This book reads like it is 200 pages instead of nearly 1000. Scarlett O'Hara is one of the most compelling fictional characters ever - - totally flawed, yet you find yourself cheering for her all the way. If you read this book for what it is - - a story of unrequited love - - you'll love it. In so far as the historical part, I learned quite a bit about the Civil War times from the perspective of the South. Unfortunately, some of this comes across as racist, and it probably is/was. But I think it gives real insight into the unfair perceptions that existed in the day. (  ) Anita_Pomerantz | Mar 23, 2023 |  September 36 edition, 15th, no jacket, fair dgmathis | Mar 19, 2023 | What a fantastic novel. I can't believe I hadn't read this before now! I don't know how she did it, but Margaret Mitchell managed to write in a simple, easy-to-read manner (no thick, plodding prose), but at the same time really delve into the deep, complication of human relationships. And the civil war is like a character in itself - a finely-woven tapestry laid out behind the characters dancing in front of it. And to make us care what happens to, and look forward to finding out what happens to the so-very-spoiled Scarlett O'Hara, is quite an incredible feat. I can't believe how engaged I was in this book (I read A LOT) and sadly realize it may be years, even decades, before I read another book that sweeps me away like this one did. (P.S. I watched the movie after I finished the book, and they did a decent job, but even in almost four hours of film, they cannot do it justice. Don't settle for the movie - read the book!) (  ) Desiree_Reads | Mar 15, 2023 | I don't even want to rate this. I knew it would be uncomfortable to read with outdated stereotypes, but I had no idea just how intense and awful the level of propaganda would be. From the notion that the KKK was necessary to protect white women to describing every black character (even those the white characters supposedly loved) in animalistic terms or as child-like, it was just awful. I have heard references to both the novel and the book in pop culture over the years, so I wanted to read it myself. (  ) CarolHicksCase | Mar 12, 2023 | Gone with the Wind is a novel by Margaret Mitchell in which Scarlett O'Hara struggles to maintain her family's plantation, which has fallen into disrepair since Atlanta was burned in the Civil War. Scarlett is crushed when her childhood love marries another woman. Scarlett marries Charles Hamilton, who dies in the Civil War. After the Civil War, Scarlett struggles to support herself. She marries three more times in search of financial stability. Mitchell's narrative, set against the historical background of the American Civil War is a somewhat engrossing read. I say somewhat because I was not impressed with the central character of Scarlett O'Hara and, although the author was able to introduce many characters and much historical detail, I was not engaged as the novel droned on. The selfishness of the priveleged character of Scarlett was disappointing and deterred me from enjoying some of the colorful detail in this long novel. Her struggles, particularly with Rhett Butler, dimmed as the novel wound onward to its inevitable ending. (  ) jwhenderson | Mar 5, 2023 |
 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.
