crodo 's review for:

Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell
5.0

Really loved this book; no wonder it's a highly praised classic. I learned a lot from this book i.e. southerners were democrats during the civil war (northern aggression). I went to a meeting in the middle of listening to the Civil war portion; my palms were sweating and my heart was racing. The description of the action was so well written I felt like I was there. Wow!

The complexity of the characters is unlike anything I have ever read. Scarlett is such a flawed, complex, brave and intelligent character. She is vain yet has the stubbornness to survive through anything. Rhett...oh boy I developed a crush on a fictional person. He is also intelligent, cunning, a moral bad boy, charming and passionate.

I was glad the story did not end at what seemed like a natural ending...Bonnie. I wanted more, I still want more. I can only dream to write as well as Margaret Mitchell. Amazing, books like this make me very happy.
