Book Reviews of Scarlett: The Sequel to Margaret Mitchell's "Gone With the Wind"
Book Review: "My hand just won't write 'fiddle-dee-dee,' Ripley said
Summary: 1 Stars
...in an interview she gave before this book was published. How in the world any publisher thought for one moment that someone who couldn't write that phrase could do justice to the sequel to GWTW, is beyond me. And Ripley doesn't. The characters are shallow pretenses of the originals, the story is more cheap paperback romance than the original and the entire effort is one, sad joke.Ripley claims she read GWTW six times (be still, my heart -- most of us fans read it more than that before we were out of college) and she outlined it, studied the language (??? she isn't even a Southerner?), and "even" copied 200 pages to get the feel of it. A totally unsuccessful venture, judging from the result.
Don't spend money or time on this if you loved GWTW. It doesn't compare and shouldn't even be mentioned in the same breath.
