Book Description:
Anne Shirley is grown up and married, and her six children are off having their own adventures with the Merediths - the four children of a widowed, absent-minded minister. Whether they're hiding a runaway home girl and plotting to save her from the orphanage or organizing a day of fasting to punish themselves for singing an awful song in the graveyard, their adventures and misadventures make this seventh Anne novel a different, but still delightful, story.

The book is interesting, but I can always here it and it is a change after a listen to the louder voice in Anne's House of Dreams.

Subject: In the beginning...
At first the reader made me feel sleepy; very lack of enthusiasm. You can hardly see the change from one character to another, a pity! The first book, Anne of Green Gables, for me, had the best narrative ever!

Let me tell you, this reader is not horrible! You have not listened to many of these books to say that! She is not dramatic, but she is clear and doesn't have an abrasive voice. Good book, good reading.

Wonderful. I appreciate the slower reading...hearing the pace and timbre of Ms. Montgomery, allowing me to absorb her descriptions of this part of our country. The characters are gentle, but realistic. I grew up when many young people were much like this.

Fantastic effort :)

Subject: poor reader
Very boring and distracting narration with poor pacing.
Reviewer: - November 23, 2013
Subject: Very good
In chapter 21 it repeated "and in his own occasional visitations of common sense" twice. Overall a good reading.
Reviewer: - September 25, 2013
Subject: Poor quality
Voice and overall narration is really bad. Please don't pause between every word in the credits.
Reviewer: - August 15, 2013
Subject: Speeds up
Even though it begins intolerably slow it does pick up after a couple of chapters. Unfortunately it's read more like a somber press release than a cheery novel; and the characters have little personality. But the voice is clear and the words are easy to understand. All in all it's an acceptable recording.

Subject: Too slow
Could not listen to this. The reading was horrible!
Reviewer: - April 23, 2013
Subject: Too slow
I couldn't even listen to the whole thing! It was just read too slowly with a pause between each word! It's a shame because I really love this series! I've skipped ahead to the final book.
