review

When I started this book, I thought I was going to be reading a cheesy romance novel. I thought Gone with the Wind would be shallow, silly, ignorant, When I started this book, I thought I was going to be reading a cheesy romance novel. I thought Gone with the Wind would be shallow, silly, ignorant, and maybe even poorly written - kind of the way Scarlett is portrayed in the film.

I could not have been more wrong.

As soon as I started reading, I was highlighting beautiful sentences so often that I had to take a deep breath and stop because I was highlighting every sentence. Mitchell is a gifted novelist and her account of Georgia before, during, and after the Civil War is nuanced and thought provoking. The character of Scarlett is likewise nuanced and not what one would expect. The way she is portrayed in the film is a ghost of what she is in the book. She is smart, her strength is incredible, and her will to survive is palpable.

The pacing is great. I did not get bored while reading Gone with the Wind, and while I am a patient reader, I have to say this book read more like a 200 page novel than the 1400+ that it was. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes to read.
