Gone with the Wind

This is such a fantastic story, full of drama and visuals. I watched the movie long ago and read the book a few years ago. So good, just as I had remembered it. The complaint about it is how black people are referred to, but in that time it was the common verbiage so fit with the story. Hard to read, though.

My mom's favorite! I read this in 1986/87 during lunch breaks at work! I could not put this down!

The best book I have read on this list so far.

I was VERY surprised at how much I loved this book! It's a monster of a 1000+ page book, but worth the time to read. I learned a lot about the Civil War by reading this book. Very gruesome and graphic, not for the squeamish! Nice love story as well. Definitely highly recommended.

Great love story, characters are really deep and that makes the difference !

Great novel that captures the period of Civil War through a romantic story. Rhett Butler's characterisation is perfection.

The great American novel

A long, complex and well developed story line set in the Civil War era. The book shows the complexities of relationships between a man and a woman.

Perfect book for you if you are someone who is together with love of your life but not aware of that fact until the day finally he gives up trying to win your love.
