Such an infuriating book. I loved the parts about the war and dealing with poverty and Scarlett's selfish evolution, but holy cow this book is racist and sexist.
I love it.
I really liked Scarlett.
She was a lame,wicked,kind,crazy,rash,lovely and strong lady.
Her character is just mind blowing.
I really liked the story it kept me interested and excited.

I need to process it a bit longer to review properly.

Any book that can make me cry, laugh, and utterly bewilder me is a great read. I don't get tired of this epic drama. It is a glimpse into another time and practically another planet. It is a story of pride and resilience when the world they knew came tumbling down around them. Different characters had different reactions to war, heartache, grief, and reconstruction.
Don’t have to read it for class anymore IM FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Despite the length, this book gives not only a story of resilience and progress, but also changed my perspective on a ton of American history. I think after reading, it gave me so much more of an understanding of why our country is the way that it is now.
DNF at 77%. I listened to 38 hours of this audiobook and now I need botox to get rid of my frown lines.
Scarlett is manipulative, hateful, bigoted, "shallow and shrewd", and racism and hypocrisy are rampant. I hoped this was satirical or attempting an accurate representation of racial views of Southern whites during and after the civil war, but the slaves and freed Black folks are depicted as monsters, or at best loyal idiots who call themselves Confederates, and it gets worse as the book goes on. I know this was written in the '30s but there is no way the author could have encountered a Black person even once in her life and written them all this way.
I just couldn't listen to one more cringe-inducing second.
