Anne of Avonlea (version 2)

(5 stars)

Karen does an amazing job reading. She brings this lovely story to life and imbues each character with personality. I was especially impressed with the way she managed to make Davy Keith & Paul Irving two entirely different little boy voices. Or that her voice as a narrator is distinct from all of her character voices. A fantastic reading!

Lovely Classic

The reader did a good job at bringing the book to life. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this selection. As for the book itself, if you view each book in the series as pieces of the story of Anne's life, then it isn't at all lacking...as others have complained. If it is directly compared, out of context to Anne of Green Gables, then you may be disappointed. I enjoy listening to all of the books and reliving my childhood. All in all, a fun little book about a beloved character who has a life full of silly little crises, lots of adventures, and a strong love for those near her. Sweet story.

Another tour de force by Karen

Craig Morley

Karen's sweet, girlish and wonderfully expressive voice has made for another well-read book with all the characters speaking in their own unique tones that let's one know who is speaking without the oft-redundant "he said's" and "she said's" as nessescitated by other writers and lessor readers. I feel certain that Karen would make an excellent voice actress: she is already a first-rate amateur and would do equally well in a paid role. Karen dear, you really would do well to write one or two children's books and narrate them, I'm certain you do an outstanding job I love the way you make Davy sound mischievous, contrite and inquisitive all at once. How do you do it? "I want to know!" :-)

A Very Worthy Sequel

I doubted that any sequel could match the charm of the first novel and initially thought I was correct. However, Montgomery does a good job of transitioning into Anne's teenage years and maturing the tone of the story while maintaining the atmosphere that makes these books so wonderful. These books always surprise me with their moments of profound depth and the palpable sense of magic in these novels. Also, Ms. Karen Savage continues reading perfectly; I am so excited to hear her narrate the other volumes.

Contagious Imaginings

(5 stars)

I hardly was able to get through listening to the first chapter of the first book of this series, but upon completion I was addicted to listening to it. Karen Savage is a talented and exquisite reader. Lucy Maud M. was an inspired author. I would recommend this to anyone who is open to imagination.

Wonderful story with a top notch reader!

L.M. Montgomery has been a lifelong favorite author of mine. I love to transport myself into the worlds she creates and Karen Savage makes that so easy and pleasurable. This is the BEST version of the book I've ever heard. Thanks Karen for delivering a beautiful reading of a classic!

This is a gorgeous book! This series has always been a favorite since my mother first read it to me! Anne is such a wonderfully written character. She has the power to make you laugh, make you cry but always finds a way to make sure you keep dreaming no matter what! Just simply beautiful!

Lovely book. Superb reader.

This book reminds us that a good life is a simple one, where community and nature are important to our well being. We have forgotten these in our modern 'busy' lives. I loved Karen Savage's reading. Thank you so much for many hours of pure pleasure Karen.
