Anne of Greene Gables

I think I enjoyed the books better! I read them all when I was younger. I do agree that Megan Follows was excellent as Anne. My mom and I just love the series. However, I don't believe we watched the last movie, which was when she was married and abroad in Europe..

The first two movies were great and followed the books very well. It appears that the third started with "Anne's House of Dreams" but turned into something different. I they took parts from other books that weren't really about Anne, such as the one about her daughter Rilla. That's why I'm reading them again. For one, in 1915-18, Anne would be in her 40s, I believe. And, she had several children by then.

Megan Follows did an amazing job playing "Anne" in the show. Generally I like to picture images in my head when I'm considering a situation, so I enjoyed the movies a lot more than the books. I would have to say that I enjoyed "The Sequal" more than the first one and tonight I'm watching "The Continuing Story", so we'll see how that one is.

I loved the movies that I saw. I don't remember which ones except I did see Anne of Avonlea for sure. I wish I had the whole set and could sit down and watch them all from the younger years to her married days. Mom read the series to me when I was a kid. The stories from the book and the movies are sort of blended now. I am not motivated enough to read the series again but would love to see all the movie for sure. Very good memories!

The books are SO good, but I am so glad that they made the movies, and that they found such wonderful actors for the roles! Megan Follows is wonderful, and I really enjoyed Colleen Dewhurst and Richard Farnsworth (Matthew and Marilla).

The book is so much better than the movie mainly because the book offers up so much more detail than the movie. So many funny things happen in the book that aren't even discussed in the movie-- such as Anne's linent cake, etc. Also, Anne of Avonlea the book would have made such a better movie than the weird jumble of books used to make the movie, "Anne of Avonlea" So many more exciting things happened to Anne while she was teaching on the Island. Miss Lavendar would have been such an interesting character to see portrayed.
