Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell
5.0
'Gone With the Wind' has been a novel that I have always wanted to read, but was intimidated by the amount of pages and time that I would have to dedicated to read it. Let me tell you, it was well worth the wait. The book, although peppered with language that is frowned upon now (was written in the 1930’s), was absolutely DELICIOUS. Filled with characters that you felt petty for, wanted to round house kick in the throat, and even come off the top rope with “the Peoples” elbow (WWE wrestling term), the book did not disappoint. I promised myself that I wouldn’t watch the movie until I read the entire book…and both were equally as good. But, as we all know, the book was better.
The main character - Scarlett, who I have named in my own mind “that Hussy” was nothing but a spoiled brat who got EXACTLY what the hell she was looking for in the end. Not sure how a person who was given so many things, earned feeling and love from folks that shouldn’t have even given her the time of day could suffer and overcome adversity and still be a…a….cunt! Yes, I said it. She made me through the book across the dang room, only to pick it up, read more, and then through that b$#@! back across the room again, and again, and again. Yes, in the end she got what she deserved while others where unfortunate results of collateral damage. I am so glad I read the book. Definitely the best book that I have read this year!
