"By far my favorite book in the series. I love how the author is able to incorporate the history of WWI and show them through the eyes of a "normal" family. I love being able to see the main character's growth throughout the book. I also like how it nicely wraps up all of the children's stories. The only thing that keeps it from being a five-star book is the slight amount of preachiness regarding the nature of mankind towards power and the authors desire to foreshadow WWII." — Nichole (4 out of 5 stars)

" I loved this book. Loved watching Rilla grow up. Loved and ached for Dog Monday waiting for Jems at the train station. Missed life from Anne's point of view - a bit, but not as much as I expected. "
" I think this is one of my favorites in the series. I was leary of it at first because Rilla is so immature and childish in the beginning, I didn't know how I could follow her for an entire book. Then, she changes drastically as her world changes around her and becomes very likeable. "
" I do like seeing the development of Rilla and it's nice to see Anne again. I don't know much about the Great War, so some of the names are a little lost to me, but I still enjoyed it. "
" Of all the books in the 'Anne of Green Gables' series this is my favorite follow up. Who doesn't like a good world war one love story? "
" I always thought I'd read all of the Anne books until I read this one last year. The most thought provoking of all of them because it takes place during WWI. It still makes me sad to think about about it, but still has that old fashioned moralism that Montgomery has that makes it good to read. "
" This book was good but heart wrenching at times and the ending was a little unsatisfactory in that it left you wanting more and for the first time in 8 books, there was no more. Interesting perspective on WW1. "
" This book still makes me sad, but I don't loath it as much as I did as a child. "
" Besides the initial Anne of Gables this is definitely one of my favorite books in the series. It's interesting to read about WWI from the Canadian point of view. I don't see as many books during the first World War, and it was really moving. "
" This book was by far my favorite of the "Anne" series. I don't know exactly what it was (I love L.M. Montgomery's writing anyway) but this book was so eloquent and touching. I cried at parts and was completely wrapped in the story the whole time. Loved it!! "
" One of my favourite in the series. Read first as a pre-teen and have read it many time since. I don't know why the CBC does make a tv movie of this one, WWI, life on the home front, coming of age, romance, it's got it all. "
" The only bad part about this book was that it was over when I finished reading it! I wish there were more books in this series. Rilla of Ingleside and Rainbow Valley (the 7th and 8th books) were probably my favorite out of all the books in the series. I loved this book! It was so exciting! "
" I enjoyed this series so much in spite of myself! I was sad when Walter was killed in the war, thrilled when Rilla's young man came home safely, and sad when her foundling "war baby" went back to his father. "
" Maybe I shouldn't star this at all, because as a kid, I never finished it. After Anne of the Island, the series really began to drag for me, as much as I love LM Montgomery. "
" This is one of my favorite books. I think a lot of people can't get past Anne of Windy Poplers. The books after that are fantastic. I love them. "
" Rilla, Anne's daughter is so like her...that said, her personality develops very differently. "
" This book was so good! A perfect conclusion to the series. The only problem I have with it is that it leaves a few things hanging.... "
" Apparently the ONLY book written by a woman about those left at home to cope during World War I... "
" I have to admit that it was a rather poor ending to the beloved Anne books that I love so much. I'd prefer the series if it ended with Rainbow Valley. "
" Loved this book. I cried while reading it and cried when I finished it. I did NOT want this series to end! "
" I didn't like Rilla as well as Anne, but overall, perhaps my second or third favorite in the series. "
" Lovely book. More serious than I remembered, focusing on World War I. Montgomery really draws the reader in. "
" Anne's barely in this one, I'm guessing because L.M. Montgomery was heartily sick of her. I could have done without the lisp, but other than that, I loved it. "
" This was definitely the heaviest book in the "Anne of Green Gables" series - if you can even call it a part of the series. It's very sad, and that damn Dog Monday had me in tears on every page on which he appeared. "
