Scarlett is well developed and her adventures and misshaps are true to her original character - except she grows up along the way. She has a great heart, a brilliant mind and an admirable work ethic - she can be counted on, and is; much to her disadvantage at times. Highly recommended! (Don't bother with the movie - the book is BEST!) (  ) KateForBooks | Aug 19, 2009 |  Some areas are boring and very slow. (  ) taylorbetty | Aug 19, 2009 | Where to start? When Scarlett goes to visit Rhett's mother we see her trying to act all proper. My opinion is that Scarlett would never stoop to behaving like the women she has always despised. No matter how much she wanted Rhett back. And then why in the world would Scarlett go to Ireland? I understand wanting to move on with your life when all hope may be lost but it didn't make sense. I saw the movie before reading the book. I was disappointed in both. She tried to recreate the Scarlett we remember but I think failed. I don't think I would recommend this unnecessarily long book mostly because I had to force myself to finish it. (  ) JulieQ | Jul 29, 2009 | It was entertaining but obviously paled compared to the original. Nevertheless, for those who can't get enough of GWTW, it provides 800+ more pages of at least some of the world of we fell in love with. (  )1  schmal06 | Jul 10, 2009 | Cannot compare to Margaret Mitchell, but kept me interested. It was so refreshing to finally read what happens with Rhett and Scarlett.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0446502375, Paperback)The timeless tale continues... The most popular and beloved American historical novel ever written, Margaret Mitchell's Gone With the Wind is unparalleled in its portrayal of men and women at once larger than life but as real as ourselves. Now bestselling writer Alexandra Ripley brings us back to Tara and reintroduces us to the characters we remember so well: Rhett, Ashley, Mammy, Suellen, Aunt Pittypat, and, of course, Scarlett. As the classic story, first told over half a century ago, moves forward, the greatest love affair in all fiction is reignited; amidst heartbreak and joy, the endless, consuming passion between Scarlett O'Hara and Rhett Butler reaches its startling culmination. Rich with surprises at every turn and new emotional, breathtaking adventures, Scarlett satisfies our longing to reenter the world of Gone With the Wind, and like its predecessor, Scarlett will find an eternal place in our hearts.(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:16 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
