I loved it! So wonderful and sweet. Can't wait to read the others!!

How did this book get such a good rating? The character did my head in with her chitter chatter, I even felt the author talking too much when describing scenes and characters! Enough!

Dragostea mea pentru Anne of Green Gables a început cu serialul Anne with an E, pe care l-am descoperit în liceu. Nu pot să cred nici acum că a fost anulat sezonul 4 și da, știu că mă plâng mult din cauza asta. :))

"But if you have big ideas, you have to use big words to express them, haven't you?"

Dar povestea acestei fetițe orfane care a fost adoptată de un frate și o soră, amândoi bătrâni, mi-a plăcut așa de mult. Chiar dacă prefer serialul în ciuda cărții, prin roman am resimțit pasiunea cu care mă uitam prima dată la sezonul întâi și foarte multe personaje oferă farmec poveștii și aventurilor lui Anne. Însă aici, pentru că am citit și Anne of Avonlea, am văzut-o pe Anne evoluând mai mult, am văzut-o trecând peste adolescență și la sfârșitul celui de al doilea volum fiind transformată într-o tânără femeie.

"Dear old world, you are very lovely, and I am glad to be alive in you."

Povestea lui Anne îți oferă nostalgie după copilărie, îți arată puterea imaginației și a bucuriei. Dacă vă simțiți triști, vă recomand cu drag să citiți această carte (e tradusă și în română în mai multe ediții), un clasic pentru tineri, dacă treceți printr-o stare deprimantă probabil Anne vă va arăta calea spre a vedea lumea cu ochi plini de lumină.

This book divided into 2 titles, ”Anne of Green Gables” and ”Anne of Avonlea” —
5 ⭐️! for both

✨Anne of Green Gables✨
Anne as a girl who has fully imagination over things and pretty talkative on her age is fascinating. When the story start and Matthew enjoys her company because Matthew was not a talkative person, give my heart a burst. Even though there are some misunderstanding while picking up Anne but at the end, Marilla and Matthew decided to adopted her. Then, as the time goes by, they were growing fond of her.

In this book, the story focused on Anne as a little girl and how her imagination always the dearest of her personality. It’s been a while I haven’t read any classic and this book give me joy and all the feels especially about family relationship. Anne picked names for everything around her always have a memorable place in my heart. Even though Anne was quite dramatic on certain parts but it was amusing for me. The ending give me in tears and I cannot move on for a while. How dare you give me that ending?

All the likes I had for this part of the book;
➊ The divine connection between Anne, Marilla, and Matthew
➋ Society seen Anne as a weird girl because she is different
➌ Gilbert and Anne sweet and remarkable moments
➍ Anne growing up as an orphan and how she handled things

✨Anne of Avonlea✨
The story continued when Anne decided to becoming a teacher and staying with Marilla instead of going far. Then, they have twins who need to stayed with them for a while. Davy and Dora has different personalities but Anne and Marilla handled them well enough. Also, Anne found new romance experience throughout the story of Miss Lavendar and Mr. Irving. She thought of them beautifully as in a book they were living.

The storyline, especially about Anne as a teacher won my heart. She handled her students pretty well and I love how in this book saying pupils when it comes to the students. Also, Anne’s handling Davy and Dora differently because as I see it, she sees Davy as the boy version of her. Anne also has growth within herself when she overcome the obstacle of being a teacher, and it was written beautifully. Then, Marilla and Anne relationship growing more and more beautiful in this part of the book. The ending when Anne and Gilbert talking after Miss Lavendar’s wedding has touched my heart.

All the likes I had for this part of the book;
➊ Anne as a teacher — perfection. Who doesn’t like an imaginative person as a teacher, anyway?
➋ Anne’s ideal of being a teacher, not abusive
➌ Society Issues

To conclude, this book makes me want to read more classic because I find it cute and fluffy when it comes to Gilbert and Anne. Anne’s growing up and her personality wiser than ever when it comes to the obstacle on her journey throughout the book also represents on a person nowadays. Even though it might comes more book in the series because the ending give me cliffhanger, I do want to devour more about Anne’s journeys. This book is mesmerizing. I loved every part of it.

I read this when I was about ten or eleven, and forgot how much I adored it. I've finally got the whole set of the Anne books, so I sat down to reread this one today. It's easy to read, and charming, and more touching than I'd remembered -- I came over all sniffly a couple of times. And I also had a lot of delighted little giggles.

Rating: 4.4

A good old children's classic. It was nice to read this after being disappointed with my previous read.
While reading this book, I always imagined myself as Marilla, while Anne is my niece and nephew, because like Anne, they talk non-stop. This novel reminds me a lot of Little Prince, where grown-ups, maturity, imagination, friendships and customary practice are the subject matters.

Anne Shirley is an eleven-year-old orphan who has hung on determinedly to an optimistic spirit and a wildly creative imagination through her early deprivations. She erupts into the lives of aging brother and sister Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, a girl instead of the boy they had sent for. Thus begins a story of transformation for all three; indeed the whole rural community of Avonlea comes under Anne's influence in some way. We see her grow from a girl to a young woman of sixteen, making her mistakes, and not always learning from them. Intelligent, hot-headed as her own red hair, unwilling to take a moral truth as read until she works it out for herself, she must also face grief and loss and learn the true meaning of love.

A wonderfully delightful children's classic, which can be enjoyed, by young and old alike. This edition combines the first two books of the Anne of Green Gables series, and we follow Anne from the age of 11 - 18. Through out the two books the reader see's Anne grow as a person, as well as those around her, especially Marilla.
I loved reading the parts of the books, where Anne is twittering away as you get an insight into her imagination and her romantic ideas.
Parts of the book really had me laughing, this was in part due to Anne and something she may have said / done, but also because of the glimpse into life in the early 1900's, and things that we would find funny in todays society.

This is a book that I will definitely come back to, and enjoy rereading, and I would like to get my hands on the rest of the series, which follows Anne into her 50's and 60's.

Such a heart warming experience! A story of a fierce young girl with a kind heart, and a tendency for trouble. Absolutely adorable <3

"Dear old world', she murmured, 'you are very lovely, and I am glad to be alive in you."

TUR att det finns fler böcker om Anne, annars vet jag inte vad jag hade gjort.

My kids liked it and my 7 year old was even crying when Mathew died, I didn’t like it as much as the Secret Garden BBC version.

I had forgotten how very much I loved Anne Shirley when growing up. Rereading all of her stories has brought back so many memories, and I have fallen in love once again with the girl, Anne. After reading so many not-worth-mentioning, crappy, free, kindle downloaded books, this has been such a refreshing change of pace - well written, poetical, beautiful, and clean; and 'watching' Anne grow-up again is such a pleasure.

Anne in Avonlea, ist der 2. Band Annes Lebensgeschichte. Anne ist hier viel älter un reifer als im 1. Teil was mich sehr erfreut hat. Leider verlor Anne ihre Unbeschwertheit und ihre sonderliche art zu reden etwas... Das hat mir nicht so gut gefallen da es mit der Begründung "Ich bin nun älter und verbleibe mit meinen Gedanken für mich" nicht gut begründet war.
Dennoch ist Anne generell ein super Buchcharakter und es ist immer sehr unterhaltsam.
