Title: Scarlett
Product review: As a huge fan of Margaret Mitchell's classic book, "Gone With the Wind", I was eager to read her estate's follow-up to the amazing story. Upon reading Alexandra Ripley's "Scarlett", I was severely dissapointed! This book was horrible! Not only does Ripley not understand the characters created by Mitchell, but she makes no effort to mimic Mitchell's writing. Not only does Ripley begin the book by removing some of the book's most beloved characters, but she makes Scarlett act in a way that any reader of Mitchell's amazing novel knows she wouldn't. With out going in to detail and 'ruining' this dreadful book, I would like to conclude by saying if one wants a good sequel to "Gone With the Wind", read the book, also commissioned by Mitchell's estate, "Rhett Butler's People". I really enjoyed reading it.Basically, "Scarlett" was a terrible, horrible, atrocious creation. I wouldn't do it the honor of calling it a novel.
