Rating: Summary: AWESOME! A MUST READ :) Review: This was the best book I read in a while. Even though it is long, it is a beautiful love story of Scarlett O'Hare and Rhett Butler. It is a learning experience for all readers. A must read! I can't wait to read Scarlett: The Sequel!
Rating: Summary: This is and always will be my all-time favorite novel! Review: I first read GWTW, when I was just a kid and fell in love with it from the first line. No other book has come close to how I feel about this novel (save for Pride and Prejudice, Persuasion and Rebecca all running close seconds!)If you have only seen the movie version of this book, please do yourself a huge favor and read the book. It is amazing! Scarlett has so much more depth as a person than the way she is portrayed in the movie (Vivien Leigh was a perfect Scarlett don't get me wrong) You will come to understand her motives completely if you just read the Book! Apparently I cannot stress this enough. This is just the best book ever written!
Rating: Summary: I was disappointed Review: I was a little disappointed with this hyped-up book. Melly was all good and Scarlett all bad. This plot is good, but I think Margaret Mitchell did not develop the characters as much as she could have. Humans are not either good or bad, everyone has a bit of both in them. However, I could not put it down, and it is such an epic story of American history that I would recommend it, just don't expect it to be as great as it is said to be.
Rating: Summary: great Review: Ok, here's the deal. This book was great. I mean GREAT! I read it in 6th grade. The whole thing was so, so, so wonderful! I luved every bit of it, Except for.....the end. I hated the end! Why did she just leave us hanging? I mean Tomorrow everything will be alright? What kind of ending is that? So I had to get Scarlett. I luved Scarlett too. And I was glad that there was actually an ending, but the ending was kind of boring.
Rating: Summary: Captivating Review: This book was beautifully written, and had just the right amount of romance, action, drama, and loneliness that it became a captivating novel. I could not put this one down. It is unforgetable.
Rating: Summary: The best book ever. Period. Review: My title says it all. I have read this book 27 total in 2 years. It is truly the best book ever written.
Rating: Summary: Gone With the Wind Rules! Review: Gone With the Wind is the best book I've ever read! It is breathtaking and thrilling. It describes the civil war along with Scarlett's life during it. It is a really wonderful book that takes you back in time. I loved this book. I am only 13, and I think anyone my age should read this book, because it rocks. It is sad, but still its the best. Read it, and I know you'll love it
Rating: Summary: Best Review: Best book of all time. Period.
Rating: Summary: It was a really exciting book!! Review: "Gone With the Wind" was one of the most exciting books the I have ever read. I really like the part when Ashley all of a sudden has feelings for her. But, the best part about the book is how I could not put the book down. I first read the book 5 years ago when I was in the fifth grade, but then I re-read it last year. I understood it even more. I am now trying to give it to people so that they can read it. It is also one of my favorite books. I recommend this book to anybody, male or female, young or old. So enjoy "Gone With the Wind".
Rating: Summary: One of the best US novels Review: I noticed that there are no Arabs casting their opinions, so i am glad to give you mine. When i was 14, my father gave me a special edition for the youth, and told me:" read this book, you will enjoy it". Well, ladies and gentelmen i started reading it in Thursday afternoon, and i didn't put it untill Friday night. The book is simply wonderfull, and later when i was growing up (i am 28 now) i read the full version two more times, and some passages ( especially the first encounter between Scarlet and Rhett at the library)countless times. I think the strength of the book lies in its strong and very believble characters ( although i think there is little exaggeration in the power and charm of Rhett). The supporting characters are very believble as well, and although you might think that there is huge diffrence between USA and the Arab world, but the truth is we are people, and apart from few diffrences, the basic emotions, and behaviour are almost the same, that is why the book has such an enourmous success in all the world and with all ages and throughout its history. And as one of the reviewr pointed, that each country knew some major changes to its society, another reason why the book was a huge success. As for the romantic story, it is very powerfull as well. Finally, i would like to say, that i am almost Copy of Ashely Wilkes( without the skill of riding ..lol), and usualy i like the types of Melanie, but you can't help your self and admire Scarlett as a fiction heroine, although i doubt very much i would like her if i met her. I personaly strongly recommend this book.BUT i would like to make a warning for everyone thinking of reading the sequell, because the sequell is no more than a litreature piracy in my opinion, and it is a pure rubbish, and you can better buy a cheap romantic novel insted. I woul love if someone sent me an e mail.
