My Thoughts

I was really worried I wouldn’t like ANNE OF GREEN GABLES because classics and I don’t always get along, but I needn’t have worried because I adored Anne and her spunk.

I can see why this coming-of-age story is a classic. It’s endearing with its quaint setting and memorable characters. As I said, I love Anne. She reminded me of myself, other than her being ever the optimist. (I’m definitely not an optimist.) Like her, I love to name plants and inanimate objects, anthropomorphizing them. I’m extremely talkative and competitive. I love fiercely and tend to hold grudges even though I try not to. I related to her quite a lot.

I also loved the secondary characters, some more than others. Matthew was my favorite. He was such a kind soul, always looking out for Anne. I wish we had gotten to know Gilbert more. If only Anne had forgiven him before the last couple of pages of the novel. So much wasted time. And, even though I was often frustrated with Marilla’s no-nonsense ways, I liked her because I knew she loved Anne. I look forward to reading the rest of the series at some point in the future.
