Anne Of Green Gables by LM Montgomery

"No-Spoiler-Alert"

It was a pure delight to enjoy the atmospheric detailing of the Prince Edward Island. For someone like me, who gets deep into the non-tangible details of sight and smell of a setting before discerning the personality perusal, Anne of Green Gables is a bulls-eye !
I personally related to Anne Shirley's character personification in totality. Her penchant for larger-than-life words, spark and zest for life, optimism and seeing the glint in the worst, describes our protagonist. She is funny, curious and full-of-life. 
Her style of answering to her own questions in the most flamboyant style possible, takes the reader deep into the atmospheric setting she builds-up.
Before picking up the book, I was dubious if Anne is one of those hyperbolic characters which fades away as the novel progresses, but LM Montgomery has woven her with grit and determination, vivacity and childishness. Anne deepens the interest of the reader, as the novel progresses.
There are moments of laughter and grief, moments of dancing with rapture and instances to wail and break. But there is no moment, for your heart to settle in a space of humdrumness.
I would have appreciated if the authoress would have described Anne's stay in Avonlea with Matthew and Marilla in more detail. It would have helped the readers to breathe in innocence a little more.
As I was devouring through the pages, my heart was melting away with the thought, that soon it will be all over. And yes it was. 
I am surely, picking up the sequels, to explore how our all grown-up Anne shoulders with the world and it's responsibilities.
This book has transcended most of my existing reads, and is etched forever in my memory as one of my favorites for long!

NB- Epitome of friendship is directly proportional to the bosom friendship of Anne and Diana.

I give 5 stars to Anne of Green Gables.
