I loved this book! I thought that the writer captured the character of Scarlett and Rhett perfectly. This book was beautifully written and the characters were so true to the original book that I became swept along with the story immediatley. I understand that some people object to things that happened in the book, for instance they say "Scarlett would never sell Tara" but in real life people do things that others would never have expected. I think that the author did a good job of showing how Scarlett grew and matured, but didn't really change so much that she was unrecognizable. Anyway, I would fully recomend this book. I loved it.
