Reviews for Dora of the Island
Dead Turtle chapter 3 . 11/3/2015
Oh my, this is so sweet! Dora is so adorable!

I've always liked Dora too so I was glad someone was finally writing her story. I think maybe you should be a little clearer in your writing voice. Sometimes I was not sure who was in the spotlight. It would be nice to have a scene with Anne and Dora together. Maybe Dora having a problem and Anne comforts her? Overall, you are doing a good job!

Hmm, intruiging. I agree that Dora was very much underappreciated, and I love seeing a story just about her.

Well, it's a very good fanfiction about Dora. I want some more.

Please read and re-view my FF too. You can translate it in english, if you can and want.
Victoria Splinters chapter 2 . 8/8/2006
This story is very interesting. You were right about jumping around. It is now a year later, with no explanation of it being a year later. Unless I actually read the book, I would probably think it was that very same autumn. Also, Minnie May would be 9 this year, not 11. But I like that Dora has friends in this story, even though it would have been nice for her and Minnie May to continue their older sisters', Anne and Diana's, friendship. Oh well, it looks like Minnie May is the younger version of Josie or Ruby.
Victoria Splinters chapter 1 . 8/8/2006
Very good and interesting. My only nitpick is that Davy and Dora's mother is alive and in need of cheering up in the first paragraph, and then in need of a funeral by the time Marilla is done talking to the twins. When did she die? I've read the book of course, so it is expected that she dies, but if someone has not read "Anne of Avonlea" it might be confusing to mention a funeral without the twins ever finding out their mother died. Although, maybe the twins don't realize what's happened, as they seem quite well adjusted.

I like your characterization of Dora, which matches my imagination very well: practical, obedient, yet not without her interesting points. However, some more details would probably make the story better.
Elmire chapter 2 . 9/18/2005
Wow!

The way you are writting this story is... fantastic! I really like your fic about Dora, because it's true that we don't know much about her, beeing a very shy and quiet character. And it's true that in the book, we see her like a little bit of a boring character, but she can't be all boring, and must have some felings... And, that is the point of view that you are describing ver well here!

Continue in that way!

P.S: Sorry if I have some error in english, english is my second language... I'm french-canadian...

This was a great 2nd chapter. I'm liking Dora a lot. I always felt that there was more to Dora than meets the eye. Looking forward to more of our delightful story!
Annabelle Marie chapter 2 . 9/15/2005
I like this chapter. I love how you're writing about the ones that aren't written about much in the books. Can't wait to see what comes next.
Writing Epistles chapter 2 . 9/15/2005
This is turning out to be one of the most wonderful new pieces that I've seen in a while.
r6144 chapter 2 . 9/15/2005
It is really good! You have portrayed the very Dora that I like, and the school scenes are also quite realistic. Please remember to update!
ElouiseBates chapter 2 . 9/15/2005
I tend to be a stickler for canon, but where you've departed from the original storyline you've still managed to make it believeable and readable. Emerald seems like a fun character; I hope you develop more of the friendship between her and Dora. You have a very good writing style, and I look forward to the rest of the story!
