Title: Alexandra Ripley is no Margaret Mitchell
Product review: From the moment I first read Gone With The Wind I was hooked, and dreamed of how Scarlett and Rhett would someday be reunited. That is part of the magic of GWTW, the greatest love story of all time. I can't believe that Alexandra Ripley even read GWTW. Tara was Scarlett's heart and soul, the source of her strength, and she never would have left it, not as long as there was a breath in her body. "Scarlett" is an enjoyable book in itself...Ripley tells a good tale. However, she seems to have written the book as her own story, as if by moving Scarlett to Ireland can give her the freedom to change certain pesonalities with the characters, but not quite understanding the depth of them as their creator did. Treated as a seperate book, it would be more enjoyable, but not as the sequel to the greatest love story ever told
