Rating: 
- Inadequate in every respect
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 ...

- Its Good if you think of it as a book, and not a sequel!
I have read this book more than just a few times.I was a great fan of GWTW and thought this would be great.
I really do think its a good book. At first read its a little disappointing if you are intent on thinking of it as a continuation to Gone With the Wind.But if you read it as a book for its own worth it is really quite enjoyable!

Rating: - a review about scarlett
scarlett is without a doubt the worst sequel that was ever published.even i could write a better book.where is all this so-called research ripley did in writing this piece of drivel?she must have had an excellent vacation in visitng all those sites where her book took place.

Though I'm fairly disappointed with this book, I admit that it does have some notable strengths, which is why I gave it two stars; I'll begin with the positives before going on to the negatives.
Ripley has an excellent eye for historical detail, and these details help give the book a Mitchellesque feel, as well as ground the book in reality--as much "Mitchellesque" and "reality" as Ripley allows, but I'll get to that in a minute.In fact, at least the first chapter, if not the first 100 pages ...

Rating: - I AM LEFT UTTERLY SPEECHLESS!!!
I was always an avid reader. Classics were something I read as often as I could, "Gone With The Wind" and, unfortunately, "Scarlett" being no exception. I remember reading "Gone With The Wind" in seventh grade. I finished it in oneday and asked my mother if there was a sequel. When she answered yes, I jumped up and down and forced my mother to take me to the library to get it immediately. Little did I know that it would possibly be the worst mistake of my life so far... My first clue was the title. I've heard ... Read More
