So, I have never read this series. I know Alyse was obsessed with it growing up, but the movies really bothered me. Anne was SO airy and fluffy, and I just couldn't get past that. But, I wanted to give it a shot this year, and it definitely exceeded my expectations!
I still thought that the first Anne was super airy. She just talks and talks and TALKS (which I'm sure Brandon feels like I do sometimes... I'm just kidding. Kind of.). I have to remind myself that she is only 11, and I had plenty of imaginary friends and talked a lot to myself at that age. But not quite to that extent.
But she is a funny person, and she really grows a lot during the book. People start to look past her oddness and really enjoy being around her. She is a hard worker, and goes from having barely any education to graduating top of her class during teaching school. She is incredibly stubborn, but admits that she can be wrong. She is really just trying to do her best.
I grew fond of Matthew during the book. I was so sad when he died at the end. But on the other hand, his death meant that Anne got to stay in Avonlea a little bit longer.
So overall, I found the book quite enjoyable! I ordered the next 2 to come to the library, so I will keep reading the series as long as it is that entertaining.
