I read this book more for the "fun" facts about the author, book, movie, and actors of Gone with the Wind. I felt at times the author of this book went too much into her own life, which to be honest, is not what I picked up this bok for. I'm happy that the author did consider and write about the book instead of just the movie, that was a bonus. Overall, I'm glad I read the book however not the best book on Gone with the Wind.

The language can be overly scholarly and academic, but it's Gone with the Wind, so it's interesting to me. If you are as interested in GWTW as I am, I recommend Margaret Mitchell's personal letters that have been collected.

I'd really like to rate this 3.5. There were parts that were a lot of fun--really brought back all the memories of my mom letting me stay up when they reran GWTW on TV, we'd eat popcorn and cry and laugh and have a terrific time every year. Haskell does a basically good job, until the last two pages when she decides that Sarah Palin is some kind of wicked vamp archetype. ????? Lots of details on the movie that I didn't know about, and some biographical info on M. Mitchell. Nice, fun easy nonfiction read to give my brain a rest during my very challenging fiction book of the moment. :-)
