A review by funteamjen
The Making of Gone with the Wind by Steve Wilson

1.0

This book is filled with hundreds of fascinating images and artifacts; if I was rating the book based on pictures, it would be 5 stars without a doubt. The 1 star rating refers to the content. Why someone would take the story of making the most epic film of all time and turn it into an absolute snooze fest is beyond me. This book was poorly organized and contained an absolutely ridiculous amount of unnecessary detail. I really didn't need a play by play of every single day of filming, who was late, what airline they arrived on, or the last straw, what items were lost after the premiere in Atlanta. If you reduced this book to the interesting content, it would likely be no more than a few pages. My advice? Look at the pictures and skip the text, unless you are looking for an easy way to fall asleep.
