Gone with the Wind (The Margaret Mitchell Anniversary Edition)
GWTW-I discovered it on the shelf of my highschool library & having never heard of it, I decided I would read it. I was completely unprepared for the ride! While we all want to be Melanie, the truth is-we're all a little Scarlett on the inside! I have since read the book many times (and of course own the DVD) and never tire of it. A definite book for gals-you get a glimpse into southern life at the time of the Civil War and experience a love story of enormous preportions. "Fiddle Dee Dee" is our catch phrase around the house! LOVED IT>
Gone with the Wind (The Margaret Mitchell Anniversary Edition)
Not only is this book very moving, but it is one of the most popular historicals ever. Albeit, I did think it was long and I sometimes got tired of reading about struggle after struggle and pain over and over, this is the kind of book that shows the strength of people. When you get done with this book, it will leave you satisfied.
Gone with the Wind (The Margaret Mitchell Anniversary Edition)
Gone With The Wind is a passionate,heartthrobbing,beautiful,romantic tale.I saw the movie when I was 4 but it didn't make much of an impression on me because when I began reading it in bookstores when I was 6 I was immediatley enthralled with the story of Scarlett O'Hara,the sweet Southern Belle that when the War made many hard changes in her life she became a woman that did what she felt like and didn't listen to other peoples disapproval.Margaret Mitchell has brought many hours of joy to me as I read from her wonderful book every day of my life.I love Scarlett very much as the main character but Melanie is more dear to me.She is a beautiful,shining,kind woman that always saw Scarlett's and Rhett's good.She goes to show what we have lost from that era.Many people hate Ashley and think he's a wimp but that's only his potrayal in the movie.In the book,he is like Rhett but takes diffrent paths in the same situations.All the characters in this book,the lovely description,and the era make this book"my favorite book of all time".
Gone with the Wind (The Margaret Mitchell Anniversary Edition)
This is one of the most fascinating book that I have ever read.In its sweep, it focuses not only on slavery but also on the impact of war (however justified or inevitable) in people's lives. Scarlett's character is brilliant. Her transformation from a butterfly to a tough woman who loves her land, her struggles against poverty and her determination to rise above it, her passionate nature are just some of the remarkable features of this book. Its almost as if in the character of Scarlett, the author has put in all the dreams, hopes and aspiration of America of the mid 1800's. The description of life in the south makes the book all the more enchanting. Above all, its a great romance- A wonderful summer read. Scarlett's character, could be the voice of many women across the world even today.

It has been said that all fantasy books are "Lord of the rings" progenies. If true, then all romance books have "Gone with the wind" roots. Every hero worth fantasizing about has Rhett's dash and every heroine seems to have Scarlett's spunk.I first read this book after years of loving the romance genre. It was already some 5 decades written and the author was long gone but I remember thinking: "Wow, so this was how it all started."

I read this book every few years. The reason I bought kindle version was to always have it. This is a classical historical novel. I would recommend this to everyone.
