About this listen

At sixteen, Anne is grown up...almost. Her gray eyes shine like evening stars, but her red hair is still as peppery as her temper. In the years since she arrived at Green Gables as a freckle-faced orphan, she has earned the love of the people of Avonlea and a reputation for getting into scrapes. But when Anne begins her job as the new schoolteacher, the real test of her character begins.

Along with teaching the three Rs, she is learning how complicated life can be when she meddles in someone else's romance, finds two new orphans at Green Gables, and wonders about the strange behaviour of the very handsome Gilbert Blythe. As Anne enters womanhood, her adventures touch the heart and the funny bone.

Narrator is not my cup of tea

Narrator sounds like a commercial for a department store or something. Not my cup of tea after hearing Rachael McAdams (sp?) narrate the first book.

This was hard to sit through.

Anne of Avonlea

I loved it. The performance was woderful, and the story of Anne Shirley is amazing as always. This is a wonderful audiobook, and I highly suggest it. The story was really brought to life.

Hard to Listen to

Fabulous story by L.M. Montgomery ruined by terrible narration and utter lack of understanding the story.

Weird Cadence

I love the story of Anne of Green Gables and the entire Anne series. Anne of Avonlea is a bit slower overall than Anne of Green Gables, but it is a vital piece of the series. My issue is not the story nor the punctuation within it; however, punctuation seems to have escaped Beth Kesler's attention. She pauses at completely random moments that are not dictated by punctuation nor are they needed for effect. The result is an audio version to which it is nearly impossible to listen. I quit listening, in fact, after the first 45 minutes or so. My 7 year old, with whom I listen to books on our way to and from school, noticed it right away and asked if we could please turn it off even though she wanted to hear the story I told her that it might get better, but it didn't. We ended up purchasing the story again but with a different narrator.

Narrator was not my cup of tea!

I don’t mean to hurt her feelings, but the narrator was in way over her head on this book, and her voice was cringe. I almost had to stop the book within the first hour. However, I love the book itself and I kept going. It’s a good distraction if you have a long drive.

Narrator horrible

The book is different from the movie, obviously. But I think I like the movie more than this book. The narrator was horrific. I had to speed it up to get through it.

Wonky reading

I'm usually not picking about the narration but found the singsongy voice irritating. Every phrase is read as if by a preschool teacher to their class, and Marilla sounds like the Wicked Witch of the West.
