“Dear old world, you are very lovely and I am glad to be alive in.”
A heartwarming story of family, imagination, and friendship that I will always return to. Anne once said that she is greatful to live in a world with October’s, and I am grateful to live in a world with this novel.

I wanted to read this book for so long after adding it to my want-to-read list, and not long after I finally read it. I had high expectations for this novel considering it's a classic and many other people have praised it. I wasn't disappointed. It exceeded my expectations so much it was delightful from start to finish, hence the five star rating. The story starts with the main character, Anne Shirley, or Anne for short. She was an orphan for an unspecified amount of time until some other characters, Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, took her in. I must state the book can be slow paced sometimes but that allowed me to connect to Anne and the other characters; not all books can do that. I'm so glad to say this since this one could. The character development and the humour was spot on, so much so that it made me chuckle when I read some lines from the story, although I found Anne to be unique and likable in the first place. Speaking of, the writing style made me find it easy to distinguish the people in the story which I can't say applies to every single one. It's better than 90% of the books I've ever read. Only few achieved this level. The conclusion was heart-warming, as I saw Anne as a now mature character, and there are more books in the series which I'll catch up on later.

This is one of my favourite childhood books and it still holds up. I listened to it slowly through the Sleepy Bookshelf Podcast which gave me all of the nostalgic feelings of falling asleep to the radio play as a child. I still loved all the things I loved before but gained a new appreciation for how natural Anne's coming of age was and how she matured while maintaining her wonderful personality. All of the other characters were just as loveable: Marilla, Matthew, Diana, Miss Stacey, Gilbert I could go on. This truly is my comfort read and I don't think it is the last time I will read it.
