Pollyanna, with eBook Audiobook

" I found the book too slow and boring. Maybe it's because I'm a negative person, but I found her irritating. "

" Love this story! Sweet. Simple. Easy read. A great read aloud to your children. Highly recommend reading before seeing the movie...especially the Disney version...My daughter is firm in her stance that it makes no sense to have Pollyanna fall from a tree...great book for discussing choosing a great attitude no matter what. "

" I just finished reading this with my 8 yo daughter. Ya just can't help but decide to play "the game". Love the attitude and the influence once person can have on so many.... "

" I just love it ! "

" I hate Pollyanna's books... Her constant optimism makes me sick... "

" I read this with my daughter. She loved it. I was surprised at how dumb it was, since it is a famous book. "

" This book was so sickly sweet that it was hard to read, even in middle school. And I love sweet novels. Pollyanna seems much too cheerful and good to relate to, unlike other fictional orphans. "

" A deserved classic of children literature. "

" It was a very good uplifting read. Chapter 22, when Pollyanna talks with the minister is my favorite chapter. If you've seen the Disney movie, it doesn't follow a whole lot of the book, unfortunately. So read the book, it's better! :-) "

" I loved this book. Just read and not sure why I did not read it as a young person but so glad I finally did read it. Everyone should play the glad game and I think we would all be happier people. "

" Read a few chapters each day with my daughters. We enjoyed the story but disappointed with the ending. "

" Too sugary..but a good read! "

" I love this story. There are always blessings hidden among challenges. "

" a sweet childhood memory & favorite "

" The glad game...can't do it all the time, but it has possibilities. I am glad that I could read it with my daughter! "

" Not as good as Anne of Green Gables, but brought back wonderful memories. "

" Sappy tale of an orphan who plays the glad game and fixes everything. "

" polyanna is a true classic and everyone loves it especially because it is part of the great illustrated classics group and i love all their books as well "

" This book was a fun read! Trust me, if you think the Disney version was over-the-top with sweetness and gladness, this book may be too much happiness for you to handle. They toned it down for the movie, if you can believe that! "

" I think this book was written to show that if you are happy you make other people happy; and a good way to be happy is to always look on the bright side. Pollyanna helped lots of people and made them happy and then when Pollyanna needed help being happy, they helped her. "

" There is a reason this was a top ten bestseller when it came out. Even after 100 yrs, it's still a great book, although parts of it are a bit dated now. "

" I've read this book when I was 10. It os amazing and a true life changing. Throughout the years I never forget the lessons this book brought to me and always tried to follow the Pollyana way of life. "

" I was curious about this book, having seen the Disney movie some years ago. I enjoyed it and enjoyed the main character, Pollyanna. It's darker than the movie as is to be expected with characters that are well fleshed out and interesting. "

" i had read this as a kid, but i wanted to read it again. fantastic book! "

" I love the movie, and I loved the book. "

" I loved this book. I was expecting it to be good because I really like the movie, but the book is even better. It made me cry. It has such a sweet message. "

" I love this story of a young girl who lives her life full of joy. Always a good read. "

" pengen jd kaya pollyana..ketika ada sesuatu yang tidak d harapkan datang, ia anggap itu sebuah permainan..susah maupun sedih ia tetap ceria dan sabar..sedih bacanya.. "

" Super cute read. I decided to check it out because I'd never really knew the entire story of Pollyanna and I'm SO GLAD I did. hee hee "

" A very well-done, and touching quick read. I grew up loving the movie, and this (of course) adds a lot to it! Any fan of the movie should read this book =) You'll be sure to enjoy it. "

" I love this book! It has such an amusing moments and so easy to read and its such a light story.I advise everyone to read it...who forgot how to be thankful to smallest things "
