I haven't read the book but as a child I was fixated with TV adaptation.





I loved the vivacity of Anne, the stubborn streak and her complete independence.





I particularly liked the part where she died her hair green to try and get rid of her red hair - hilarious!!!





The character filled you with a warm glow because she mirrored a lot of adolescent girls thoughts and daily concerns and showed you how to deal with some of them in a very humorous way.





Anne was a very romantic, heroic female role model for lots of girls and young women.

Yeah, it was an amazing book! I've read it about five times or so, i never get tired of it. Have you red the whole series? When she gets older, gets married and has children. Anne of Green Gables is one of my favorite book series, and the character herself is so endearing.





edit: yeah, rilla of ingleside was great! i loved the part when she was taking care of the baby, even though she didn't really like children. You should also read emily of new moon series, they are similar to anne of green gables.
Reply:Oh, what a Canadian classic! I loved the whole series as a kid. I could relate to her, because she loved books, and reading, and acting. Her love/hate with Gilbert is great, as well as the relationship with her best friend, Diana. I also love the book where she lives in the little cottage by the ocean.





If you like "Anne of Green Gables," I think you would also enjoy "Little Women."





Take care!
Reply:I loved it too. A great book that would enchant anyone at any age!
Reply:Yes, I loved the book too and re-watching the movie is like a walk down memory lane. (Kind of like watching The Partridge Family or the Brady Bunch or the Waltons, but I am dating myself.)





Many of the books written by L.M. Montgomery are very popular, you might want to check into them at your library or wherever you buy your books.





This weekend our local newspaper called L.M. Montgomery the J.K. Rowling of her day. Of course, they did not and were not able to market books and merchandise back then the way they can now but her books were very popular even when they first came out!
Reply:I loved that book as a child and have re-read it many times since. It has wonderful characters, Anne herself of course, and Marilla is particularly good, and Mrs Lynde, who turns out to be a 'kindred spirit' after all. Anne is so funny, with her lurid imagination and her long words and her passionate likes and dislikes.





There are so many memorable scenes in the book, where she flies out at mrs Lynde in a rage, and then her extravagent apology, and when she whacks Gilbert Blythe over the head with a slate, and when she accidentally gets Diana drunk, and when she floats down the river being the Lily Maid and gets stuck, and so many other funny incidents.





Imust admit I never found Anne quite so amusing once she grew up and became more sensible and adult, but i still love the young Anne very much.
