Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell

5/5
At over 1,000 pages, Gone With the Wind may be daunting at first, but it quickly becomes a book that you simply can’t put down. Margaret Mitchell's masterpiece is set in the Civil War era and tells a captivating story of the southern belle Scarlett O'Hara and the infamous Rhett Butler. The novel was later made into one of the most successful films in history, starring Vivian Leigh and Clark Gable, however the movie cannot even compare to the book. Margaret Mitchell depicts characters in the book as multi-faceted, understandable, and all with lifelike human emotions and interactions. Through all of struggles in the course of the novel, Scarlett stays strong, and in the end, she is still hopeful of what tomorrow will bring. Gone With the Wind is brilliant in its entirety, so complete with historical facts and engaging with an unpredictable plot. Poignant and enchanting, Gone With the Wind proves itself to be one of the best novels ever written. It is a book I would highly recommend to anyone.
