Gone with the Wind and Scarlett-2 Vol. Boxed Set by Margaret Mitchell

Gone with the Wind and Scarlett-2 Vol. Boxed Set Reviews

  Not as good as the original. Motives of some characters do not make sense, and I just couldn’t see things going the way they did in some parts.

  Even though it was not written by the same author I can say that I truly enjoyed this book. Scarlett finally realizing she is in love with Rhett and going after him no matter what was very satisfying for me. Absolutely loved it!

  Now they want to ban my favorites. If you are for free speech how can you agree with this BS of banning classics? The PC police are ruining everything. What's next?

  This was everything I could have wanted in a sequel for Gone with the wind. You hardly even notice a difference in author because the narrative voice is almost exactly the same. It all comes full circle and we finally get the ending we always wanted.

  I waited impatiently for this sequel only to be disappointed.
  
  I made two mistakes when this was first released in 1991; pre-ordering, paying full price for the hardcover and then reading this. It’s a waste of resources to print and market this book in any format; not to mention the wasted time and money of readers who read this awful book. Both critics and fans of the original novel felt that it was bad and it was panned by book critics worldwide. It was a commercial success, most likely because of pre-orders and it debuted on the New York Times bestseller list. While no book will ever please everyone who loved Ms. Mitchell’s original I believe that Donald McCaig has done a good job with the two books that the estate has allowed him to write. He has not written a sequel that has Scarlett as the main character, although IMHO she shares the spotlight in “RHETT BUTLER’S PEOPLE and he have said that it was his impression that they “were thoroughly embarrassed by “SCARLETT”. The book is over 830 pages long and for the most part is just a cheap, tawdry romance that would probably only exist in used book stores if it was not linked to GWTT. It is in the top five on my list of the worst books I’ve ever read and I’d rate it zero stars if I could..
  
  Alexander Ripley's sequel ruined Miss Mitchell's great classic and she should have to buy back every copy from readers who were disgusted with the trash she wrote.

  I read this book twice. First time in my teens and second time in my 40s. I remember loving the book, but this time around I didn’t even like it. I gave it sentimental three stars.. The author was stretching the story on and on. I felt like the book will never end.

  I loved this book. It definitely kept many of the characters from the original alive and kept you constantly intrigued.
