Summary: Wonderfull! The best of the Anne books.
Comment: I loved Rilla of Ingleside best of all the Anne books. It is a down to earth sort of book, in which Rilla, Anne's last child learns that life is not just a whirl of parties and fun, but that there is a time to be serious and a time to be happy. Rilla goes to her first party were Kenneth Ford first really notices her. They have a wonderful time together, but then comes the horrible news. England has declared war on Germany! This takes Kens attention from her and thus to Rilla, ruins her first party. Then Jem enlists, then Ken, then Walter, and yet Rilla lives through it all, and after 4 years of war, Rilla has changed from a vain young girl to a woman. Follow her through times of tragedy and romance, in Rilla of Ingleside. I really enjoyed this wonderfull book!

Summary: Rilla of Ingleside
Comment: I would recommend this book if you wish to find out the fates of Anne's children as adults, but don't expect it to be as enchanting as the rest of the Anne books. I felt that it was too sad and had a rather dark and unhappy air about it; none of the characters seemed really happy through any of it.
I felt that although this book was very well written and portrayed the effects of the war on Rilla and Prince Edward Island very well, it didn't quite reach the same caliber that the rest of the Anne books did.
I loved Anne and she is my favorite character in any book I've read. In "Rilla," however, Anne seemed completely erased. Montgomery persistantly referred to her as "Mother" or "Mrs. Blythe" and never really opened any window into Anne's feelings or reactions to the war. Susan, who is just the maid was more of a mother than Anne was, and I find that to be backwards. I also felt that the rest of the cast were really not involved enough at all, except those who had something to do with Rilla. For example, I would have liked to hear about the romances between Jem and Faith and Jerry and Nan with a little more detail. Furthermore, there were times I even forgot that Di, Una, Nan, and Shirley even existed. The entire book revolved far too much around Rilla, with not near enough emphasis on the minor characters, except Walter and Ken.
I did enjoy the transition between Rilla becoming a frivolous, vain girl to a responsible, mature woman and I respected her for the trials she was able to bear. However, I felt that she lacked the vivacity and other qualities that make a heroine memorable.

Summary: i'm lovin it
Comment: hi every1 my name is joanna neves and i love this book it just seemed so real. Rilla is such a cool name! Some people might think thatit is wrong to blame Germany for the war but the opinions of the characters are true to how people did feel in wartime. I love a book that makes you cry and laugh. This one plays on your emotions and is well worth reading.
