Lovely Narration!

Another great narration by Caruso! Her voice is so warm and comforting and the story is so lovely. Great listen!

Anne goes to college!

I love all the Anne books. I really enjoyed all Anne’s adventures in college. When I was younger, reading about the friends she makes and her academic accomplishments and romantic pratfalls helped me feel more prepared for college, even tho her school days were in a different century than mine. L.M. Montgomery has a great gift for character development; there are lots of wise words, wry humor and beautiful descriptions. It was a joy to listen to, tho the narrator sounds more middle aged than Anne really should, and occasionally adds an inaccurate Southern sort of drawl when certain characters like Davy speak. She does a good job conveying the feelings of the characters and the beauty of the language, so it’s a decent narration.

Beautiful story beautifully told

Personally my favorite volume of the classic series. The narrator has nice voice for it, soothing and homey.

A lovely adventure with Anne

This book is such a delight. It details her college years and her journey into womanhood. An enjoyable listen on every level with a satisfying and heart-warming flavor.
