Epic Romance (  ) Litrvixen | Jun 23, 2022 |  Shamefully, I've never seen this movie and didn't know the gist of the book. I had no idea what the plot was. I "knew" it was about a romance between a Scarlett O'Hara and a Rhett Butler. And I knew "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn". That was it. I went in quite blind and was frequently surprised. The book took a dozen turns I was very much not expecting. (Spoilers to follow for any others such as myself.) I had love-hate feeling toward Scarlett O'Hara, which seemed to change from page to page. Even now, I'm not sure what I think of her. Truly, she's awful... right? I'm not sure. Either way, I figure that makes her an impressive character. I thought Rhett was fantastic, if not especially honorable. I never did understand why he was so keen on Scarlett, and I think he deserved better. Additionally, their "romance" struck me as non-existent, so I don't think it's fair to call this book as such. I would mark it as "potential romance" or "frustrating-as-hell". But not romance. (Side note: There is certainly a strong dose of racism that goes beyond describing slavery and reconstruction in the 1800s. It makes me doubt that this story deserves its status as a "timeless" classic. One could make the argument that the racism is through the eyes of the characters, though I didn't get that impression. It's almost like Margaret Mitchell thinks her characters are justified in physically and mentally abusing -and killing?- the slaves/freed slaves and tries to write it as such. The descriptions in Chapter 37 of life after the slaves were released are particularly egregious. Ick.) Margaret Mitchell is an incredibly strong writer. Her style made getting through this 1000 page book relatively smooth. I found the dialogue between characters particularly witty. However... there are those issues with racism, and ultimately I was very frustrated with how the book ended. I wanted some sort of resolution -we've devoted a lot of energy into Scarlett's plight thus far. (And, okay, I didn't like the two deaths at the end one little bit. That hurt my opinion a lot.) I do see why this story is so popular, though. (  ) Allyoopsi | Jun 22, 2022 | really did read it im my thirties pendergrass | Mar 10, 2022 | Gahhh! im not sure if i hate or love this book more.

 An old fashioned, romantic narrative with no Joycean or Proustian nonsense about it, the novel is written in a methodical style which fastidious readers may find wearying. But so carefully does Author Mitchell build up her central character of Scarlett O'Hara, and her picture of the times in which that wild woman struggled, that artistic lapses seem scarcely more consequential than Scarlett's many falls from grace.  This is beyond a doubt one of the most remarkable first novels produced by an American writer. It is also one of the best.  The historical background is the chief virtue of the book, and it is the story of the times rather than the unconvincing and somewhat absurd plot that gives Miss Mitchell's work whatever importance may be attached to it.
