Title: Inadequate in every respect
Product review: It's almost impossible to describe how disappointing "Scarlett" is to a serious fan of GWTW. The character becomes two-dimensional; the deep pain between Rhett and Scarlett is portrayed as a mere lovers' tiff; and worst of all, the plot inexplicably abandons the deep south setting where GWTW is so firmly rooted for a trip to Ireland, so that the last vestiges of Scarlett's original characterization can be laid aside in favor of romance-novel tropes. When the villagers decided Scarlett's new daughter was "cursed," I seriously wanted to call up the Mitchell estate and ask who approved any version of this story. I understand that Ripley's other work is better, but she was just the wrong person for this sequel.
