Genre #2 -- Historical
Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell
read 5/29/2010 - 6/5/2010
I am so torn in regard to this book. I loved, loved, loved it, but was so disillusioned by the ending. I wanted closure! And quite honestly, I wanted a happy ending. I guess there are no happy endings for Scarlett. Regardless of the ending, this was such a great book, and I'm glad I read it. The character development almost reminded me of Dickens' character development (though not quite as impressive). Mitchell did such a great job of making the Civil War-era South come alive to me.
This book was part of my 2010 summer reading program.
Book reviews for babies, toddlers, kids, teens, and adults as well as educational and fun reading activities and ideas.
