Gone with the Wind was a well written book, but it wasn’t very enjoyable. Almost none of the characters were likeable, and it was way longer than it needed to be.

Worth reading? Probably. American literature and all that. 

As racist as I expected it to be? More so. Standard white savior stuff mixed with just about every stereotype you could possibly imagine. 

Better than the weird nonsense in the thornbirds, my comparison for all trashy epics. No. I'd rather read that again 10000 times than read this ever again.
