Rating: Summary: THE B-E-S-T BOOK OF ALL TIME! Review: Gone with the Wind is the most amazing novel ever! I read it in 8th grade for a school project and was so engrossed all 1,024 pages took me just two weeks! Living in the "North", I had never really thought about how hard it was for the "South" because I assumed they brought it on themselves. This book really opened my eyes and I'm glad it did. I love it so much that this year ... I read it again, just for fun, during the school year and it only took me two weeks again!! I highly recomend this novel to anyone and everyone in the world!
Rating: Summary: A must read for anybody! Review: We have all read the unbearably dull classics in high school, which only makes us wonder why people love it so much. However, not only is this book interesting and not difficult to read, it is impossible to hate.This is the story of Scarlett,a young woman desperately in love with a man already married to another woman. Determined to win his heart, she goes through anything for even a blink of an eyelash from him. She is perhaps the best female protagonist ever. She shows a strength and aggressive attitude unheard of from women in that time period (civil war). Don't pass this novel up, and don't let the 1000+ pages turn you away. You'll never know what you missed.
Rating: Summary: Go Sherman! Review: I use to feel bad about Sherman burning Atlanta, but that was before I read this book. Though it is a very well written book it is very offensive to; African Americans, women and of course Yankees.
Rating: Summary: Finest Novel Ever Written Review: Or at least finest I've come across. Perfect in every respect. Demands to be read from cover to cover as quickly as possible. A finer contemporary drama you will not find.
Rating: Summary: One of the Best books I have ever read Review: I read it when I was 11 and I could hardly put it down, it took me 5 days to read this amazing book. Sure there is a dead spot in the middle and it gets a little depressing, but it is worth the read. I recommend this book to anyone who likes civil war romance.
Rating: Summary: No Love Story? Review: I am not sure how anyone can read the book and not see the love story. It may come near the end, but yes it is there. Gone With the Wind is one of the best books ever written. It incorporates action, romance, drama... I often find myself using silly facts that you learn from the book. Gone With the Wind gives the modern public a look at what life was like for a Southern plantation owner during the Civil War, and no book will ever challenge the status Gone with the Wind has achieved.
Rating: Summary: great book. . . where's the love story? Review: I loved this book. Very dramatic, great story. However, not having ever seen the movie or read the book, I was expecting a love story. Isn't it called the best love story of our time? They never fell in love! However disappointed, the book was great, well written, a great story. . . not a love story.
Rating: Summary: A Masterpiece Review: I read Gone with the Wind last summer and could not put it down...and then I read it again. I've read many great books in the classic genre, but none have been able to captivate me as Gone with the Wind has. Mitchell paints her characters so vivdly that as you read about their hardships during the Civil War and Reconstruction you just want to cry. Gone with the Wind is truly one of the best books ever written.
Rating: Summary: The Book is Better than the Movie Review: Let yourself get lost in Atlanta with the characters of Gone With the Wind. You'll yearn for a sequal. If you've seen the movie, you've really seen a different story that what you'll find in the book.
Rating: Summary: GONE WITH THE.....BOOK!!!!!!!! Review: This is by far the best book I have ever read!! I loved Ms. Mitchell's vivid descriptions and her enchanting characters. You just can't go wrong buying this book!!!
