Summary: The absolute, without a doubt, best book I have ever read!!!
Review: I love "Gone With the Wind". When I was 14 my mother handed me the book and said it was the best book she had ever read. I looked at the size of the book and thought there was no way I would ever get through it. One day I began reading and I just couldn't stop. I was sad when I had finished it and asked myself the same question everyone does; what happend next? I gave the book to my best friend. She thought I was stupid, but since she had nothing better to do she read it. She soon learned I really wasn't stupid.

Summary: You too will be swept away
Review: Visit a time when women were "hoop-skirted" ladies and men treated them with charming, exaggerated kindness and respect. Take a ride in a horse carriage to a ball, and there be introduced to some of the most memorable people you'll ever meet. I'm refering to the exciting experience of Gone With The Wind. Nothing you ever read will captivate, motivate, affect, or teach you more. The characters are so real that they become part of your life, they change your life. Scarlett O'hara is the most beautiful, unforgettable heroine of any novel. Spoiled and self-centered, but there's still no denying that she's a very intelligent, strong person. You get to know Scarlett so well that she becomes part of you, and she even changes how you view yourself and your life. You fall in love with dashing, dark, handsome, mysterious, yet, charming Mr. Rhett Butler. Not to exclude the other wonderful personalities of Ashley Wilkes, sweet Melanie, Aunt Pitty Pat, and certainly not excluding Mammy. Witness the horror of the Civil War, and learn the truth about the Old South. While also learnig about love, life, and the exciting unpredictablities of both. I love, adore, and cherish GWTW! If you've read I'm certain you fell the same. If you haven't read GWTW I could cry for you! You are missing out on the chance of a lifetime, truly! You simply must read it!

Summary: Truly the greatest novel ever written.
Review: Margaret Mitchell's epic novel "Gone With The Wind" defies all ratings. It deserves far more than a mere ten. I read this book when I was 13 years old, and discovered the most unforgettable story with the most vibrant, LIVING characters ever written. To me, Scarlett O'Hara, Rhett Butler, Melanie Wilkes, and all the others are truly real people. The movie "Gone With The Wind" is undoubtedly the greatest film ever made, which it could hardly help being with such a story to work from. This book can and should be read by anyone who loves to read, because it is simply too good to miss.

Summary: You don't read "Gone with the Wind", you live it
Review: This book is possibly the greatest piece of literature I have ever set my eyes upon. Although it took me about two weeks to read it, I lived through a decade of history and watched as Scarlett O'Hara struggled against and won over every adversity in the midst of the Civil War. I felt as though I were right there watching as the drama played out before me. Never before have I had such a complete and accurate view of history and been fooled so completely into thinking that characters on the page were real people that actually lived. If one does not read this book, then it is a complete loss to him or her for they have passed up the chance to experience, rather than read, a book

Rating:
Summary: Best Novel ever.
Review: I could go on and on about how good the book is like everyone else does. I am not it is without a doubt the best novel ever. even if you do not like the Civil War the love story sweeps you for decades and decades to come

Summary: Indescribable, captivating to the last page
Review: GWTW has been my favorite book for a very long time. I just turned fourteen and I read it in fifth grade. For as long as I could remember, my sister had been talking about this book and how it had altered her opinion on classic literature. So, in fifth grade, i saw the movie, adored it got a hold of the book and read it to the very end. Even now, my parents remark about my "Gone With the Wind Period" when I thought of nothing but GWTW and read everything I could on the subject. I ordered cards, I got the script to the movie, I even read the biographys, letters and pictures of Margaret Mitchell. It's a awsome movie, a brilliant novel, and, to sum things up, probably the most influential book/movie of my childhood, it helped make me into the person I am today.---Cynthia Christina Vanci

Summary: I am shocked.
Review: I am only twelve years old, and most people my age aren't at all interested in love stories. I am always interested in a good book, and most of my picks are action or mystery. I have read hundreds of books in my life so far, some of them poorly written, some of them average, but many of them incredible. These books have captured my imagination, but Gone With the Wind took my soul. I almost made a new lake out of my tears when Melanie died. And I loved Mammy! She added some of the funniest parts to a book I have ever had the honor to read. I am still wondering how she'll ever get Rhett back after what happened. I haven't read the sequal yet but I intend to do so. In fact, I am trying to order it from Amazon.com as soon as possible. I don't care if dozens of people didn't like the sequal. I HAVE GOT TO KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT IN THE STORY! That's also one of GWTW's strong points. Most people won't read more than the first chapter, but if you decide to go the extra mile (or two) you will find yourself dodging bullets in Sherman's seige of Atlanta. If there is one weakness to it, it's in the movie itself. It followed closely to the story line, but strangely the guys making it forgot about little Wade and Ella, and almost forgot Will entirely. But even worse, they got Mr. O'hara's death completely mixed up. And some of the guys that they got to play the beaux didn't know the first thing about acting. Charles Hamilton may have been an idiot, but surely he wasn't that dumb! Sorry, I'm getting to into the movie (I just finished watching it for the first time today). Still, despite the movie's sad mistakes, Gone With the Wind has swept this twelve year old boy off is feet and into the civil war in Atlanta! This isn't a rental book. This is a buying book

Summary: The Greatest Book Written
Review: Being raised in the south myself, I feel a kinship to Scarlett O'Hara. Margaret Mitchell's book has keep me captivated since I was a child. GWTW was one of the first book reports I gave in jr. high school. The teacher couldn't believe that someone of my age could have read such a book. Although it took close to a week to read it, GWTW has stayed in my mind and heart in all the years that have followed. No book has made the impression that this one has made on me. I don't believe there is one that could. The first copy of this book I ever got has long since had the ink rubbed from its pages. It was well worth the time that is takes to read it. It is TRULY a classic

Summary: Best book ever
Review: Gone With the Wind is a really really good book I would have never read it if my teacher had not made me do so. It seemed almost real because is was so deep

Summary: Where's Rhett??
Review: I have read this many times, and love it better every time. Rhett Butler was my first love ever, thanks to Margaret Mitchell. I still have a little crush on him. She made the characters so real that I feel like I grew up knowing them as my friends
