چرا کاور جلد سوم رو گذاشتن برای جلد دوم؟

The charm and gracefulness of this book and its heroine give it 5 stars; perhaps for me, as an author, it should be given six for the accurate and sometimes painful description of a writer's handling of rejections and final acceptance!

از جلد اول بهتر بود.

I forgot how much I love this entire series.

When people think of L.M. Montgomery, they think of Anne of Green Gables. But, Emily is, arguably, Montgomery’s best heroine. She starts out a little girl lost and blossoms throughout the entire series.

But, I think what I love most is the character growth of those that Emily’s life touches. Her aunts, uncles, friends, teachers… Even those who seem beyond any little bit of sympathy in the beginning, turn out to be loyal to Emily in the end.

Emily Climbs is the story of Emily’s high school years, away from New Moon. She really does grow up a lot in the three years she’s gone. And she goes through some exceedingly funny scrapes!

I really love this series–and I’m wishing I’d started the rereading sooner.

Me encanta el personaje de Emily y su empeño por ser escritora, por más trabas que le pongan en el camino. En esta segunda novela de este personaje, que es considerado el alter ego de la propia autora L.M. Montgomery, se da muchas vueltas sobre las habladurías de los pueblos y es que Emily ha sido una fuente de inspiración para los más diversos rumores surgidos de las malas casualidades, de las actuaciones y malas ideas de terceras personas o de sus propios errores, porque todos somos humanos.

En esta novela se siguen encontrando paralelismos con la serie de Ana la de Tejas Verdes, y he llegado a considerar incluso que no fuera Ana una versión idealizada de Emily, creada por ella misma. Desde luego, el amor de la autora por su tierra sigue patente y la forma que tiene de describir paisajes, el paso del tiempo y el cierre de etapas vitales sigue siendo tan nostálgica como maravillosa.

No sé qué nos esperará en la tercera y última entrega de esta serie, pero espero que se traten o cierren algunos temas que en este libro han quedado en el aire y que me han dejado con ganas de comenzar el siguiente de forma inmediata sólo para comprobarlo.

Por cierto, Charlotte Brontë me persigue. Fragmento de esta novela:

"-Aquí no hay ninguna posibilidad de hacer nada -argumentó Emily.
-No, no más de las que había en Haworth Parsonage -gruñó el señor Carpenter.
-No soy Charlotte Brontë -protestó Emily-. Tenía ingenio, podía estar sola... Yo sólo tengo talento... y necesito ayuda y... y... guía."

The Emily books have been with me for a longer time than most people I know. I have no idea how many times I've read them, and I could probably quote many passages from them by heart. How can one review such books, then? I won't try. I will only say that these books delight me to no end, and Emily Climbs is perhaps my favourite of the trilogy, because of the youthful dreaminess and enthusiasm of Emily, because it has so much about her writing and I don't know for what other reasons. Montgomery's writing is beautiful and charming, she can make her characters so real and alive, and her books give me great joy.

3.5 Stars
I have to give it to Ms. Montgomery, she knows how to create endearing yet annoying characters at the same time .. these characters are so realistic I feel like I know them by know
In this book we will follow Emily's journey from childhood to being a young adult in high school, after much convincing aunt Elizabeth finally accepts to send Emily to Shrewsbury High School where she spends three years of her life chasing her dreams to be a writer and learning things along the way with her gang .. she stays at her aunt Ruth's house and the journey goes on ..
I can't review this book without comparing it to Anne teenage years, Emily childhood was more enjoyably to me than Anne, but her teenage years weren't easy at all, I still prefer Emily over Anne's since she is direct and knows what she wants and doesn't send mixed signals to boys ( read book 3 of Anne's series to know what I mean )
overall this was a nice continuation for Emily story, I liked that the story is intertwined and every character matters (unlike Anne's series where you have a whole character arc just to forget about it in the next book ) .. but there is something else, I don't know if it's just me, but does Emily have super powers? she seems to have a vision in the most critical time and she was right both times, I thought the author put that in the first book and forget about it but it happened a second time .. hmmmm interesting
all and all the book was nice and really suitable if you are calling sick (like I am now :( ) and want a book that barely has any drama and kind of mindless
on to the last book of the series

i am starting to love Emily as much as Anne

While she doesn’t hold my heart so much as Anne, Emily is such a delight. However I cannot in good conscience rate this 5 stars because Dean is the worst, and I can’t stand their relationship.

Rereading this for the tenth or twelfth time, I enjoy it just as much as ever!

Emily is growing up, honing her writing skills, and getting an education at Shrewsbury high school along with her friends, Ilse, Perry, and Teddy. She gets into innocent mischief, makes honest mistakes, and generally has little adventures around PEI.

I love the character development that Emily has in this book. There are some surprising developments with her family clan, the Murrays, as they begin to recognize that she's no longer a little girl that they can bully.

I love all the weird and funny adventures that Emily has while she is hanging out with Ilse. Their friendship is so wild and true and beautiful. It's a delight to read about two girls being such close friends, sharing secrets and dreams.

There is only one storyline in the book that I don't like, and that is Dean Priest. He's basically a pedophile, and he creeps me out.

I wonder if I picked this trilogy up too late. I've reached the point where I find Anne just a touch annoying. (And I've always been an Anne.) So I assume I'd have had more sympathy for Emily if I read her, say, in middle school.
As it is, I found the episodic nature of this book slow and hard to get invested in. Emily or one of her friends gets embroiled in a scandal. Emily's family reproves her. She gives them the Murray look. They give in. Rinse and repeat.
The scene with the dog was hilarious. But, frankly, I don't understand Emily's 'I belong at New Moon' shtick.
WHY didn't she move to New York? That's what I don't get. She gets the opportunity to move to chase her dreams and she decides, no, that would be sacrificing her art. I call B.S. She was just too cowardly to tackle the next adventure.

به طرز ترسناکی حس میکنم این کتاب رو حتی از آنه شرلی بیشتر دوست دارم. و چقدر خوبه! چقدر خوبه که همچین کتاب��ایی نوشته شدن... بی صبرانه منتظر شروع کتاب سوم هستم!
