Endless and useless Ok, so I'll say it. I hated the movie Gone with the Wind. But, in an effort to be fair, I decided to read the book. I thought maybe it was something about the production that I didn't like. But, no, the book has many of the same problems.
Reasons to Hate GWTW: 1)It's endless for one, just like the movie. Over a thousand pages and a large bit of it is completely unecessary. 2) Rhett - I don't care what anyone says, he wasn't handsome, he wasn't romantic, and there wasn't much to like about him. 3) Scarlett - I've never seen a more annoying female lead. And everyone says, "oh she grows up in the end! she stops being selfish!" She doesn't. 4) If you don't like the two main characters, what's the point?
Needless to say, it was a waste of money for me and I gave my copy to a friend who loves the movie. At least she'll enjoy it.
