It's just like "Anne of Green Gables" except with a ridiculously annoying main character.

This is a case where I love the (Disney) movie more than the book. But it is such a sweet story and a great reminder what good a positive attitude and cheerfulness does for a person and especially for those they come in contact with. Be glad.
Absolutely loved this. What an example Pollyanna is of having a godly, positive attitude no matter what. I aspire to be like Pollyanna and leave the mark of joy and gratitude on all that I meet.
This book had a slightly unfair advantage because the character Pollyanna will always be associated in my mind with Hayley Mills. I wonder if I would have liked it somewhat less if not for the Hayley factor. It doesn’t matter; it was fun to read—a nice sentimental old-fashioned story.
This book is one I am genuinely sad I missed reading as a little girl. It's the type of book I would have really enjoyed, had I known it existed before seeing it in the library last week. This book deserves 5 stars from me, not because it stands as a literary pinnicle of perfection, nor because it was free from cliches or exposition.
This book is, in its simplicity, so profound. It teaches lessons of an attitude of gratitude while cleverly diguising teaching a moral at all. It's just a little girl whose willingness to play "The Glad Game" literally changed the lives of those around her for the better.
And yes, it's better than the movie. (And I loved the movie)
