4.0 out of 5 stars A Delightful Coming of Age, May 2 2002
This review is from: Pat Of Silverbush (Paperback)
Although Pat of Silverbush is not L.M. Montgomery's biggest triumph, it performs up to expectations. The story is firmly rooted in reality as it tells the story of Pat Gardiner, her family, and life at Silverbush, Pat's beloved home. The book follows Pat's expansive imagination in her childhood, and then her struggles to accept change as her family changes as she grows older. The book ends when Pat is eighteen, but her story is picked up in Mistress Pat (which I have not yet read). The book does slow down at times, and there are a few predictable events, but overall this is a charming story about a farming family on PE Island that will bring a sigh of contentment out of any reader.

5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite LMM novel so far, Feb 15 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Pat Of Silverbush (Paperback)
I have read the entire Anne series, The Blue Castle, Kilmeny of the Orchard, The Story Girl and The Golden Road...but Pat of Silver Bush touched me in a way that none of the other novels did. The book follows Patricia Gardiner from age seven to age eighteen, but does not seem rushed. There is no complicated plot involving secret identities and there is very little melodrama, in my opinion. Pat of Silver Bush is "character-driven" and realistic. It celebrates the beauty of home and of everyday life. Over and over, the descriptions made me shiver and sigh. The episode in which Pat gets lost after running away from her aunt's house and meets Jingle on the road is wonderful. I sympathized with Pat's fear and with her relief and, finally, with the overwhelming joy she feels when she arrives home and sees the windows all lit up. When Pat stayed out after dark with her friends (or alone) I could almost feel the way the evening air would brush against my cheeks and shoulders if I were out on a summer night on Prince Edward Island. Pat's friendship with Bets is sweet and realistic. It made me think, "Every kid should have at least one really close friend like that." Pat's infatuations with different boys when she is a teenager are also realistic...they reminded me of some of my own experiences, even though I was a teenager in the 1990's! If you are a sensitive person who delights in little pleasures (and if you like a book that will make you cry), read Pat of Silver Bush. The only thing about the book that got annoying at times was Judy's dialect. I think readers can imagine an Irish brogue without constantly seeing it spelled out phonetically. I won't dock my rating any stars for it, though. It can be distracting, but it doesn't really take away from the novel.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Read for Anyone Cherish Memory of Live., Dec 29 1999
This review is from: Pat Of Silverbush (Paperback)
Miss Lucy Maud Montgomery is one of my favorite authors. I love all her works. Among them the 'Pat' stories (including 'Pat of Silverbush' and 'Mistress Pat') are my favorites.

I grew up in a family with beloved parents and three sisters. As time pass by, I am the only child in my family who still remain single and live in 'our home', which is a cozy house with lots of love and memory. Perhaps that is the reason why I was so touched by Pat's story. The joy and loneliness of Pat are so vivid and real to me.

I read with laughers and tears with Pat's story and I believe your will, too. This book is a must-read to anyone who cherish family and memory of live!
