I think I'll stick with the movie, though I'm glad to have read the book. I did see Scarlet in a different light, being able to understand her thoughts, motives, and feelings in more detail than I could see in the movie. She's still a spoiled, immature brat, but I did feel bad for her at the end... She figured it all out too late. I loved Melanie in the book even more, and of course I love Rhett!
If you like fantastic writing and a story that sweeps through the ages, then this book is for you!!!
The older I become, the more I understand. As good as the movie is, the book is so much better.
