I had never read Anne of Green Gables. But I was at a sleepover with my best friend Helen, and she had rented the film. I was just 'OK, let's watch it'. And I was stricken. It was brilliant!!!!!!!!! From the moment Anne starts reading 'The Lady of Shalott' - one of my favourite poems - I knew I would love her. Megan Follows is the one person who can bring Anne to life...It was all I could do not to beg Helen to tell me the ending. It's wonderful...and Gilbert Blythe is great, in spite of his name (GILBERT??? You just don't call people GILBERT...). From the second Diana talked about him, I knew 'that's Anne's soulmate'. My heart totally ached for Anne when I saw Diana making other friends and looking wistfully at 'her bosom friend...10 out of 10, EXCELLENT.
