Gone With the Wind (text only) by M. Mitchell

This is one of my favorite books! The writing is amazing with all the twists and turns going on in the south this story is telling about! Sadly my first edition copy went missing several years ago!

Gifted to my mother. Absolute classic.

It's even better than a movie me and my husband love to read it before bed it puts him to sleep I love to read it to him because he didn't have a good mom to read it to him so I stopped in and got to be like the mom he never had

I got this book now because the one I had since 1986 was worn out. I think it is a marvelous work of written expression, the great American novel, unparalleled in modern history. The caliber of Margaret Mitchell's only writing excursion is unbelievable. She never wrote another novel because, she could never write anything that would be comparable to Gone With The Wind. I've read it now 31 times and it takes me about 2-3 months to get through it. The lettering is kind of small, but hey; that's what reading glasses are for.I had a friend who read it once and was so angry at Scarlett O'Hara she had tears in her eyes as she explained why, "She could have been so happy!"

I would watch the movie every year for the past 50 years loving every moment. so glad to have finally read the book. It's so much better than the movie. I laughed, I cried I loved and I hated all the characters. Now I feel like I truly know and understand them so much more. I was sad to turn the last page. I will read it again soon. Enjoy

I do not recall ever having read a novel before, that was able to reach into the depths of the physic and current everyday detailed feelings of the main characters, while describing happenings and events of the day, that which Margaret Mitchell was able to accomplish. It was extreme detail in the Negro speech patterns that reflected the ongoing, the novels current day events, that other authors can never accomplish. In some cases, knowing I had a 1000 pages to read, I passed on through some of the continuing physic detail, but her novel's plot was solid and overall highly encompassing for the times that the novel covers. Actually, it was only 12 years of Scarlets life in Georgia, before and after the Civil War, but they were very compact years, as expressed in the writings of Margaret Mitchell.

I saw the movie years and years ago. The book was a little too detailed about the Civil War but might be good for someone that likes that type of book. It was very good tho.

This is a beautiful edition of this book. It will be kept as a keepsake as I have read the book in years past many, many times. I wanted to get a copy before it is removed from print by the powers that be. So sad if they go ahead and ban this book which shows what happened in history. Nothing to be ashamed about it is our history, just as today's fiasco will be history one day for all to read about.

I absolutely love this edition of this classic novel. I've never read it before and I'm so excited to dive in as so many of my colleagues love it.

Sou encantada com este clássico! Já amava o filme, achei o livro tão espetacular quanto!

A true classic of a bygone age,read it for the time it was written in, do not judge by today's politically correct world.

Le livre est arrivé en parfait état en temps et en heure. Rien à redire !

Gone with the wind is a masterpiece that everybody should read. An amazing depiction of the civil war and the life of the Southerners. It really helps to understand the present too
