Anne's House of Dreams (version 2)

A Perfect Reading

(5 stars)

Alessandro Serenelli

Ms. Karen Savage's readings of the Anne of Green Gables novels are one of the greatest attractions of Librivox and even outdo most professionally produced audiobooks. The novel itself is very pleasant and certainly good (though perhaps the least good thus far). I could not help smiling to hear about Anne's wedding and the joy of the young lovers. Montgomery does not really dwell on the wedding itself and is much more interested in diving straight into married life and takes the story through some unexpected turns. Overall, this was a very enjoyable book and the reading of it is done to perfection. Ms. Savage deserves our gratitude for her many projects here on Librivox. We only ask, like children never quite satisfied with what they have, that she consider doing a reading of the next book, Rainbow Valley, so that her readings of the public domain Anne novels may be complete. Thank you, Ms. Savage!

Beautiful story and beautifully read! :) I lost interest in this book as a child, but a decade later it's become one of my favourites. It's lovely to get a glimpse into Anne's early married life, and there are some unexpected turns in the plot. As usual in the Anne books, the setting is beautiful and there are new, interesting characters to meet. Miss Cornelia, in particular, was hilarious and brought a lot of laugh out loud moments.

Possibly my favorite Anne story since the first

Though I know Lucy Maude went back and filled in the years between the third novel and this one, I liked the little time skip and that it readied Anne for a new setting and characters that were very refreshing and enjoyable. This was a pretty heavy book though, a lot of sad themes. But they were done very well and I really enjoyed. And as always, the reading was amazing, thank you.

I love this book

In my opinion this is the best book in the series because the best parts come when you least expect it but like all good books there are some sad parts but I still recommend this to Anyone who enjoys a good story!

wonderful!

I hadn't realised how much better it is to listen to a book read by one person rather than having to adjust volume and retune your ears between chapters. Thank you Karen! Just lovely to be transported to another world for a short period.

perfect narration!

Absolutely perfect narration. This narrator (Karen Savage) has read all the previous Anne books and I highly recommend her! This is my least favorite of all the Anne books, but I'm still glad to have read it. It wraps up Anne's story well.

Excellent! One of the best!

What an excellent book, and so well read by the Librivox volunteer. I'd never read this one and was delighted to find it full of classic Anne in a new, grown up, married way. Living on a different part of Prince Edward Island with her new doctor husband, we are introduced to a whole new cast of extremely well developed characters. Kudos to Lucy Maud Montgomery for such a wonderful story added to this series.

Really wonderful.

I really enjoyed this book almost as much as the the first in the series. One almost feels as though one is in Anne's world. As ever it is wonderfully read. Thank you Karen for the time you have taken to read this and all the other books. It is very much appreciated.
