Gone with the Wind
by Margaret Mitchell
I can’t believe I finished this book! It’s been on my self for 10 years and as a resolution to myself I promised to at least try to read it. I can’t believe I waited this long.
Gone With the Wind is one of my all time favorite movies but I was afraid the book wouldn’t live up to it or it would be boring bc it was over 1,000 pages.
It was really excellent, I understand why they made it into a movie and I’m super impressed with the job they did.
If I’m being totally honest, the book was probably 200 pages too long but who am I to tell the great Margaret Mitchell that her world famous book is too long.
I learned so much from this book. Reading something from the side of the south during the civil war was new to me. I remember learning some things about reconstruction but that was years and years ago. This book opened my eyes to what harsh punishment the North brought down on the south (not a southern sympathizer I just believe in being fair).
I think the one thing I can’t let go of was at the very beginning it was stated that this was a love story. Ummm debatable! If we are talking about people loving people the only person that loved people was Melly. Scarlet only loved herself and Tara. She lost so much because she was mean, hateful and proud. Rhett was honestly no better, they tormented each other when they could have just been open and honest with each other. They deserved each other and the pain they cases each other. And Ashley was a lost soul after the war, urning for something he would never get back and because he couldn’t let go he was miserable.
All in all I loved the book, I still love the movie and I’m so glad I accomplished this goal!
