Description: Good. Clean pages, faint spine creases, sticker mark & bent corners on cover. From School Library Journal Grade 6 Up– L. M. Montgomery fans will be delighted by Barbara Caruso's narration of the fifth volume in the series (Indy, 2001).

"I'm not sick anymore, but I keep reading the Anne books. I sincerely think they boost my immune system! I read Anne of the Island and my cold vanished the next day. It's probably because nothing warms my soul like mushy, endearing Anne. True, her life is hella boring now that she's a wife and mother (and OMG a Conservative!), and we have to rely on her neighbors for adventures, but still. I'm as interested in her as any of my flesh and blood childhood friends."
"This was probably my fourth attempt at this book over a matter too many years to count. I finally got through it so I can eventually finish the series of my favorite childhood literary character. This book just didn't grab and hold me like the others. Maybe it's because it's veering more away from Anne and telling more about the characters surrounding her. Gilbert seemed quite silenced in this book as well. I would have hoped to see him a bit more involved in the story. Still fun, still witty, just not the best of the series by a long shot."
"As I read each story of Anne, I'm more disappointed. Anne of Green Gables was certainly the best and there has never been the same magic in the other four books I have read in the series so far. I expect the same from the last three books in the series. I should had just ended at the first book, but now that I'm in them, I might as well carry forth. I find Anne's life rather boring yet again, and rather disappointing. To go to college and then just to be content to stay home just doesn't seem possible for the Anne that I knew in the first book. It just doesn't seem to me that men would talk such discriptions of scenery as L.M. Montgomery writes from some of her men characters. It's a new location for Anne & Gilbert which means new friends and there are at least two surprises in this story that will really shock the readers, at least I didn't see it coming and of course there is also some sadness."
"Another wonderful "Anne" book, although different from the first four in many ways. The tale introduces tragedy as a theme through the character of Leslie Moore, and I was quite blessed by reading it as I have a "Leslie" in my own life--someone who has been hurt, and who wants to love, but who struggles with resentment. Montgomery was so insightful in her treatment of that character in particular, and I felt encouraged by her perspective. Anne's own journey as a newlywed is not addressed much, as I wished it had been--it did seem a little as if she didn't have much left to learn as far as the story line went, that Montgomery would rather just tell another "falling in love" story now that Gilbert was secure. But it was still a good and worthy book, and I can add a new comforting aphorism to the Montgomery stock thanks to Miss Cornelia: "Isn't that just like a man?""
