A masterpiece!
Though at first, the 1,000-something page book can appear daunting, it is an easy read - you'll quickly find yourself sucked in to the story and not wanting to put it down! With lively characters and an enthralling plot, Gone with the Wind will quickly become one of your favorite books, to be kept forever and read again and again!

A Classic That Holds Up
You can't go wrong with "Gone With the Wind!" If you've been putting it off, pick it up, and give yourself a treat.

Still a treat!
I hadn't read Gone with the Wind in at least 20 years. I first read it as a teenager, and reread it yearly for many years.
It is still a compelling story, with interesting characters. The racism seemed more blatant this time around, so I had to put that aside.
Scarlett O'Hara is a fictional icon, and she deserves to be. She is willful and stubborn, and has a habit of putting worrying about things off until tomorrow.
I recommend this book both as a new book to people who haven't read it, and as a re-read for people who haven't read it in a long time.
