Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery: Anne starts out the book as an orphan and then finds a home and friends and family at Green Gables. POV: 3rd person limited, varied, past tense.
Abridged versions of children's books should burn in eternal fire. I was only supposed to read this up to where Anne was an early teen, but that self-control didn't hold out well at all. I find it interesting how much Anne's vanity is irritating to me this time around. I don't know how many times (or if ever) I've read this book, but I didn't remember Anne being such a girly-girl. I guess I remembered things like walking ridgepoles and assumed this sort of thing was mutually exclusive to wanting frou-frou dresses. I failed to remember that most of the tomboy activities occured when she was younger. (Don't worry. I obviously didn't hold it against her.) I wanted to immediately go on to Anne of Avonlea, but I couldn't justify it because of the protagonist's age. Soon, I told myself, after November you can read it. After a little grumbling, I agreed.
