Awful narrator!

Is there anything you would change about this book?

It's a fantastic book, one of my favorites, the whole series is, but this narrator is awful and I'm really struggling to keep listening.

What didn’t you like about Mary Sarah’s performance?

Really struggling to get through the book with this narrator. It's one of my favorite books but I just can't listen to it with this narrator, she's given Anne a weird, almost posh, pinched sounding voice, she puts the emphasis on odd places in a sentence, its just awful narration.

Book 2 for Anne Shirley, A classic!

Our beloved heroine in her second book in the series of Anne and her further adventures. Her times with Miss Lavender and other kindred spirits were my favourite. I am now used to this narrator, I liked her accent and am disappointed that neither this one or Rachel McAdams who narrated the first Anne of Green Gables, I listened to on here, are to be found for book number 3.

Loved the story but the narrators voice is odd!

Spoilt by the narrator I am afraid.
Very odd voice, that I don't think is a natural for this sort of thing!
Sorry!

Still Delighful

Any additional comments?

Amazing story, with all the innocence and attraction of Anne of Green Gables and still also able to give you that wonderful feel good factor. I loved every minute of it. It's an excellent pick me up. Mary Sarah's narration was very good, it was nice that she had also narrated Anne of Green Gables so it was quite easy to continue straight into this audio book. In a couple of places there was background noise, also a couple of times lines were repeated. But for what I paid for this I'm not complaining, it was of good quality and far better than the ones in the public domain. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

Most annoying fictional child character... Ever!

The sequel is set immediately after the events of Anne of Green Gables. Anne takes over as teacher in the village school and this book is an enjoyable look at her first few years. It introduces several new characters that Anne befriends and helps. Marilla Cuthbert is left looking after Davy and Dora when a relative dies and Davy serves to get up to the same high jinks as Anne did in the first book. But, he does it without the innocence and charm of Anne, he is the most annoying child in English Literature. A spoilt brat probably with ADHD. I felt like switching the book of when e ever he appeared. But, I persevered and was glad I did. I'm not sure if I need to know what happens to Anne Shirley next. A fine reading by Mary Sarah and well worth the 95p that I paid.

Didn’t like the narrator

She put many strange breaks and stresses into sentences. Like this: “Jack and Jill went up. The hill to fetch a pail of water.”

Speechless

This book is so...I don't know how to describe it. Anne has such an imagination and I feel as if I have known her all my life and she is one of my greatest friends.
Thank you so much!!!

Anne Of Avonlea read by Mary Sarah

Following on from "Anne of Green Gables", "Anne Of Avonlea" is the next enjoyable instalment that follows Anne Shirley from her own school days to becoming a teacher herself & all the different things that happen to her & the people she meets. A very enjoyable audio book read by Mary Sarah. All the characters come to life through the very god reading of Mary Sarah.
