I love Anne of Green Gables and was so excited to learn that the Continuing Story was being aired on TV. Unfortunately, Anne: The Sequel strayed so much from the original book that the Continuing Story was nothing but a total let down. The entire story line was fabricated and it lacked the magic and charm of Anne that was captured in the first two TV movies. If you really want to see how the story of Anne ends, read the series! And read the series to your children when you a mother someday. It will be a much richer experience than bothering with the Continuing Story - it just swept all of the magic away and left me very disappointed.
