I got the entire Anne of Green Gables series a couple years ago from my mother. I loved the TV show as a child, but struggled to get through the books - mostly because of the more and more sueish way everyone else seemed to think of Anne (really, not having everyone's adoring thoughts about her spelled out would have made a world of difference) and because I couldn't stand Marilla's adopted twins - the girl because she wasn't a character at all, the boy because he was a caricature with no more actual personality than the girl, and the set of them because the good girl was somehow less lovable than the bad boy.
