Read this first as a young girl and it is the book that made me fall in love with reading. Have read it many times since and averytime, I find something I missed before. Excellent story better than the classic movie and that is saying something. The classic tale by Margaret Mitchell that inspired the epic film. I re-read this every few years because it is full of characters, events and locales that are so fully realized and beautifully drawn that you can't help but feel the breeze and taste the barbecue at Twelve Oaks and feel the heat and scalding smoke as Atlanta burns. I personally love her, but Scarlett will be for some a hard character to like, even easier to hate, but no matter what most will respect her strength and willingness to do what she deems necessary to follow her heart and convictions. I keep going back to this book, reading it over and over - probably at least twice a year. No question - I absolutely LOVE it! 0.044 seconds to build listing
Amazon.com (ISBN 0446365386, Mass Market Paperback)Sometimes only remembered for the epic motion picture and "Frankly ... I don't give a damn," Gone with the Wind was initially a compelling and entertaining novel. It was the sweeping story of tangled passions and the rare courage of a group of people in Atlanta during the time of Civil War that brought those cinematic scenes to life. The reason the movie became so popular was the strength of its characters--Scarlett O'Hara, Rhett Butler, and Ashley Wilkes--all created here by the deft hand of Margaret Mitchell, in this, her first novel.(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:12 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
