Gone with the Wind is a masterpiece of creative writing on every level. In its 1400 pages (or 49 hours on audio) there is not a single wasted line or insignificant moment. From a purely technical perspective, it is awe-inducing how flawlessly Mitchell utilizes characterization, setting, research, co...

Well I was tempted to just post a gif with someone giving a middle finger, but heck, I can do better than that. And honestly I want to explain (though I think my updates did a great job of that) of why this is from beginning to end pretty much one of the most disappointing books I have read this yea...

5 Stars. Buy it Spoilers This was definitely a favorite while I was growing up and helped me really like long novels. One thing I’m noticing is that despite being quite a bit older since I’ve last read this, is that it’s still really hard to understand when the slaves are talking. DAMN it. M...

This is really a great Saga and it is not "dated" at all, although it was written in 1936. Most of you will have seen the movie. A great movie, no doubt, but to know everything about Scarlett O'Hara you need to read this fantastically written book. It won the Pulitzer Prize, by the way. We follow Sc...

I want to shout NO, NO, NO, NO over and over again!! are you seriously going to leave me with, "tomorrow is another day"? Well, I'm not a person who needs a happy ending but I really, really wanted a happy End for this story! Even though I knew while I'm reading the novel that the ending was not goi...

Gone with the Wind has often been criticized as racist, which it certainly is. I also found that the book at times was repetitive which is not OK in a book of this length.The book is many things at once. A lament for the old South. An argument for the new South. A war novel, a novel about defeat...
