it was perfect! & fast shipping!
after my dog ate my moms copy I never thought I'd get another one just like it! Thanks!
I had a hard time with this book.
It started very slow for me, with Scarlett's fleeting thoughts about her dresses and balls. Then every time it became intriguing the conflict resolved itself, except for the conflict between Scarlett and Rhett which only gradually compounded. The dénouement was poignant and well conceived-- perhaps it's just the romantic in me but I choose to see the end as just the beginning.
Best Book I've ever read
I have read Gone with the Wind at least 10 times. Every time it is read, I find something missed previously. And every time I read it, it means something different to me. It has motivated me to read other books about that era of time and so I have learned a lot about the Civil War era and how important and significant it was for our country's history. I don't feel that the main thrust of the book was romance, but as in most lives, romance occurs some time, and the people of this novel also find some romance. Scarlett moves from one phase of life to the next with a realists mind except when it comes to Ashley Wilkes.
All in all, it is a long book, but one that you won't forget.
