Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell
5.0
Frack. I mean…I just…frack.
I am so torn. This is a phenomenal, epic, horrible tale. It's really, really hard to look past all the -isms and dismiss them as a sign of the times. It's also hard not to give credit where it's due, to an author whose prose doesn't feel superfluous (quite a feat, given the book's length) and who managed to evoke sympathy—albeit fleeting—for those undeserving of it.
And so it appears I've talked myself into a 5. Frack.
