Editorial Review:
The timeless tale continues... The most popular and beloved American historical novel ever written, Margaret Mitchell's Gone With the Wind is unparalleled in its portrayal of men and women at once larger than life but as real as ourselves. Now bestselling writer Alexandra Ripley brings us back to Tara and reintroduces us to the characters we remember so well: Rhett, Ashley, Mammy, Suellen, Aunt Pittypat, and, of course, Scarlett. As the classic story, first told over half a century ago, moves forward, the greatest love affair in all fiction is reignited; amidst heartbreak and joy, the endless, consuming passion between Scarlett O'Hara and Rhett Butler reaches its startling culmination. Rich with surprises at every turn and new emotional, breathtaking adventures, Scarlett satisfies our longing to reenter the world of Gone With the Wind, and like its predecessor, Scarlett will find an eternal place in our hearts.

Rating:  - Nowhere near the quality writing in the original
I didn't expect it to the as good as GWTW, but I didn't expect it to be as awful as it is either - yikes! The second half of the book was easier to tolerate than the first half, and I was pleased with the ending, but it was so hard to get through the first part of the book that it took me over a year to pick it back up after first starting to read it. The behavior and thought patterns of this Scarlett just don't jibe with the original - not even close. I kept thinking "She wouldn't do that," and ... Read More
Rating: - Prepare to be disappointed
I love "Gone With The Wind" and have read it many times. Unfortunately, "Scarlett" is a very disappointing continuation of the story (I have given it a fair chance, I've read the whole thing twice).
If this was just a work of fiction, it would be a very good one, but as a follow up to Margaret Mitchell's work of genius, it falls way short. It's not that Ripley is a poor author, it's that she left one of the most important elements of "Gone With The Wind" out when she wrote "Scarlett" - ... Read More
Rating: - Save yourself the time!
What a joke!!! Ripley's understanding of the characters is vague to non-existent. Save yourself the time and read Rhett Butler's People instead.
Rating:  - Don't waste your time!
I absolutely LOVE GWTW, and was a little skeptical of a sequel by an unknown author in the first place, but decided to read it anyway. It was horrible. It shouldn't even be associated with GWTW.
The author's style of writing seems to skip along without much detail or insight into the characters, save Scarlett. I felt like the author spent most of her time trying to tie in key phrases and ideas from the main book (to the point that I was fairly annoyed by the end of it), all the while ... Read More
Rating:  - Scarlett
I love this book. It ends really great. The characters were well written and I still was in love with them.
