Review title: Hopelessly Watered Down
Product review: If you want a very safe book that will not challenge anyone to learn new words or appreciate a style of writing that differs from today's, this is the one for you. The series divides L. M. Montgomery's The Story Girl into four short, simple volumes, all lacking the charm of the original.The Story Girl is not my favorite of Montgomery's novels, but it was one of her favorites; and as a reader of her journals, I can imagine her outrage at this simplified version that carefully removes all humor and substance. The new adaptation reduces the story to nearly nothing and the characters to stick-figures. Montgomery's novels could introduce today's readers to a different writing style, to new phrases and speech patterns; but this author ensures that will not happen. I give it one star because it is a clean book that at least introduces L. M. Montgomery's name; but if you want an enjoyable reading experience, stick to the original.
