starsal 's review for:
Gone with the Wind
by Margaret Mitchell
I was really surprised that I loved this book as much as I did. I remember trying to read it back in high school and not getting very far, mainly because I couldn't stand Scarlett. I still can't stand Scarlett, but I'm older and more empathetic now, so I could at least understand where she was coming from.
What made the book for me were the characters. Mitchell did an outstanding job of creating characters that were believable and three-dimensional. There is no "hero;" everyone has their flaws, but you only love the characters more for them.
But the main reason this book got five stars rather than four was Rhett Butler. He's one of the most complex, enjoyable-to-read about characters I've ever encountered in fiction.
