Over. Rated. ( ![]() A classic first published in 1936 - I read this way back in 1983. I was just a dreamy little southern girl waiting for my prince charming...haha. I don't remember all the fine details of this book, but I do remember reading it while sunning and floating on a raft down Cow Bayou. Those were the days! It will take a few chapters for you to start rolling with the negro dialect, which was heavily used throughout this humongous book, but you'll get it and really start to enjoy the story. The movie? Sorry! I thought it completely sucked. This book cannot be overhyped. A true classic work of American literature. I’m glad I was finally able to finish this as an adult. The first two times I tried I was in middle school and I know I would not have the appreciation for this as I do now. The characters are wonderful cast. I know many have a certain view on this novel and the events of the civil war. Personally, I see a painting of a way of life that was forever changed, and I’m not referring to slavery. The way of life in the South. The ladies and their gentlemen. The almost laid back life of the South. Then came the arrogance of both the South and North and the breakout of war over points of view. We see what war, especially civil war can do to a nation, a people. We see the struggles of the losers as they try to right their upturned world however they can. As we see with Ashley, not all can. Then those like Scarlett and Rhett have the grit and determination to stand back on their feet. Then sweet, constant and loyal Melanie. The constant thread between our cast. While I admire Scarlett, there were several moments that I pitied her as well as disliked her. Rhett is by far my fave as he is a straight shooter and has no problems calling things as they are yet still has his own code of honor. This is a novel I will definitely revisit over time. Truly a stunning work of literature.
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.
