Gone with the Wind
by Margaret Mitchell
It has been a loooooooooong 13 days. I decided this summer I was going to tackle three big ones...Gone with the Wind, Lonesome Dove and Roots. Reading Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell changed that game plan. Now, I'm going to admit two things...1. I've never seen the movie (but I plan to now that I've read it) and 2. I really, really didn't like this book. Scarlett O'Hara is supposed to be a strong heroine who pulls herself up by the bootstraps following many setbacks as a result of the Civil War. I'm just going to say it...I found her fickle, ruthless and quite frankly heinous. I couldn't even feel sorry for her, I found her so despicable. I appreciated Rhett Butler because he called her out on all her crap, but he was no angel either. And, I think this story spanning eleven years could have been told in half the pages. I'll stop now.
