2.0 out of 5 stars Don't read it, Jun 19 2004
By eileenmn "eileenmn" (NJ, United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Scarlett: The Sequel to Margaret Mitchell's "Gone With the Wind" (Mass Market Paperback)
I too succumbed to this novel, which promised a continuation of my absolute favorite book of all time, the book to which nothing ever compared. Well, I was let down. The time spent in Ireland is incredibly boring. It goes on and on and on and it's awful. As for the book itself, it's not bad. But it's got nothing on the original; absolutely NOTHING. It's easy to decide to read it, but if I could turn back time I never would have read it. Personally I think no sequel is necessary to the spectacular Gone With the Wind. It is a beautiful story that is complete the way it is. I'd rather dream sequels to the book myself than read Ms. Ripley's attempt to follow it. It's nothing against her. After all, it would've been hard for anyone to pick up, what with Melanie dead and Scarlett no longer in love with Ashley. I can almost see how it was necessary to change Scarlett beyond recognition. The first part of it, when Scarlett went to Charleston, was actually pretty interesting. But this is not a book that should have been written. As Rhett said in the last pages of GWTW, "Scarlett, I was never one to patiently pick up broken fragments and glue them together and tell myself that the mended whole was as good as new. What is broken is broken--and I'd rather remember it as it was at its best than mend it and see the broken pieces as long as I lived." Gone With the Wind ended, whether the ending was the way we wanted things to turn out or not, and this continuation is nothing but an attempt to glue pieces back together.

1.0 out of 5 stars Horribly Painful, May 6 2006
By Mary Ngo (Indianapolis) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Scarlett: The Sequel to Margaret Mitchell's "Gone With the Wind" (Mass Market Paperback)
Scarlett is only for those who want a cheap,false happy ending to GWTW. Ripley makes crude the name of Gone With the Wind. She severly lacks the charm and captivating writing ability of Margaret Mitchell. It pains me to call this book even mediocre. The situations set in this book are absurdly ridiculous and far-fetched. GWTW was a love story that was not only about Rhett and Scarlett but about the whole South and the undying devotion and pride that southerners felt toward their culture and land. Ripley shatters all of this in her book. She not only sends Scarlett to Ireland and has her have an affair with a lord, but includes a mad love scene in which Scarlett and Rhett roll around on the beach. Although Ripley deserves a curt nod for attempting to write a sequel to GWTW, GWTW was not meant to have a sequel and Scarlett is only a cheap trashy paperback replacement. True lovers of GWTW know this.

5.0 out of 5 stars LOVED IT!, April 11 2005
By A Customer
This review is from: Scarlett: The Sequel to Margaret Mitchell's Gone With the Wind (Hardcover)
I had fallen SOOO in love with Rhett and Scarlett in GWTW that I couldn't except the way things had ended. I was completely smitten with the first that I had to read the sequel. My heart ached at the fact that I had finished the book in less than a week. I didn't want the adventure to be over. Normally i would be so bored with a book that I would't want to finish it or I would become to occupied with other things to make time for completing any book. I made time for this book. I loved it! Loved it! LOVED IT!
