Download Kilmeny of the Orchard Audiobook

" A sweet, quick read that is perhaps a bit old-fashioned, Kilmeny of the Orchard offers beautiful imagery and a story of unconditional love. Although a bit predictable and laden with parts that made me feel more was needed (i.e. more sympathy for Neil, more experience of the real world for Kilmeny's part), I couldn't put it down and thought that, once again, Lucy Maud Montgomery delivered an enchanting story. "

" I just read this on the online gutenberg project to kill time at the office, expecting to enjoy it, because I love Montgomery despite her floweriness. Kilmeny was rather over-the-top romantic and flowery, but I liked it all the same. I can't decide if that is Montgomery's fault or mine. "

" While this didn't pique my interest as much as Anne of Green Gables or the Blue Castle, this is a solid read, and a great short story by Ms. Montgomery. If you've enjoyed her series and stand-alone books, then you will definitely enjoy this. It's a nice, short (not overly so) love story between what seems like an unlikely couple :) "

" This one was pretty dated (and a bit racist) and the resolution was obvious/not very satisfying. However, I don't really read LM Montgomery for her plots but for her descriptions of characters and places. She makes pre World War 1 Canada seem like a wild flower filled wonderland. It's a cute love story full of pretty prose. "

" One of my three top favorites of her works! So bewitchingly lovely! "

" Although this (and Hogg's poem) is where I found my daughter's name, I feel this is one of Montgomery's weaker works. "

" A lovely story by LM Montgomery. Totally different than ANY of the "Anne's" but a delightful read and an excellent ending. I love all the descriptive writing that is LM's style and can't wait to give this one to Violet in about 3 years or so :) A must read if you are inclined towards LM Montgomery's style! "

" I was expecting more out of an L.M. Montgomery book. Very predictable storyline. "

" Another touching classic from LM Montgomery "

" I love this simple, romantic tale. "

" A fun trip down memory lane. I read this in probably 5th or 6th grade and loved and and I loved just as much (maybe even more) this time around. Just love L.M. Montgomery. I think I will have to pick up Anne of Green Gables here soon. "

" Super cute non-Anne book. Is also a very quick read. "

" A little bit dark for L. M. Montgomery. "

" Decently fun little romantical story, great for girls. Not Montgomery's best offering. "

" This is a delightful, winsome book with wonderful descriptions. Although the romance seems very dated now the atmosphere of the setting still makes this a very enjoyable read. "

" I never was able to get into this as a teen, and in fact it vaguely reminded me of a dreadful book by the author of Peter Pan, James Barrie, called The Little Minister. "

" I don't mind sentimental, but this lacked the humor of her other novels, and had a very silly plotline. Not a crossover young adult/adult novel...keep it for children only. "

" Again, makes you want to go to PEI. Still, not fabulous like Anne. "

" From the same author of Anne of Green Gables. There are quite many prejudices in it, but it wasn't as bad as I feared. "

" i'm glad montgomery strayed away from this type of story afterward "

" It was a good quick read. Very sweet :) "

" Very sweet! I enjoyed this book a lot and will hopefully buy it. :) Special things in it include a girl who can't speak but is very beautiful, family intrigue, and of course, a handsome gentleman. :) "

" Kinda cheesy, but still in the sweet style of L M Montgomery. "

" This woman is the same one who wrote Anne of Green Gables? Really? This book was the written equivalent of a Lifetime Movie. Extremely fluffy with no substance but it passed the time. "

" As a young girl I loved this book. It captivated me. And I remember vowing to name my first born daughter Kilmeny (thank goodness I did not!) "

" I had heard so many lovely things about this book, and was not sure how I had missed it. Turns out because it is short (more like a novella, a length I generally dislike), and really kind of creepy. Gets a few points for Montgomery's lush writing style, and that's about it. "

" Good book, and a quick read. Ending a little to pat, but then, if it hadn't ended happily, would I have liked it as much? I'm not sure... "

" I didn't think it was her best book, I have like others better "

" One of my favorite love stories "

" Quick, sweet read. At 100 pages, I would almost call it a short story rather than a novel, but it was a cute little love story. Enjoy it for what it is, but don't analyze it too closely--I don't think it would hold up under close scrutiny "

" As a young girl I loved this book. It captivated me. And I remember vowing to name my first born daughter Kilmeny (thank goodness I did not!) "

" I started this book but i couldnt finish it. It was too boring. "

" When I only give 3 stars to this book, it is simply because it reminds me so much of many of LMM's short stories that it just seemed like an extra long short story. The characters and the plot was just as one dimensional as in a short story, but still a very likable one. "

" I love L.M. Montgomery's books, they are timeless. "

" Ok, I'll admit it's a little sappy.
BUT, an Island author and a great piece of writing.
Kilmeny steals hearts. Deal with it. "

" It was a cute short story. It wasn't L. M. Montgomery's best book but it was still good. I enjoyed it, although it didn't have as much depth asher other novels do. "

" From the same author of Anne of Green Gables. There are quite many prejudices in it, but it wasn't as bad as I feared. "
