This was my first experience with Anne of Green Gables, so I cannot compare it to the original text. Anne of Green Gables is a book that has been on my TBR for over twenty years, and I still haven't managed to read it.

This is a bit hard to review because this is for a graphic novel, but I only have the audio.

I thought this was a well condensed version of the story. It was easy to follow and I think young readers would have an easy time understanding it. I thought the voices in the narration were fantastic and distinct to each character.

I enjoyed this audiobook about the life of Anne of Green Gables and how she interacted with her new family and friends. It was a light read which was short and it was therefore easy to listen to. I really liked the voices of each character and how they were portrayed.

Many thanks to the author, publisher and netgalley for allowing me to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

This audiobook is an audio version of the graphic novel adaptation Anne of Green Gables. It would be nice to see the illustrations too, but this audiobook is excellent on its own.

Narration includes some music and background noises which make listening more pleasant, especially for the children. Narration and sounds bring Anne to life. Three narrators did all character voices, and they did a great job.

Thanks to the publisher for the opportunity to listen to this! All opinions are my own.

I loved this, mine was an audio book, and it brought back all the memories of the books that I've read and the video's that I watched.

The book starts at the beginning, and and goes right up until Anne is ready for collage.

What a great way to share with a child your love of Anne of Green Gables, a book that you and they will never want to end.

This is geared to 7 to 12 year olds to create a new group to endear with this wonderful series, and you will soon find yourself back on Prince Edwards Island, Canada, and bringing the spirit of Anne alive for your child!

I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Andrews McNeel Audio, and was not required to give a positive review.

This adaptation is available both as a graphic novel and this audiobook version. I listened to the audiobook and read the graphic novel after, since the audiobook I have doesn’t include the illustrations, and I was curious if they lived up to the audio adaption of Anne of Green Gables.

Listening to this audiobook was such a pleasure, it really does bring the spirit of Anne to life, and adds so much charm to the story. Timewise, this is much more manageable for younger children as it is slightly an hour and forty-five minutes. With three distinct narrators, Sharon Alexander as Anne, Rachel Jacobs as Marilla and Alan Carlson as Gilbert, this flows effortlessly, and is perfect on its own.
This abridged adaptation of Anne of Green Gables provides a wonderful introduction to Anne for children, one which parents will also enjoy.

I absolutely adored this production of Anne of Green Gables. Listen to it with a child you know or, if you remember the books from childhood, enjoy it for yourself. This edition of Anne of Green Gables is done with a unique voice for each character and a narrator who links them together. It was such a delightful listen. This edition of the book is engaging. I hope that it will also encourage children to read or listen to the unabridged stories about Anne.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this title. All opinions are my own.

Ok I could not finish listening to thus book. The character of Rachel Lind and her voice did not sit well with me and I could not go any further. I am a huge "Anne" fan but this was not my cup of tea.
