"This is my first time re-reading this book in quite a few years. Usually my re-reads of the series stop after book 3, 4 or 5, because I hate to see Anne grow up. It pains me to give any book in the series, which I consider my all-time favorite series, anything less than 3 stars, but this has always been my least favorite installment. Too many ellipses and too much repetition. Also, Anne's children are much less interesting than she was as a child. Still have fondness for the book for giving me more Anne and Gilbert, but it really doesn't measure up to the rest of the series for me. I do enjoy the older versions of Anne's children in Rainbow Valley and especially in Rilla of Ingleside, so I just needed to struggle through this one in order to get to that point in my re-read."
"Anne and her delightful children. And she's living such a life, but still she has her moments!! She's still herself, after all! Dear Anne. I love every one of these books, and Lucy Maud never lost anything when continuing Anne's story for us to enjoy! I eat her words up, the frosting and all! I could read her books for ages, but then I would have to stop because I would be so inspired to write something, anything, that I wouldn't be able to contain myself! Miss Cornelia is a delight! And then there are such sad moments, too! She has captured Anne, Anne is no longer a character, but a living, breathing soul in the universe for us all to know and be friends with."
"Probably my least favorite of the first six. I don't relate to Anne as an adult. She is the perfect wife and mother, with no ripples in the pond until late in the book. This is more a string of stories about her mostly perfect children, whose faults are only the cutest and most charming. I miss the spunky little girl, as an adult Anne really has no spark.
Also I have to say, it's disappointing that Anne gave up her writing. Surely with a full time nanny/housekeeper/cook, she could find a little time for herself to do some."
"So, after reading the Anne of Green Gables, first 3 books for book club I decided I wanted to read some of the later books in the series. I have enjoyed them. I think Anne's House of Dreams is my favorite. I'm currently on the last of the "Anne" titled books and there is something that is funny/frustrating to me.
Anne and Diana are talking and it mentions how Diana is 'matronly' looking i.e. chubby. (Now remember this is like 15 years later, so the girls are 30-ish.) And how Diana has always been not-thin etc. Also both Anne and Diana have now had SEVERAL children.
Anne and Diana are spending the day together remembering their youth.
"Don't talk as if 'our day' were ended, Diana. We're only fifteen years old and kindred spirits. The air isn't just full of light...it is light. I'm not sure that I haven't sprouted wings." "I feel just that way, too." said Diana, forgetting that she had tipped the scale at one hundred and fifty-five that morning.
It then goes on to talk about how Diana kept eating 'slivers' of chocolate cake. And finally Diana ... "picked up the plate which held the remainder of the chocolate cake...looked at it longingly...shook her head and packed it in the basket with an expression of great nobility and self-denial on her face.
Granted - this book was written a long time ago, and obviously people were skinner then. I guess I am just frustrated to have such a negative picture of being 155. Of course this may have hit a nerve with me since I am trying to loose weight after having Josh, but still, I would love to be 155. Aargh!
Also strangely in this series there is very little mention of pregnancy. Even among people talking to each other. When the first baby was due in House of Dreams it talked about how Anne was looking forward to a 'much expected time'. And she would be 'busy during the fall." But never came out and talked about what was going on. Anne and Gilbert didn't even tell their kids when Anne was going to have another, just sent them all to neighbors when the baby was due. How could this happen? I wonder if this was just because the books were written for children, or was life really like that with no mention of pregnancy except a 'delicate issue' here or there? Weird."
