Publisher's Summary
With all of the pluck and charm of its eponymous young hero, Rachel McAdams (The Notebook, Spotlight, Midnight in Paris) delivers a spectacular reading of Montgomery's beloved bildungsroman. In moments both funny and bittersweet, McAdams' voice is imbued with the spark that has made Anne a much-loved symbol of individualism and cheer for over a century. In this story of "kindred spirits", McAdams' touching and heartfelt narration proves she is just that - bonded on a deep level to this shimmering classic.
When aging brother and sister Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert decide to adopt an orphan boy to help with chores around their farm, Green Gables on Prince Edward Island, neither is prepared for the feisty and imaginative redheaded girl who is mistakenly brought to them instead. Nor are they prepared for the way in which she will change their lives. Through a series of hilarious misadventures, Anne's uncompromising spirit makes her a striking presence in the close-knit village, bringing new friendships, first crushes, and, for her foster parents, a love and openness unimaginable before her arrival.

I finally know what all the fuss is about!
I was born and raised on Prince Edward Island. I vaguely remember flipping through this book at the age of nine. I had already seen the movies and the stage musical more than once. I have always enjoyed the story, but I never really grasped why it was considered such a classic. You see, Anne is kind of shoved down our throats here on PEI. There is Avonlea Village, a water park called Shining Waters, Anne food, Anne drink, Anne merchandise. People travel here from all over the world to experience it.
I bought this audiobook on a whim and I am so glad I did. I was completely charmed by it. The story is written so simply, yet so gloriously! Lucy Maud Montgomery had me laughing and crying. I feel foolish saying it, but several times my heart swelled. Rachel McAdams did a beautiful job. Her long dialogues as Anne were at times dizzying! She read with real passion and love.
I am so glad I got to experience Anne again. Now I can take in this tourist season and know what all the fuss is about.

Rachel McAdams is incredible!!
Rachel McAdams is a brilliant performer!!! I hope she does more books. Sadly, this is the only book on audible she has done. Anne of Green Gables is fabulous but her performance made it even more captivating! Fingers crossed audible and Rachel McAdams team up to continue the series! I could listen to her for days! If I could I would give the performance a 6/5

RACHEL MCADAMS IS A SNORE
I've been reading this book and series since I was 7 years old. I've seen all the movies and shows and heard all the audio books. This is by far the worst narration I've ever heard. Lifeless and dull. McAdams doesn't even try to change the tone of her voice for different characters or even for variety of emotions. It's just blah.

Terrible narration!
I couldn't listen to the entirety. Narrator's boredom quickly bored me to tears. Very disappointed that this gem of a story was not delivered with the flourish it truly deserves.

Amazing audiobook for a Canadian classic
I have to admit, I was skeptical of Rachel McAdams when I started this book. I found it a bit difficult to get past envisioning some of her characters she plays on screen when she was reading. But once I got past that, she was fantastic. This was my first experience of the book and I can proudly say it started me on the journey down the series.

Not just nostalgia!
I had started listening to this story for the sole purpose of nostalgia, but it didn’t take long for me to be swept away just like I had been when I was a little girl! Rachel McAdams does a fabulous job of capturing the whimsical voice of Anne Shirley, and I am SO HAPPY I purchased this book!
