But I found the whole Captain Jim storyline very annoying, and the 'mistaken identity' cliche at the end was cringe-inducing. Similarly, Anne's House of Dreams is a great book when it's focusing on Anne's new life as a married woman and her friendship with Leslie, and the atmosphere of the book is amazing. For example, Rilla of Ingleside is great as a story of a spoilt girl growing up into a mature young woman during wartime but the war updates and constant political diatribes are VERY boring for someone reading it a century later. But some of the best ones also have some glaring flaws. The rest of the books are excellent, of course. And Phil is one of my favourite characters in the series - what a pity she never appeared in any of the other books again. I really love the depiction of Anne's college life, especially the scenes in Patty's Place. The reason for loving the first one is obvious - it's the original, after all! And AotI is such an enjoyable book.
My favourites are Anne of Green Gables and Anne of the Island. At first I almost hated Rilla Of Ingleside but then I realized I didn't hate the book for it work but I hated the war and death that ended so much romance because in my mind I wanted Anne and her children to keep living with all the romantic notions that existed in Anne of green gables. Montgomery has left a lasting impression in my heart and mind. Every time I hear anyone mention the piper I think war and death. Montgomery wrote Rilla of Ingleside in just such a manner, If you didn't cry several times then it's not Montgomery's fault, because she wrote in such a manner to almost rip your heart from your chest, maybe this is what she felt at the time pouring her sorrow into her work. I knew this was the last book and I longed for more. before I even read Rilla Of Ingleside I cried because I felt like I was picking up a book that would end my best friends life. Each book captivated me I felt as if I were Anne in each book or if not her then her best friend watching from a distance ever longing to dive right into the story and become apart of it. My favorite of the Anne series is Anne of Green Gables, it is this intial book that causes you to fall in love with Anne's Character and read more of Montgomery's work.
