Gone with the Wind
by Margaret Mitchell
I did it! I have finally achieved my goal of reading Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell! My edition was a whopping 1,048 pages, making this the longest book I have ever read.
Staying quite faithful to the book, the movie is a excellent adaptation. The book is much darker and less sanitized. The n-word is used constantly. The racial tensions and conflicts are more pronounced, and there are even characters with associations to the KKK — quite jarring to read!
It's hard to believe but Scarlett O'Hara is even more spoiled, selfish and insufferable in the book! You learn more about her thoughts and feelings, some that are downright venomous. Despite her faults, I was still drawn to her and somehow sympathized with her at times.
The storylines and the characters are way better developed. As much as I love the movie, I enjoyed the book even more. I highly recommend!
