I am glad I finally took the time to read it. ( )
Always love the story of Anne of Green Gables, so going to mostly comment on the narration. This new Audible Studios production is narrated by the actress Rachel McAdams. She reads the part of Anne brilliantly, but I found her reading of the other characters and general narration to be pretty flat and lacking independent personalities as far as the characters go. ( )

Mrs. Rachel Lynde lived just where the Avonlea main road dipped down into a little hollow, fringed with alders and ladies' eardrops and traversed by a brook that had its source away back in the woods of the old Cuthbert place; it was reputed to be an intricate, headlong brook in its earlier course through those woods, with dark secrets of pool and cascade; but by the time it reached Lynde's Hollow it was a quiet well-conducted little stream, for not even a brook could run past Mrs. Rachel Lynde's door without due regard for decency and decorum; it probably was conscious that Mrs. Rachel was sitting at her window, keeping a sharp eye on everything that passed, from brooks and children up, and that if she noticed anything odd or out of place she would never rest until she had ferreted out the whys and wherefores thereof.

"Marilla, isn't it nice to think that tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it yet? … Oh, don't you see, Marilla? There must be a limit to the mistakes one person can make, and when I get to the end of them, then I'll be through with them. That's a very comforting thought."
"There's such a lot of different Annes in me. I sometimes think that is why I'm such a troublesome person. If I was just the one Anne it would be ever so much more comfortable, but then it wouldn't be half so interesting."
Marilla felt more embarrassed than ever. She had intended to teach Anne the childish classic, "Now I lay me down to sleep". But she had, as I have told you, the glimmerings of a sense of humor – which is simply another name for a sense of the fitness of things.
"Oh, but it's good to be alive and to be going home," breathed Anne.
But if the path set before her feet was to be narrow, she knew that flowers of quiet happiness would bloom along it.
Worrying helps you some - it seems as if you were doing something when you're worrying.
"Mrs. Lynde says they've never had a female teacher in Avonlea before and she thinks it is a dangerous innovation. But I think it will be splendid to have a lady teacher, and I really don't see how I'm going to live through the two weeks before school begins, I'm so impatient to see her."
