Title: The book is pretentious, long-winded, and a waste of time.
Product review: This book is an embarrassment to Margret Mitchell. Alexandra Ripley is a tacky, un-original, and cliched writer. If I wanted to read about magic and overly dramatized romance, I'd be in the fantasy section. The book was a waste of time, and I would have been better off had I not known of its existence. It has one star because that's the fewest I can give. Read Gone With the Wind. It's real writing.
