Anne and Marilla foster a pair of twins, but only the boy gets any kind of narrative attention. The girl is just quiet and boring, while the boy is annoying and his pranks and mishaps take up about half of the book. I much prefer when Anne has mishaps.
The solutions to life's problems as presented in this book are
Very unsubtle Anne and Gilbert parallels for those first two I dare say. I wish instead we got to see more of what Gilbert is like, because I did enjoy his rare appearances very much.

I think what took the most away from the story in this book was the entire storyline of Davy. I didn't find him interesting or compelling, and it made me sad how much space he was given and how little his twin sister got.
