Customer Reviews

Not bad for what it is

I think the previous reviews for this book are a bit harsh. I purchased this book when it was originally released. I was in my early teens at the time, and as a younger reader with no prior knowledge of Lucy Maud Montgomery's biography, I enjoyed it for the basic information it provided. Having reread it recently, I can say that while it may be too brief to satisfy adult readers, it nonetheless stands up as a concise character sketch. Readers looking for more detail may want to look elsewhere to the numerous fine studies available on LMM and her work, but for the YA audience for which it was intended, I think this book is a solid introduction to the life of a brilliant author.
