Anne of Green Gables |
|---|
Montgomery’s literary classic recounts the exciting adventures undertaken by the fiery eleven-year-old Anne Shirley, an orphan girl accidentally adopted by middle aged siblings Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert. A coming-of-age novel, Anne of Green Gables focuses on Anne’s new life at Green Gables farm in Avonlea and her adjustment into the Prince Edward Island community. The story launches when the aging siblings Matthew and Marilla decide that they could use an extra hand around their farm, and believe that adopting an orphan boy would be an appropriate solution. However, due to a misunderstanding, the orphanage sends Anne Shirley instead. As Matthew heads to the train station to pick up the anticipated boy, he is shocked to be greeted by a red-headed, freckled and quite talkative little girl. Oblivious to the fact that a mistake has been made, Anne cheerfully enjoys the ride to her new home not hiding her enthusiasm whatsoever. Although initially spinster Marilla requires a bit of persuasion, both siblings are drawn in by the irresistible charms of the young chatty girl and accept the orphanage’s mix-up. Undeniably Anne adds the much needed color in the lives of Matthew and Marilla who are quiet and timid, while Anne serves as a complete opposite to the two. As Anne adjusts to her new surroundings, she leaves readers absorbed as she makes social gaffes in her clumsy attempts to soak in the social norms, religion, and morals with which her peers are already long accustomed to. Obstructed by countless mischief and creative excursions, Anne must make a distinction between reality and imagination as she walks along the path of self-expression. A timeless favorite, Anne of Green Gables leaves a mark on all that have come across the bright and imaginative character portrayed by Anne. It is nevertheless a little girl’s imagination, romanticism, free-spirit and playful antics that have presented Montgomery’s novel with a special place in the world of literature.

Reviewer: User - April 23, 2020 I loved listening to this book, and the characters voices were just as I imagined them, but every time Diana talked, I pictured an old woman instead of an eleven year old, so that was the only problem. |

Reviewer: JNav - July 29, 2018 Subject: Anne of Green Gables This wonderful book takes us back to what life was like a century ago on Prince Edward Island. We just finished our second time reading this wonderful book through and adore the colorful characters and the way the readers portray them. Many of the readers sound exactly as we pictured them to sound and the ones that do not bring fresh personality to their character. This book and series is a forever classic and as Anne would say is simply exquisite! |

|
Reviewer: NVR - March 4, 2014 I loved listening to this! I agree that Diana's voice is miscast but it was because of vocal quality which she can't help. The emotions were exactly right. Such an enjoyable listen, overall. |

|
Reviewer: Devil - July 14, 2013 Subject: Anne of Green Gables I love this book! Anne's voice was wonderful but I am a little disappointed about Diana's voice which sounds just like an old lady! Marilla, Anne and Matthew’s voice were all wonderful! |
|
Reviewer: RG - July 3, 2013 Yep, Diana sound's like an old lady and Aunt Josephine sound's like a little girl. Otherwise this is a wonderful recording. |
|
Reviewer: Imp - June 10, 2013 Subject: Anne of Green Gables I think the casting is just a bit mixed up on this. I would have switched Diana's voice with Aunt Josephine's. The actress is fantastic, just a little miscast. This sounded almost professional, otherwise. |
|

Reviewer: Erin - April 18, 2013 Thanks for all the work that went into this reading. Wonderful job! |
|
Reviewer: Malissa - April 17, 2013 Subject: Anne of Green Gables Anne's voice was great, and I thought Marilla's and Rachel's voice were great as well. Diana, as well know, didn't sound good at all. And Matthew was a little to monotone. Needed more feeling/hesitancy. I was so grateful for this audiobook, though! Thank you! |
|
Reviewer: Trudy - April 1, 2013 Subject: Anne Of Green Gables This book is ALMOST perfect! I just couldn't get by the voice of Diana sounding like an old lady to give it a 4...still a really good job on the book, and I will listen to it again. |
|

|
Reviewer: Amanda - January 17, 2013 Diana's voice is terrible! |
|
Reviewer: Anne Fan - January 14, 2013 Diana's voice is to mature for her character. Horrible! |

|
Reviewer: Sheilag - December 11, 2012 The reader for Anne, does such a great job that we felt like we were right in the story! Rather than having a book read to us. Great Matthew too!! Thanks everyone. |
