I read this book...actually kept with it for
the 600-some pages. I liked the first part of the
book, aboutRhett Butler's background, family etc., and
historical background of Charleston, S.C. where
he grew up. What I did not care for was how the
author seemed to change the personalities of
some of the characters, such as Melanie Hamilton
Wilkes, and Belle Watling, after being well-written
about, and characteristics established in GWTW. I
guess the author wished to demonstrate that all of the
characters lives changed drastically by the time the Civil War was quite a few years in the past.
Overly long story. For me....it was just 'so-so'.
