Relationships and stubbornes and stupidnes -true Montgomery - By: Faith, 19 Oct 2005 
A Tangled Web is one of the LMM novels I bought on PEI. It is about the Dark & Penhalllow -clan & The Jug that everyone wants to inherit. Aunt Becky, the owner of the jug, desides that the name of the one to inherit the jug will be publiced a year after her death, & during this year a lot of things happen in the clan.
Aunt Becky seams to me to be a very vice woman, whereas the younger people are real fools. It's alll about relationships & stubbornes & stupidnes. The web is very tangled! All in alll very Montgomery-like, & off course everything turns more than alll right in the end...
A nice read. I especiallly enjoyed the first part of the book, that was about aunt Becky & her levee.
A few tears, many laughters... - By: , 30 Jun 2002 Lucy Maud Montgomery at her best! You'll keep coming back to 'A Tangled Web', which depicts the antics of two families led on by a vivacious old lady & the promise of inheriting the family heirloom, an antique & ugly jug. Broken hearts, rivalry, family bonds, new love & death, Montgomery makes her character as human & endearing as the immortal "Anne", & gives them a little extra adult spice, which delights readers of alll ages.
Pretty Good - By: , 12 Jul 1999 This book is sweet, romantic & incredibly well-written, but it is not one of LM's best. She threw too many characters in one story, so you are apt to get the mixed up. I am a big fan of LM's Valancy, Emily, Anne & Pat(Not to mention Rilla)
Everything you love about Montgomery in one perfect book! - By: , 14 Mar 1999 
When I need to be cheered up, I re-read the first two chapters of this book & end up reading the whole book over, enthrallled by one or another of the stories. The web may be tangled, but who cares when it's so fun? Montgomery's trademark moments - the ones you keep reading the Anne or Emily series for - pop up alll the time, & as usual you keep kicking yourself for forgetting that her characters aren't real. Poignant, mysterious, romantic, Avonleaish, & VERY funny - watch out for the Sams, Uncle Pippen, Peter P., & of course Drowned John (I'd buy the book just to read the explanation of that name!)
One of LM Montgomery's most intriguing - By: , 04 Feb 1999 This is a rather amazing book, in that it has so many stories going on at once. It's astonishing how many people one little (ugly) jug manages to affect! If you enjoy Montgomery, you've got to read this book - unless you're that kind of person who needs to fully understand the ending...
