Title: Did Margaret Mitchell's classic REALLY need a sequel?
Product review: By itself, this is quite a good book. Ms. Ripley's usage of literary elements is very good, as is her "storytelling" talents. However.....I still don't understand WHY Gone With the Wind HAD to have a sequel.One should understand; Margaret Mitchell based GWTW on things that happened in her own life and on her own love experiences. It's always harder to take up another writer's pen and write about his/her characters ( Take the VC Andrews Books for instance...)But....the book is an interesting read in its own right and to me, is 100 times better than the horrible miniseries where Joanne Whalley Kilmer butchers the role of Scarlett and Timothy Dalton comes just an inch short of playing a real Rhett Butler.The facts are the facts, folks: This might be a nice evening time read, but nothing's better than the original. Period.
