Rating: Summary: Breath taking Review: This is one of the best books that I have ever read when you read this book your heart is going a million miles a minute. One of the main Characters Rhett Butler is the most dashing character I have ever read about.
Rating: Summary: One of the best books ever! Review: This probabaly has to be the best book ever written. Mitchell did a great job on the plot, characters, everything! What she did the best on was the characters. Those were definetly three dimentional characters. When you are done you think that there is no way that this is fiction because Scarlett, Rhett, and everybody seem so real. You also come to like Scarlett because with all her faults, she is still a brave and strong character. Trust me, don't be intimadated by its size. It will probably be the best book you ever read.
Rating: Summary: One of the best books I've read Review: I love the movie Gone With the Wind, so I decided to read the book. I read the whole, 1,000-plus page book in a week! It's every bit as good, if not better. It is much better at explaining history and certain situatuions than the movie. (If you didn't understand the buisiness about the attack at Shantytown in the movei, read the book for a better understanding.) Margaret Mitchell also gives vivid, loving descriptions of the Old South, though I had to skim most of them so they wouldn't slow me down! She also gives vivid characterizations of all the main characters and quite a few more who weren't in the movie. The story is very enthralling and never boring. I definitly recommend it.
Rating: Summary: Its a most incredible book. Review: Its an unforgettable experience. When i read this book, i was not aware of any hype about this book. I just remeber the day i read this book in the library, back in India. Its a sunny morning. I just picked this book from the reference section, as i was waiting for some card or something, and started reading it. It was 7 in the morning, Few minutes would have gone,i think becuse, i have shifted myself a little. Suddenly somebody tapped me on the shoulder. Its the librarian. She said its 10 at night ans she is closing the library. She allowed me to take the book with me and I read it on and on until 8 in the morning, which was when i finished it. For 24 hours without food and sleep, without even a silghtest glance away from the book.Wahw Its truely an incredible experience.For one whole day i was beside the Scarlett, mind and soul.It is at that moment, i decided if Americans are down to earth as those characters, then it should not be very bad place and i came to America. After i came here and what i found, Its totally different story!!!
Rating: Summary: The greatest book I've ever read! Review: I read this amazing novel approximately two years ago, since then I have read it several more times. It only took me about one week to read, I was so wrapped up in it that I put off homework to read it, I simply couldn't put it down. Believe me I don't read anything that fervently, other than Gone With the Wind. It is so descriptive, it wraps you up in this amazing story of love lost and lives, wasted on petty things. I personaly felt for the characters, being a hellraiser myself, I truely felt for Scarlett's plight and pain. I think that if you are a person who can be unaffected by all the media hype put into things, and just read this book you will be swept away by it's dazzling imagry and depiction of life and love and loss.
Rating: Summary: What is the big deal? Review: I...wasted about two months reading this book. I STARTED reading it because it is so talked about I figured I should. I came to the conclusion that I should spend my time reading books I find entertaining. I don't see how anyone could possibly find this book entertaining. The three stars I gave it are because it is a well written book, and I figure, hey any book with this kind of a reputation deserves something. One note, what about this son of Rhett's? Did Margaret Mitchell just forget to tell us the background on him? Obviously there is a big story behind that...all I can figure is that he is the child of Belle Watling, as the book never really did say why he got involved with her in the first place. I dont feel like reading a sequel that wasnt even written by Margaret Mitchell to find out what happens... Anyway, a well written book and I accomplished my purpose...to be able to say that I have read Gone With the Wind. Other than that I didn't get a whole heck of a lot out of it.
Rating: Summary: OVERRATED! Review: Ugh -- By the end of this book, you're going to want to slap Scarlett silly. I'm angry that I wasted the past month of my life reading this book. Mitchell must have been getting paid by the word because she goes on and on and on about nothing. This book could have easily been 600 or 700 pages shorter. The romance between Rhett and Scarlett is not believable. A cold, drab book. Save yourself the agony: rent the movie.
Rating: Summary: What I thought about the book Review: I am turning 13 now, and I first read this book when I was only 11 years old. It took me a while, but it was worth it. Gone With the Wind is the best book I have ever read so far! I loved it so much. It was very interesting, and I couldn't put it down. At some really exciting parts, I felt almost as if I were in it. This book was definitly the best book I have ever read and I recommend it to anybody.
Rating: Summary: a southern named who step on people to get what she wanted Review: Gone with the wind was a story about a sothern girl who live in the southern part of the united states. The story tells how her life was before, during and after the civil war, She started as a bratty teenager who turn into a heartless woman,who hurt her sister and push a way a man who turly loved her. She let moeny take over her mind and soul. The stroy also goes on to tell how the civil war had on the south part of the united states.. this is a good book to read.
Rating: Summary: a book that will stay with you always (an all time clasic) Review: one of the clasics and most loved books. my mom's favorite (and now mine!) she forced me to read it to improove my english and after a while i loved it! the story is sooo great, the characters are very interesting and are beautifuly descripted (as everything in this book- situations, etc.) if you liked the movie you'll love the book! Mitchell has done a great job! i can't describe the filling of reading it! it truly carries you away for a while! you think you're actualy there. it's a wonderful book!!!
