My first classic since childhood, this was creative, well written and imaginative. There was a LOT of dialogue which was a bit too much at times but it was overall enjoyable. 

Anne Shirley is such a loveable character and her and Manilas growth together is adorable.  Definitely a great entry way classic if you can handle the excessive amount of dialogue.

3.5

Maybe the book just isn’t for me. I liked it fine enough, it was pleasant and passed the time, but there wasn’t anything keeping me hooked on this book. I liked it, but that’s kind of all. The voice acting in the reading helped me not get too tired of Anne’s long speeches, so that’s good. It just felt like nothing happened except Anne talking. And I like Anne fine, but there wasn’t anything special in the book. Pleasant, well-written slice of life. If you’re looking for heartwarming and low stakes with lots of charming philosophizing, this is the book for you. :)
