Anne of Green Gables

Anne of Green Gables Review

So I recently picked up and read Anne of Green Gables. I have read a lot of books feature strong young female characters. As a young women I distinctly remember enjoying Little Women, and most all of the Jane Austin classics. I was under the impression that this book would fall into a similar category. However , upon reading 2.5 books of the series I am left severally disappointed. I am usually a person who picks up a book and cannot stop reading until it is completed, either one because it is a page turner or two because I keep reading in the hope that the author will eventually redeem themselves or the characters...in this case I have just been left bored and find the books a chore.

Anne is to flighty and lively and then basically becomes a dull old school maid....not interesting or imaginative in the least....and the other characters lack the ability to perform a supporting role. Even the romance is dull and long drawn out...their is no strong bond development between the characters that makes you wonder if a relationship will work out...and when it does it seems to predictable. The first installment of the series was decent and I should have stopped there.

Not sure what I am going to read next, I am a sucker for classics....so I will keep you all posted.
