Summary: What a Woman! She was ahead of her time
Review: This novel has it all! Where else can you read about love, honor, tradition and free enterprise? Given that she is a woman with charm, beauty and brain's, it's no wonder that the men in her life naturally "flocked" to her. I have read GWTW several times, and I still find myself more enthralled each time. I admire Scarlett's survival instinct, and her raw ambition. GWTW will forever be a timeless american classic!

Summary: Greatest book and movie ever made!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: This is a timeless movie, people of all ages love it. I love the ending, it makes you use your own imagination on what happens after Rhett leaves. The so-called sequel was the biggest mistake the Maragret Mitchell estate could of ever made. As far as I am concerned, that book was no sequel, but a seperate book altogether. They can say whatever they want about Titanic, but let's see if it can last half as long as GWTW.

Summary: Fantastic, drips with passion and loss.
Review: What can you say about this novel? The prose evokes comparison to Edith Wharton's. The characters live and breathe before you on the page. The setting is set in intimate detail, and it swirls in your mind's eye as you drink in the words. Amazing novel. Scarlett seems much stronger in literature than her flighty character in the film. Once I could escape my preconceived notion of the characters taken from the film, the book became pure joy to read.

Summary: some people should just shut their mouths
Review: some people should just shut their mouths. Gone with the Wind was the best book ever written!!! I read it in a week when i was fifteen and fell in love. I had seen the movie seven times before i had read the book. After i read the book though, i became completely obsessed with Gone With the wind, i bought the book and the movie, and have been hunting for any pictures, quotes and reviews. Gone With the Wind- it's not only one of the best books i have ever read, it's an obsession, it's my life. By the way, to those who thought that Gone with the Wind was a ridiculous read because of the length, they can go and get a brain. Good books have a lot of depth to them, and they need all the extra pages they can get. Gone With the Wind is not all about trash, as an underimaginative few found it. It's not only an overdramatic love story, it's not only another one of those American civil war stories. It's really about the complexity of human emotions, feelings, and the way people handle obstacles and life,consequences of actions and emotions and also about certain people and their mutual understanding of each other. When i finished GWTW for the very first time, i continued to think about the extra depth in that book which i just couldn't understand. I read the book several times more, and also began reading in between the lines. In the end i discovered that Magaret Mitchell was an absolute genius. She was no where near the trashy romance writer many had portrayed her to be- she was a realist. She was actually writing about how human spirit and determination, how it can be applied to help one over such obstacles. For those who say there was no depth to gwtw ought to read the book again. Perhaps they read the book to fast for their own benefits, it's such a shame because it only denotes what shallow and uneducated people they are, not being able to understand truly what an amazing conquest Margaret Mitchell had achieved.

Summary: Scarlett's Strength
Review: Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell is a classic historical fiction novel with vivid descriptions of the Old South and the Civil War. It is from the Confederate's point of view, and the protagonist is Scarlett O'Hara, a headstron, stubborn, and spoiled Southern Belle with deep strength and passion. If Scarlett needs something bad enough, she will not hesitate to throw away proper social conduct or her own personal goals. This strength comes not from within her, but from using the misfortunes of others to her advantage. She is like a child in the sense that she orders people around and always gets her way. The problem in the long run is that this strenth all too often blinds her to the good things and the love that reaches out to her, but she pushes them away, so set in her own ways that she wont even consider other possibilities. Tara is Scarlett's one true love, and she would do anything for it. Scarlett survives the hardships of war as her would falls down around her with only her wit and determination left. She cannot ignore life, nor can she put on a polite mask and act as though there had never been a war. She uses the struggle to rebuild Atlanta to make her start in business. Although Scarlett is a strong and independent woman, most people can relate to her because she makes mistakes like a normal human. This book examines different types of strength. Whether it is Mammy's honorable courage and dignity, or Rhett's keen level-headedness, or Melanie's Christian devotion to people, each person has his or her own root from which they draw their strength. The writing is superb, and the plot is dramatic and sad, but it includes enough of Scarlett's triumphs of strength that sets it apart from all other books. This is a must-read for any person who loves classic literature.

Review: This book touched the hearts of millions, and truly makes us realize the appreciation of life. I found myself so much like Scarlett, that I began to chenge my ways, and learned to be a self-less person. You know how the book always better than the movie? Well, for those of you who saw the film, (probably the best film ever made; it was rated higher than Titanic!), you can imagine how good this book must be!!! Trust me-TAKE MY ADVICE! I AM A FULL TIME READER!!! THIS BOOK IS THE CREAM OF THE CROP!!!!!!!

Summary: Bring up the averages!
Review: I had to add my accolades to those who declare GWTW the great American novel, and weigh the vote beyond the 4+ it currently has. Who are these people giving a novel so rich in in scope, so remakable in the development, so intense you can smell the magnolias, a one? It is the only book I have ever read more than twice. Double or tripple readings are only for those very, very special books, right? If it were not for the movie and the hype, the book would have more respect. GWTW forever!
