Anne of Green Gables

Oh wow, what an amazing book. Besides Dracula, which is my favourite book, I rarely read classics. They tend to bore me and I find them so hard to get into, but I got a pretty edition of “Anne of Green Gables” a while ago and I finally decided to pick it up.

Ever since the beginning, I fell in love with Anne. What a brilliant soul she is. She's a pretty red-headed orphan girl who is adopted by mistake by a sister and brother that live in Avonlea. By mistake meaning they wanted a boy, but they got the skinny girl that couldn't stop talking. Anne grows on them day by day and she becomes a part of their little family.

I absolutely loved Anne's journey, it was so inspiring and it's a perfect example for: no matter where you come from, you can do it. She is so ambitious, so full of life, she finds pleasure in the smallest things and I think that's really beautiful. We should all be like Anne, who feels so happy just by seeing a beautiful sunrise or a lake, she is so fascinated by nature's wonders.

This book starts with Anne as an eleven year old child who makes a lot of mistakes and it ends with Anne as a beautiful, mature teenager now sixteen, who has achieved so many great things and has become such a wonderful person. It's a very emotional ride and I just couldn't put the book down.
