good book, not good show

It's a shame that people will see the t.v series and think that what happened there, in the show, is what happened in the book. The sub-stories with-in the books (there were 3 books in total) and the characters are so different and so much better in the book trilogy. The makers of the show for some reason did the book a dishonesty by making the series trashy and more adult oriented than it was meant to be. Lucy M. Montgomery wrote those as children books. Yes, the books were somewhat darker than the Anne of Green Gables and Road to Avonlea but they were still well written and very enjoyable. Please don't follow the show, read the books instead.
