This sprawling, epic story is certainly well worth the read, with its entertaining characters who often tread the line between what we would regard as acceptable for a protagonist and what we would not. Scarlett is not always likeable and neither is Rhett. They are, however, engaging characters. The...

The last fifty pages are what makes this book great and what kills me.

I'm glad I took Mr. Pat Conroy's advice and read Gone with the Wind. While I'm not sure that I agree with his mother that Gone with the Wind is the greatest accomplishment in Southern literature, it is certainly far better than the antebellum rendition of Jane Austin I feared it would be.
