Loading... Scarlett: The Sequel to Margaret Mitchell's Gone with the Wind (1991)by Alexandra Ripley
While my adult memories of this story don't hold up to scrutiny, my high school self was over the moon to discover a happy resolution to the story of Scarlett and Rhett. I remember this book and many of it's plot elements vividly to this day, this book assuaged a deep need to resolve GONE WITH THE WIND in a different way. ( )Just who the hell is so conceited that they think they can write the sequel to one of the best stories ever written? Well, I just couldn't resist reading a sequel to the masterpiece Gone With the Wind. It definitely did not live up to expectations. Face it, some things need to just be left alone. Inherited from Mum's shelves. This book is smut, and it reduces Mitchell's work to all the negative stereotypes of "chic lit." Mitchell's unique, textured voice is lost in the indulgence of Ripley's fantasies. Two thumbs down on this one. no reviews | add a review
