Anne of the Island

redheadperson22 - Warning! This review contains spoilers. I haven't read the book in a few years. It might have not been this particular version, but I've read the book about 3 or 4 times. I really liked it. But there are some things that I really didn't like. For starters, I didn't like the way they portrayed red-heads. I'm a red-head, and I hated the way they made it seem like red-heads were automatically ugly. I also didn't like that Anne thought of her-self as ugly, and no one in the entire book disagreed with her. It wasn't until closer to the end of the book (when her hair was a bit darker and she didn't have as many freckles) that people thought she wasn't as ugly. Other thing I didn't like was that the man (I think his name was Matthew) died. I really liked him, and so did Anne. I don't get why he had to die. I also didn't like the fact that Anne was so obsessed with the way she looked. She even tried to dyed her hair black, but it ended up turning green. I wish she could have just learned to accept herself, instead of always complaining about being ugly. Despite all of it's flaws, overall it was a good book.
