Having watched the movie with Haley Mills, i needed to read the book. Maybe the way it was written.. the way people talked.. prevented me from reading it quickly, like i normally read. But i am glad i stuck with it. I finished it.
And i was surprised by how similar the book and the movie are, except for a thing or two.

As delightful as I imagined.
Ever since I can remember, I have been referred to as a Pollyanna. Though it is usually a slight being thrown, it has never bothered me. I am a silver lining girl, a hopeless optimist. I love the sweet, pure example this character sets. It’s a heartwarming story that reminds us that there is good in everything.

Always loved the Haley Mills movie, can't believe I didn't read the book before now. As usual with movies, there are differences - some are fairly big with this pair. Definitely recommend both - start with the movie in this case!

pamiętam, że kiedyś w szkolnej bibliotece "pollyanna" przypadkiem trafiła w moje ręce (nawet dokładnie to wydanie lmao). i się zakochałam, ale od tamtej pory jej nie czytałam i teraz po prawie idk 12 latach reread and it was amazing. zakończenie może trochę zgrzyta, ale ilość serotoniny jaką dała mi ta książka,,,
Slatka draga Pollyanna! To je djevojčica koja uvijek u sebi i u drugima može pronaći nešto zbog čega će joj "biti drago". Svi bismo se trebali povesti za njenim primjerom. Jer za Pollyannu "disati ne znači živjeti". U životu treba učiniti puno više.
Hvala Sanja, što si mi ovu krasnu knjigicu posudila na čitanje!

I know I read this as a kid, but the only thing I could remember was the dang calf's foot jelly.... ewwwww
Anyway, everyone knows what Pollyanna is about. It's ok for what it is.
Now here's Petty Betty - one of the character's speech patterns annoyed the heck out of me. The maid, Nancy, had a habit of repeating her last sentence. "I think you must have gone through the roof, I do, I do!" "I ain't going to tell that child, I ain't, I ain't!" It was weird. It was, it was.

A good book but if I never have to read the word glad again I’ll be glad!
As with most books of this era the plot is a byproduct. Yet, you still love Pollyanna. But given there wasn’t much of a true plot, I can’t say more than it was cute.
