Why do people like Anne?

I enjoyed the gentle humour as the grown-ups put up with Anne but when she's young, she's bloody irritating. Very glad I read it before doing the mandatory tour of "her house" which is set out with a large number of references to the book (shattered slates and all).

The book suddenly speeds up in the last quarter and a few years pass, before the conclusion of the book slows down again. Honestly can't guess the tone of the next one.
