This was a fascinating story about a young orphan girl who has quite an imagination. Although she is unwanted by most people and runs her tongue on and on, she finds herself in the home of Green Gables owned by a brother and sister who adopt her. This is filled with tales of how she spends her first 6 years in Green Gables in the first place she can truly call her home. It was encased with stories of friendship, heartache, and growing up. I wanted to read this book series for years (and even owned it as a child but had never read it until now. . and I am 28). I'm so glad that I have been able to read it. I laughed, cried, and could quote a bunch of it since I grew up watching the mini-series.

This is a very good read. I would recommend it for ages 13 and up. Just because this book has somewhat of an older style writing.

I have always wanted to read this book and never had the chance until now. I am so glad I finally did. It's such a wonderful book -- you'll fall in love with the little orphan Anne (spelled with an "e") immediately. You can't help but to love her imagination and thoughts. This book that makes you smile, laugh and cry alittle is perfect for all ages!!

Oh, what a perfect novel! This book will always stand out in my memory as the first book that ever made me cry - and while hundreds of other books have brought me to tears since then, even in re-reading this book nothing makes me cry harder than this one! Re-reading this has given me such pleasure, that I think I will have to re-read the whole series! In fact, I don't know how far I ever made it in the series, I don't think I have read them all, to be honest. I am looking forward to this project! This book just fills me with such joy! What a perfect delight it has been to re-acquaint myself with Anne Shirley.

A amazingly written book, with a different style that will leave you reaching for more. A wonderful prequel too called Before Green Gables, tells the story before Anne meets her permeant family.

Any one who reads this book will become a kindred spirit. Anne is just one of the most exciting people in the world! She keeps you on your toes and cause you to really look at life and find the joy and love in it. And who doesn't want a Gilbert Blythe? Still a master piece after 200 years!

I've just re-read this in my quest to read the classics I missed and/or have forgotten, and am again enamoured with Anne. Just as she does in the story, the girl grabs your heart and you find yourself rooting for her though you know she'll do well without your help. I find myself remembering feeling the way she did at times, with her imagination and the adults around her finding her creativity but silliness. Dear to my heart, and I'll be (re)reading the rest of the series as well! Next up is Anne of Avonlea.

This book is a great read for an upcoming teen or tweener interested in life at the turn of the century but its appeal crosses all generations and genders. Equally as good as the Disney real-life portrayal of this 20th century gem!
Not bad for a book.
It is a good book for young teens.
One of the most phenomenal and classic litarary works of art of all time.
Five stars doesn't do it justice.

I think 12 is the best age to start reading this searies actually anywhere between 10 and 100 is a good age to read this even though their are lots of big words but I am 12 and the words are actually not that hard to undersand...No their not hard at all.It is easy to tell what a word means for example this book is scrumdidlydumshis of course you've might of never heard that word befor but it fits in so you know what it means.

What can I say? The Anne of Green Gables series is fabulous!
Wonderful! A must-have for any young girl!
MARVELOUS-a true classic story. One that you can read over and over.

This is a great story for children or adults. A classic. One of my all time favorite stories from when I was a child.
One of my all-time favorites...a true classic, and enjoyable by adults and children alike.
My favorite book in the whole world! Anne Shirley is a wonderful little orphan girl who tries to find her place in the world of Avonlea at Green Gables. Each page is an adventure- a total classic read.
The Anne of Green Gables Series #1. A delicious classic.
Very enjoyable for all ages.
Every girl loves this book. I don't know how you make it through girlhood without it. Everyone sympathizes with Anne Shirley and her "scrapes". Anne is one of our bosom companions and we love her. A tale of a simpler time.
A wonderful story of a little orphan girl growing up on Prince Edward Island near the beginning of the 19th century. A true classic of fantasy, family, and love.
Timeless, beguiling, beloved
This book is recommended for children age 10 and up. My children and I have enjoyed it.
Great Classic. I read this book before a trip to Canada
This was a very interesting book. I like the way this author writes.
This is a wonderful story on the continuation of Anne of Green Gables. This is book 1 in the series there are 8 books in all. I have the complete set.
I love Anne, I'm just passing these on. Enjoy!
a must-read for everyone
This is my all time favorite book, I am only posting it because i duplicate copies. It is wonderful story of an orphan girl who is sent to an elderly brother and sister, who were expecting a boy. This book goes through the first couple of years after anne arrives on PEI. It is humourus, touching and heartwarming. It is a great book for a young girl to read, and you should also read the 7 sequels.
