Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell

3.0

“I can't think about that right now. If I do, I'll go crazy. I'll think about that tomorrow.”

Yup, I am not even going to think about how I read this thick book only to come to that ending.



I have to say, Scarlett hast to be one of the main characters that I will think about for a long time. Truly, this book would forever remain in my memory. What I think is the most astounding reason for this is that, this is a romance novel but the main lovers did not really see each other that much throughout the years. Another thing that I didn't much like was their age difference (which was easily solved by Rhett by actually stating that he does not 'date' children and he wanted to wait until she was older).

To be honest, I mostly skimmed through the war talks and war parts. Once I get the gist on what was happening in that time period, I jump around until I find another interesting thing. This book is too damn longgg.

But I have to give credit, because it truly was written well. I didn't think that I would be interested in this kind of story, especially since this is historical fiction. But I wasn't bored. I was just disinterested in some other parts. But it was really good. The visions were complete in my head. I feel what the characters were feeling. It felt like I was watching a TV show. Now, with that said, there had been some lagging moments in the books. I started to notice it in the middle part.

Now, this is one of the top romance novels to read in a lifetime. I think this is more fiction and that focuses on Scarlett's life rather than her romance with Rhett.

All in all, I did enjoy reading about the protagonists' life.
