Didn’t Like It1 of 1 members found this review helpful “Truly dissapointing! Gone with the Wind is one of my favorite books. However, this book tries to tell the story from Rhett's perspective and to try to explore his roots and what formed his personality during his formative years. It was incredibly boring and inaccurate and I only read half of...” see full review » see other reviews » |

“I'm enjoying the book. Much different from Gone With the Wind. Much more Civil War history about the South.”
Debbie S wrote this review 7 days ago. ( reply | permalink ) Was this review helpful? Yes | No“I am very surprised this is a fully authorized version by the Margaret Mitchell estate. While it is true to the story line of GWTW the quality of writing does not come close. It reveals very little that the reader of GWTW did not already know about Rhett. While it was entertaining and nice to revive my love of Rhett and Scarlett I wasn't sold on his story. It gave me no cause to feel empathy for his character. No emotion. Believe me I love the tall, dark, handsome Rhett in GWTW-but fiddle dee dee this book is not worthy of his good name!”

“Not bad... in some ways better than Scarlett yet in other ways no. I gave it for stars for the Rhett and Scarlett storyline, alone. McCaig i found did a great job of showing what was going on in Rhett's head throughout the story. As far as the other story lines, Rosemary, Ravenal, Tunnis and more...they were quite boring and it almost made me go to sleep. Still read it if your a Gone with the Wind fan...would love to see what they would do with a movie!”

Scarlett was a dissapointment-- too much Alexandra Ripley's characters, not enough plot-- this was a delight. McCaig allowed himself a voice, thus giving Rhett one, too. This is not the story of Scarlett after the "damn," but why Rhett chucked out the "damn" in the first place. By centering this work on a character Mitchell underdeveloped, he give the GWTW fan another aspect of the story and the ability to enjoy a "sequel" without feeling like Mitchell's throwing rocks down from Heaven. ”

“I read Gone With the Wind. and then I read Scarlett(the sequel by a different author) and then I read this one so this is what I think: I think that this book is just another version to Gone with the Wind(only from Rhett Butlers point of view), because the whole time I kept comparing this to Scarlett and everything was all different so I think the author just wrote this as his version of how he would have ended Gone with the Wind. It definitely wasn't as good as Scarlett and Gone with the End, but I liked it”
