What Members Thought

I found this book fascinating and enjoyed the glimpse into the world for those in the south. Most books I have read about war focus on those serving in the military. What I loved about this book was its focus on life for those at home.

Holy crap, what a book. A great history lesson, a novel of love, hate, betrayal, and loss. Set before, during, and after the (not-so) Civil War, filled with memorable characters, this great novel, like any great story, draws you in and doesn't let go. I cared about these characters, even Scarlett O'Hara, whose selfish ass I was waiting for someone to kick. This is one of the great novels of 20th-century literature. Read it. Now. You'll thank me later.

Believe it or not..I listened to this book..UNABRIDGED..
on tape a few years ago.
I loved it!!
I listened to it..while I walked and walked and walked..
I can't remember how many tapes...maybe 30 something..
Wonderful classic..
Of course I had seen the movie many times before I read it..and so I did picture Vivian Leigh and Clark Gable...etc..
