Who would have thought that a page, year-old novel about a spoiled, petulant teenager in petticoats would completely suck me in, and turn out to be one of the greatest novels of all time? Everything about this book is beyond superlative--vivid characters, settings that live and breathe, but especially Margaret Mitchell's prose.
It would be worthwhile for any writer to study her sentences, every one of which flows with living motion, without a single flowery word. The dialogues between Scarlett and Rhett make sparks fly off the pages! One could criticize the liberal use of racially offensive terms and the portrayal of happy slaves, but I would disagree. Within the world so meticulously created by the author, a bygone world, for all its faults, that was seen as being in equilibrium before its downfall, to have done otherwise would have been false.
This is truly the Great American Novel, in the top 5 of the greatest books I've ever read, and I suggest that you will thank yourself for reading it. My only regret about finishing Gone With the Wind is that now I can never again read it for the first time. I bought this book after reading a politically correct rant in a magazine by someone who thought it was high time that the book should be shunned or even banned. In general, I tend to think that anything that people want to ban should be immediately and strongly supported for free speech reasons, if nothing else, but I did not necessarily have high expectations for the book.
I was way wrong. Its a great novel on many levels: Of course, her view of the institution of slavery was disingenuous at best , but, on the other hand, her bitter attacks on the carpetbaggers and speculators during the reconstruction era certainly ring true.

But the politics of the book are not the elements that make it great; it is the portrayal of an era and the way she makes you care about the events, characters, and land that make up Scarlett O'Hara's world This novel is the second greatest selling book of all time the Bible is first , and I can now see why it has maintained its extraordinary popularity for 75 years.
That popularity was, and is, well deserved.
