Title: Wow, not what I expected from L. M. Montgomery
Product review: I was surprised to discover how dismal this series is, especially as it seems written for children. As other reviewers have mentioned, Emily sees her dead mother all the time. In the first episode, she endures an unfair beating from her school master for supporting an Indian child, whom the teacher says is worthless and verminous. To top this off, the beginning of the series is confusing (why are Emily and her parents clinging to a sea cliff and crying? Then, all of a sudden, they are in a cemetery and Emily's mother is dead). The acting is very poor. I am frankly puzzled by the 5 star reviews.I am not a parent--if I was, I would not expose my children to this series.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
