Love the book! The reasons are the history of the south during that time, characters, and storyline. It been a couple years since I read it. I will re-read it soon.
Blessings?,

I did read the sequel to Gone with the Wind and even though the story was good, to me the book didn't have the same tone as GWTW. Is this good or bad? I guess that depends on how attached you felt to the classic by Margaret Mitchell. I would have been fine without the sequel because the way GWTW ended I could imagine the future for Scarlett and Rhett that I wanted them to have.

SAME. It's a shame because I loved the movie, I mean I technically still do, but the book is just SO much richer than the movie, the movie just feels like a commercial for the book. There's just no comparison IMO.elanger333 wrote:I read Gone with the Wind, and have never been able to watch the movie since!

Every time I read it I find myself cheering for a different character. The book seems to change with the changing stages of my life.
Also Rhett Butler! I mean who doesn't love a bad boy?

I would also be interested to read the other book that was mentioned from Rhett's perspective, I am sure that would be interesting to go deeper inside of the mind of Rhett Butler.

GWTW was so real, and I felt with the sequel it lacked the feel and depth perhaps because the author had only the original book to base her characters. Though she was approved (or however that works) by Margaret Mitchell's estate she didn't have the same insight to the characters as Margaret Mitchell which resulted in the sequel lacking that very important "something" that none of seem to be able to put our finger on. That being said, if I had never fallen in love with the original characters I wouldn't have been so dissapointed in the sequel.
