I can see why this book blew up in 1936 bc the prose and internalization of Scarlett keep you on the hook to see what else could possibly go wrong. She is THAT bitch the whole book, and it is hilarious on numerous occasions to watch the suffering play out.
That said. Rhett. My poor boy.
Anyway if you take this on, take on a nonsympathetic historical account of the civil war too, and of slavery, to wash Mitchell's propaganda back out of your brain. Godspeed and be prepared for your skin to crawl with the racist bullshit.

That being said I did the audiobook version by Linda Stephens who was INCREDIBLE. She really brought this story alive and I was sucked in from day one. If you asked me half way through this book I would've given it 5 stars all around. That being said, it is a DIFFICULT subject matter and very racist. I understand that it was written in a different time and I just kept it in the back of my mind the whole time while cringing at almost every paragraph.
If you're anything like me, who requires emotional closure to novels, stories, shows or movies because you get sucked into them whole heartedly. BE WARNED you will be sad at the end, and you'll be uncomfortable in that sadness.
