Mostly relaxing except for the car accident and the death of her sister in chapter 9 and the mental effects it had on her. Also chapter 12 with the cancer diagnosis.Last chpts are such a downer.

dark emotional hopeful sad tense

2.0

It's sad and depressing and quite dark for the first eight and a half chapters. It doesn't get cozy as one would expect with Mr. Warbucks and Annie spending time together, it goes into other plot parts that are political and Mrs Hannigan's brother wanting to pretend that he is Annie's parent for the reward money.The heartwarming moments were too few,it wasn't relaxing at least the audiobook version, due to Annie shouting "Oh boy" or "oh daddy" all the time.The good parts in the ending were rushed. The narrator was pretty bad and about acceptable when put through an EQ to reduce the shrill voice. I skipped a few chapters because it was just so depressing and sad.Passed the time,but definitely not a book I'd read again,it had too few moments of Annie and the other orphans discovering new things like going to the movies...

adventurous funny hopeful lighthearted
A sweet story about a donkey and a magical garden gnome. Unfortunately, the audiobook version is not as relaxing as the print one because whenever there is dialogue the volume goes right up as if the person is shouting.
