Anne of the Island

De: Lucy Maud Montgomery

Narrado por: Renee Raudman

New adventures lie ahead as Anne Shirley packs her bags, waves good-bye to childhood, and heads for Redmond College. With old friend Prissy Grant waiting in the bustling city of Kingsport and frivolous new pal Philippa Gordon at her side, Anne tucks her memories of rural Avonlea away and discovers life on her own terms, filled with surprises...including a marriage proposal from the worst fellow imaginable, the sale of her very first story, and a tragedy that teaches her a painful lesson.

But tears turn to laughter when Anne and her friends move into an old cottage and an ornery black cat steals her heart. Little does Anne know that handsome Gilbert Blythe wants to win her heart, too. Suddenly, Anne must decide if she's ready for love.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"The most moving and delightful child of fiction since the immortal Alice." (Mark Twain)
"Fifty years after her death, her work surfaces regularly in new guises....There's no cool modern cynicism here; these stories are decidedly old-fashioned and determinedly upbeat." ( Calgary Herald)

Fabulous read but poor narrator.

I love Anne, always have so the story is overall very good but this narrator drives me bonkers with her breathy Marilyn Monroe inspired voice for Anne. Anne is fiery yet compassionate and that should be reflected in the narration.

Anne of the Island

I love this book! I liked the performance but I think that she could give a little more emotion. :#$%^&*

sweet telling of Anne's college years

the story was good, but the reader had an odd fake southern accent she used on some of the characters

Anne is Independent

Would you consider the audio edition of Anne of the Island to be better than the print version?

No, although I love audio books because they allow me to "read" while traveling, the print version lets your imagination run wild. And I didn't like how the narrator had Annes voice be dreamy throughout the entire story instead of when it was appropriate.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Anne of the Island?

When the girls actually obtained "Patty's Place"

Any additional comments?

Wonderful to see Anne exploring the world! The only book where she is truly independent and free.
