Publisher's summary

L.M. Montgomery's novel introduces the world to the lovable and energetic Anne, who at the beginning of the audiobook is adopted by the Cuthbert siblings, Matthew and Marilla. The brother and sister realize that they are getting up in their years, and intend to adopt a young boy to help Matthew maintain the property. Through a mix up, however, they get Anne instead. Rather than sending her back to the orphanage, the siblings decide to keep her, and though she makes a few mistakes at the start of her stay, they come to realize how invaluable she is to their lives.

Anne, who is 11 at the time of her adoption, has never had much training in the way of social graces. There are quite a few events that take place in which the Cuthbert siblings hide their head in shame over something that Anne has said or done, but after Anne saves the life of a young girl who is very sick, the entire town comes to love her for who she really is.

Eventually, Anne grows into a mature teen and spends the majority of her time devoting herself to academics, which pays off when she is awarded a scholarship to a prestigious four-year college. A series of unfortunate events, however, force her to rethink her future plans; but Anne does not distress. Instead, she makes the most of her situation and displays a positive attitude about it all.

I loved hearing this story again!

This was as enjoyable for me this time as reading the books and watching the movies when I was a kid! Only I didn't care for the narrator, it sounded like a robot was reading to me.

LOVE the book, HATE the narrator

What didn’t you like about Andrea Giordani’s performance?

Narration is terrible. Impossible to listen to. This is one of my favorite stories and I couldn't deal with this narrator at all. Didn't even make it through the first chapter

Great story, not so great narrator

I've always loved this story, but the narrator is so strange, she speaks like a robot most of the time... But when she does Ann's voice it's quite nice... I can't understand why that is.

I love Anne of Green Gables, but don’t get this version

For some reason all of the (Canadian) characters in this sound very British. And often squeaky. I’d recommend a different version.

Couldn't get past the first chapter

The worst narrator I have listened to. I could not get past the first chapter.

Characters come to life!

My mom and I have fallen in love with Anne's character! The narration in a different dialect brings the characters to life.

Loved story, couldn't stand narration.

Beautiful story but it was extremely hard to listen to. The narrator was too quiet when doing certain characters and very loud and shrill on other characters. I finally resorted to keeping my hand on the volume button to make frequent adjustments just to get through the book.

Destroyed by narrator

I had to listen in small bits due to high pitch squeaky voice used for Anne. Truly nerve grating. Iv watched all the tv shows/movies but will never 'listen' to these stories again. Anne and all the other characters are fabulous but I had to keep remembering the voices I'd heard before in order to get thru it

Avoid this narrator

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

I already love the story but this narrator ruined it for me. I may have been able to overlook the bad timing, bad phrasing, and inconsistent character voices but the numerous mispronunciations were jarring. It often seemed as though the narrator didn't understand the words she was reading.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Anne of Green Gables?

Unfortunately this wonderful story was completely overshadowed by the bad narration.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Profound disappointment.
