Title: Don't waste your money!
Review: This was an unbearable book to read because it was so bad and very difficult to follow. The story doesn't flow the way it should, there's no character development, and there are too many references to Gone With the Wind.If you want to read a book that gives a portrayal of slave life, read Roots. That was a great book and, along with Gone With the Wind, a true literary classic.And as a side note for history...the KKK in the late 1800's was very different from the KKK as we recognize it to be today. And if you've read Gone With the Wind, you'll see that slaves are not portrayed as dumb. On the contrary, most are portrayed as intelligent and kind people who know how to receive their desired action from the plantation owners.The Wind Done Gone is a sham - it doesn't do anything in terms of portraying slave life on Tara, it doesn't make us sympathetic towards the slaves, and it certainly isn't worth the time and money spent!
