Finally: Full review written December 17th, 2013 and edited the 19th:) ***5 beautiful "Kindred Spirits" stars!!***Sighs...Anne of Green Gables and her crazy doings will forever stay in my heart <3. Can there be such a crazy, beautiful, kindred spirit soul as Anne? No, I do not think so (there are two exceptions: Miranda Cheever and Penelope :D). This precious book is the first out of the many books in the Anne of Green Gables series. I think many of you know what Anne of Green Gables is about or have seen her movies...if you haven't then read on! Anne:Anne is an orphan girl who was adopted by Marilla and Matthew Curthbert...let's say she was meant to be a boy. She is an odd looking little girl with fierce red hair, freckles, gray eyes, and pale skin. She is a full kindred spirit and very imaginative. Everybody suspects that she will be a disappointment but she is not. From adventures,imagination, to meeting new friends, to accidents, to love, being smart, and turning into a beauty Anne's life is not what she ever thought it would be.It's been my experience that you can nearly always enjoy things if you make up your mind firmly that you will. She has a rival...the amazing Gilbert. Yes, I fell in love with him ;). Gilbert: Ever since he pulled her hair and called her carrots Gilbert and Anne have never been the same. Competitions, glances, rivalry, ignorance,and hate has driven the two to not talk to each other. But as time passes by and with the help of her best friend Diana, Anne has let that hate slide away and has allowed a little bit of likeness to come in through her heart towards Gilbert. And maybe..maybe love will happen. But besides that, Anne has her studies to worry about. She has her beloved best friend Diana, and she has her cold but kind Marilla and sweet Matthew:______________________________________________________________________________________________________But as she grows up Anne's life takes a turn of a grown women and she experiences how life truly is...harsh, unfair, and sad. But also wonderful. But there is something...a place that she will always remember and never forget...her Green Gables.I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers. It's not what the world holds for you. It's what you bring to it.______________________________________ Anne of Green Gables is a beautiful book. It is one of my favorite classics and will forever stay in my heart. It is full of life, love, innocence, beauty, finding yourself,forgiveness, growing up, and it is tremendously funny! She is one of my favorite heroines and she is such a great example. I think you all know the reason why I gave this 5 stars and I don't really need to explain myself that much :D. But if you have never read this you should. Anne of Green Gables is a beautiful journey of a young girl and her imagination.Because when you are imagining, you might as well imagine something worth while.*All the pictures here I have created and added the effects,coloring, and words(except gifs and the collage up there).

"I don't know what lies around the bend, but I'm going to believe that the best does."I cried, I laughed, and I fell in love.I grew up watching these movies because my mom just absolutely loves them but I've never really been that interested in reading the book. I knew I'd read it someday but it wasn't a top priority at all. I had to read this for my can lit course this semester and boy am I ever glad for that. I absolutely adored this story. Anne is such a darling and she just makes me look at the world differently and want to use my imagination more, she makes me feel like a kid again. I loved all the characters and the writing was fantastic. The ending just made me want to read the rest of the series! LOVED IT!

Book Review3+ of 5 stars to Anne of Green Gables, the first book in a series by L.M. Montgomery, written in 1902. I read this book nearly 30 years ago and had to refresh my memory a little, before writing the review. I'd forgotten it was part of a whole series. I read more than one, but not sure which other ones. I recall this first one... a tale about an orphan girl, acclimating to a new family, meeting friends and neighbors. On the outskirts, it's a coming-of-age tale about a young girl becoming a woman and learning about the realities of life. It's both a funny book to read and an educational one with some lessons. It's something every kid should read, just to understand how good they have it... or if they are adopted, to learn how to deal with it. Anne's a beautiful person, forgetting age for a few seconds. And whenever she's around, it sorta feels like the comforts of home. If you haven't sampled it, read one of the books in the series just to see what life was like for a girl like her over a century ago. It'll be a positive read, even so many years later.About MeFor those new to me or my reviews... here's the scoop: I read A LOT. I write A LOT. And now I blog A LOT.
