Book Reviews of Gone With the Wind
Book Review: I am shocked.
Summary: 5 Stars
I am only twelve years old, and most people my age aren't at all interested in love stories. I am always interested in a good book, and most of my picks are action or mystery. I have read hundreds of books in my life so far, some of them poorly written, some of them average, but many of them incredible. These books have captured my imagination, but Gone With the Wind took my soul. I almost made a new lake out of my tears when Melanie died. And I loved Mammy! She added some of the funniest parts to a book I have ever had the honor to read. I am still wondering how she'll ever get Rhett back after what happened. I haven't read the sequal yet but I intend to do so. In fact, I am trying to order it from Amazon.com as soon as possible. I don't care if dozens of people didn't like the sequal. I HAVE GOT TO KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT IN THE STORY! That's also one of GWTW's strong points. Most people won't read more than the first chapter, but if you decide to go the extra mile (or two) you will find yourself dodging bullets in Sherman's seige of Atlanta. If there is one weakness to it, it's in the movie itself. It followed closely to the story line, but strangely the guys making it forgot about little Wade and Ella, and almost forgot Will entirely. But even worse, they got Mr. O'hara's death completely mixed up. And some of the guys that they got to play the beaux didn't know the first thing about acting. Charles Hamilton may have been an idiot, but surely he wasn't that dumb! Sorry, I'm getting to into the movie (I just finished watching it for the first time today). Still, despite the movie's sad mistakes, Gone With the Wind has swept this twelve year old boy off is feet and into the civil war in Atlanta! This isn't a rental book. This is a buying bookBook Review: The Greatest Book Written
Summary: 5 Stars
Being raised in the south myself, I feel a kinship to Scarlett O'Hara. Margaret Mitchell's book has keep me captivated since I was a child. GWTW was one of the first book reports I gave in jr. high school. The teacher couldn't believe that someone of my age could have read such a book. Although it took close to a week to read it, GWTW has stayed in my mind and heart in all the years that have followed. No book has made the impression that this one has made on me. I don't believe there is one that could. The first copy of this book I ever got has long since had the ink rubbed from its pages. It was well worth the time that is takes to read it. It is TRULY a classicBook Review: Best book ever
Summary: 5 Stars
Gone With the Wind is a really really good book I would have never read it if my teacher had not made me do so. It seemed almost real because is was so deepBook Review: Where's Rhett??
Summary: 5 Stars
I have read this many times, and love it better every time. Rhett Butler was my first love ever, thanks to Margaret Mitchell. I still have a little crush on him. She made the characters so real that I feel like I grew up knowing them as my friendsBook Review: A beautifully riveting book which never fails to enthrall.
Summary: 5 Stars
How do you rate a work of art? By the amount of people who have fallen under its spell? Or by the amount of hours one spends reading it, and then reviewing it? Gone with the wind has already been rated a ten, and its flame has not diminished an iota. I am fifteen, and I have yet to read a book which portrays civil war, and love, as well as Margaret Mitchell does in Gone with the Wind. I am fifteen, and I have yet to love a heroine as much as I love Scarlett O' Hara. Melanie is good, but Scarlett is alive! Her spirit and unflagging determination awakens in all of us the right to survive. We all need reminders of the horrors of war, and of the fact that while mostly the men go off to war, it is the woman who has to stay home and somehow make do with only the bare essentials of life, and hope...........................
I recommend everyone to read this book, it is the best!
