Rating: Summary: The best in this century Review: I simply love this book! I read it when I was 14.Its still the best I've ever read.I'm now 45. The film was good (seen it more than 5 times) but the book is even better. The sequel was a disappointment, the film Scarlet even worse. Nobody could ever write and feel like Margaret Mitchell.
Rating: Summary: Hooks you in like no other book... Review: One of the richest books I have ever read. The story completely snares you until the last page, and even when you've finished you will find yourself thinking about it. For anyone who wants an explosion of a story and an outstanding mixture of characters, this novel will always be amoung the top suggestions...
Rating: Summary: STILL THE BEST 25 YEARS LATER!!! Review: I first read this book at age 13 only cause it was required reading for an English class. I ended up reading all night and was wiped the next day in school. It's impossible to put down.
Now 25 years and many thousands of books later it is still my favorite book. I get so mad at Scarlett, we should all be so lucky to find a Rhett and she doesn't appreciate him! Still makes me cry.
Rating: Summary: Scarlett and Rhett make the best couple !!! Review: I think "Gone with the Wind" was a great book. I liked the book better than the movie. The book went into more detail than the movie. I wish Scarlett would have waited for Rhett when he was in jail though. I wish Scarlett would have just admitted to Rhett that she loved him sooner. I think Ashley was kind of a wimp, and I did not understand why Scarlett had wanted Ashley when she had a man like Rhett who wanted her. I was glad when she tried to get him back at the end and I can't wait to get the sequel.
Rating: Summary: CLASSIC!!-- BEST book I've ever read! Review: I'm 16, just finnished it, the only regret I have is not reading it sooner. Mitchell did a beautiful job. I became so swept up into the story I couldn't put it down for a second. It's almost like be there, back in the 1800's, during the civil war. You feel the characters, there joy, there pain. The movie wasn't that great! I look forward to reading the sequal. I highly recomend this book, you won't be sorry after reading it.
Rating: Summary: The best book I've ever read Review: If you've seen the movie but haven't read the book you have to. It gives you a totally different idea on some things than the movie does. The sequel is ok but nothing could be as good as the orginal!
Rating: Summary: Gone With the Wind is the best book I've ever read! Review: During the past summer I read a tremendous novel, Gone With the Wind. Margret Mitchell is an amazing author even by picking up the dilect of Mammy and the slaves. Even though I'm not American and don't study their history I understood and learned a lot from this book. This book is comedic, dramatic, exciting and filled with romance. The friends/foes/lovers relationship between Rhett and Scarlett is unforgettable. I found this to be a truly inspirational book, how to treat people properly and how to be a true friend and lover. This book is amazing , I couldn't put it down and I finished it in only 3 days. I am also starting to read the sequel "Scarlett" by Alexandra Riply. I give this book 5 stars! ***** Jenn
Rating: Summary: -u'll find the story tedious if u'r forced to read it.- Review: At times the book vvas tedious and i had the urge to skip pages, vvhich i did. i felt that at parts she dragged the story out too much; parts vvhere she used a page or tvvo to describe vvhat the day looked like or vvhat furnishings vvere contained in a room; these vveren't necessary. i like to knovv the setting of the story, but a vvhole page dedicated to descriptions? hmm... Despite this i really enjoyed the story. it offered a different point of vievv of the civil vvar. the pros and cons of slavery. it vvas interesting. i found that i liked the characters: scarlett and rhett..*smiles* they vvere memorable. very endearing characters. It vvas a romance story that rather sticks in my mind. the story vvas about scarlett and her life..yeha it sounds boring and at times it vvas but...read it. you might like it. just give it a try (read the vvhole book) and then decide if u like it or not. but don't read the story if the only reason is because someone or you yourself forced you to read it. u'll probably hate it if u do. Someday vvhen i've forgotten most of the details of the book i might reread it, but for novv i'll go back to my vampire chronicles. enjoy
Rating: Summary: The Greatest Story Ever Told Review: I have reread this book four times in the last year, and everytime I read it, I catch more than the previous time. The love story told compares to that of Romeo and Juliet. The sequencing of events could not be better; it grips you until the last page, and leaves you wondering how Scarlett deals with her personal losses. The intermixing of historical fact and fictional characters is phenomenal. Never again will a novel soar as high as this; it is as popular as the Bible.
Rating: Summary: The Best Book Ever Written Review: I read it for the 1st time at 13 and have read about once every 1 to 2 years since. I have seen the movie countless times as well. Nothing cures depression like "Gone with the Wind". When we lost Margaret Mitchell we lost so much.
