" Who doesn't love Gone With the Wind. Scarlet is such a great character you just want to smack her upside the head and knock some sense into her the entire time. It is a story of not realizing what you have until it's Gone...with the wind. It is an epic Historical Novel. Narration is excellent. "

" Absolutely delighted with the ebb and flow narration of this book, right down to the singing of the songs mentioned in the story line. Definitely would give a higher rating than the five-star allowed for this stellar narration. "

" Don't let the "Classic" title fool you.
Yes, "Gone with the Wind" is a lot older than you. But there's a reason it remains one of the highest rated and most widely read "classic" on Goodreads.
Part Romance Novel, part historical fiction, it's also one of the books you read about how complex protagonists can be. "

" Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell
Who hasn’t seen the movie version of this book? Multiple times? I didn’t think the story could get more interesting and had never bothered to read the book itself. How wrong could I be? Apparently, very wrong!
The book, and specifically the audio book, was so much better than the movie. Not only does the book have incredibly rich detail, but there are portions of the story that are never told, nor even hinted at, in the movie.
How long is the movie? Doesn’t matter because the audio book is 49 hours and those 49 hours are totally engrossing. I could not stop listening and did so only if I absolutely had to.
The Narrator, Linda Stephens, did an incredible job with the descriptions and the voices. She made the people come alive, each of them equally however different in personality and situation they may have been.
I totally enjoyed this audio book and I’m so glad that I have it in my AudiobookStore library because this is a book I’ll be listening to many times.

" Seriously im only thirteen and reading this book and it is quiet sad. I just got it a week ago and finished a fourth of the book. Ever had that suspenseful feeling of what will happen in the end and did you ever end up reading the end before the beginning or read the whole book backwards? Well thats what i did and now i hate my self! "

" By far, one of the best books written in the last century. An evocative look at the civil war and post civil war, through the eyes of a southern belle and her comtempories. The only disappointment, for my part, is the failure of the author to produce a sequel by her own hand.
