Sweet story of the Blythe children and their friends. I love all the cute little anecdotes about the mischief they get into. Something of note is that there is a bit of racist language.

Anne Shirley is one of my favorite characters of all time, and Anne of Green Gables is a book that I can read over and over again and love it every time. But the more I read of the series, the less I enjoy it. In the later books, Anne loses most of her personality and instead becomes this bland ideal wife and mother. This was my least favorite of the Anne books - because Anne doesn't really appear in this book. Instead, Rainbow Valley follows the Meredith siblings, who are friends with the Blythe children. I think I would have enjoyed this a lot more had it been a stand-alone. Rainbow Valley is a really sweet story and had a lot of the elements that I enjoyed in Anne of Green Gables. But because this was technically one of the Anne books, I was hoping to see a lot more of Anne than we got.

Buku ini punya bagian yang menyebalkan dan bagian yang bagus. Bagian menyebalkannya, misalnya, komunitas tempat Anne dan keluarganya, juga keluarga Meredith tinggal. Komunitas yang taat pergi ke gereja dan punya moral code yang strict tapi tetep suka gosipin keburukan tetangga, apalagi ketika korbannya anak-anak yang dianggap "nakal" padahal anak-anak itu
