I just finished reading Anne of the Island a couple days ago! :)
I loved it! (Obviously). The romance in it was finally resolved. I wish I could tell you more, but that would be a super spoil alert.
I can't wait to finish the next book and watch the movie! (There is no Anne of the Island. So as we said in a past post, the movie for this book is Anne of Avonlea).
It is one of my favorite books so far, I loved the ending. She's slightly older in this one, and is going to college. Another thing about this series is that it's hilarious at certain parts. In this one, I think it's funny when Anne gets jealous. ;-) Yet she still doesn't admit that she's in love!
Sometimes other books in series aren't as good as the first one, but
L.M Montgomery did an awesome job once again at keeping her readers intrigued (well at least I was intrigued). And there is more than just one romance in the book, there ends up being multiple marriages. Who's? I can't tell you! So if you've only read the first book in this series, or none of them, I wildly encourage you to keep reading till you get to this book!
I rate it E of course! (The whole series is)
I want to start a discussion! I want to challenge people! Are you ready?
-Have any of you out there read these books? Did you absolutely love them? Why or how much? ;-)
-The Anne of Green Gables series is very popular, even today. So if you think that because it is old it would be boring, your wrong! These books are so fun, does anyone agree or disagree? I like these types of books, and you might too, so if you haven't tried them give them a shot!
-I know that I have already mentioned that I like the romance in this book, but if you're a boy and think these books are too girly for you, think again. The person who directed, produced, and wrote all of the movies ( Kevin Sullivan) wasn't a girl, but he enjoyed these books (I'm assuming, it was his idea to make them into movies after all!) Does any one else agree with me or know more?
- If you have read the books and watched the movies, which did you like better?
-any other thoughts or feelings you just can't contain? You're welcome to share ( I would love it actually.)
And because I am very considerate, I have made you all a very helpful vocab list. Here it is!

I LOVE the Anne series!! I had the entire collection and read them when I was your age. I LOVE the movies as well. I think the girl that plays Anne did an amazing job! Even now when I catch them on TV I stop and watch them. I think this is my favorite series of all time. :)

I love the books so far too. I'm only on the 4th book though. I agree that the girl that played Anne did an amazing job. Kayla and I just watched Anne of Avonlea. I love the movies too, I just wish they had made more than 3.
DeleteI love this series too, especially this particular book. :-D
ReplyDeleteThe romance (spoil alert!) between Anne and Gilbert was very exciting. In fact, once Anne finally decided on a man and got married I lost interest! So I haven't even continued the series. I probably need to though.
I agree with both of you, loved the actor that played Anne. She would be a difficult character to play. How do you be dreamy and obsessed with romance and still look like your capable, smart and... not weird? I'm just saying. ;-D
The fun part is reading the author's personal biography and seeing bits of it in her books. Has anyone read Montgomery's biography?
