rating:
Ok, this book was flat-out terrible. I read it because I LOVED Gone With the Wind, but in this book the characters aren't even recognizable as the same people, and do all sorts of well, just bizarre things. Scarlett goes to Ireland to get in touch with her roots, of all things. And she's always obsessing over Rhett and simpering. The real Scarlett was too self-absorbed to ever be like that!
Anyway, it's really sad for me to see one of the best literary masterpieces be sequelled by such a terrible B romance. No, make that a D romance.
So, if you read Gone With the Wind and have had your eye on the sequel, DON'T read it! You would be better off writing your own version of the sequel, which in fact I was tempted to do after reading this calamity because it couldn't possibly be worse.
And did I say don't read it?
