I have read the book three times so far & I am sure I will read it yet again in the future. The book is sooooo good. I've also seen the movie many times. I used to watch it all the time with my Mom. She is the one who got me into the movie. As I got older I was curious as to what the book was like. I thought it would be boring, but it was anything but. Now I am reading the sequel to GWTW entitled "Scarlett". I am almost finsihed with that so I ran out & baught the 3rd book called Rhett Buttler's People. As you can tell I am a big fan. Does anyone else like either the book, movie, or both?Are you a fan?

Don't bother reading Rhett Buttler's People. It is not worth your time. Here is a review I recntly wrote as to why:

I've watched the movie and read the book multiple times. My perspective has changed over the years from believing that they would get back together to believing they wouldn't. It was my mom's favorite movie. I have no interest in reading the sequel though. I'd rather leave it be.


myLot reputation of 96/100. RobsWife10706 (1037)   ranked 2 out of 38 in gone with the wind  2 months ago

I've also seen the movie & it is my all time favorite movie ever. I have watched it many times & I plan on watching it yet again.

well,i have read the book and seen the movie.i love them both!
i have seen the movie six times and finally i am really curious about the original book.i wondered would it be better than the classic film.well,the book did not fail to fasinate me.i'm deeply touched by the characters and their story.what's more,i learn to be strong minded and independent like scarlette.
and i did fall for rhette butler for a long time.
gone with the wind is really a classic and i guess i will always keep it in my heart!


myLot reputation of 96/100. RobsWife10706 (1037)   ranked 2 out of 38 in gone with the wind  2 months ago

The movie Gone with the Wind actually kept close to the same storyline as the book. Scarlett on the other hand did not. The begining of the movie is as the book was, but the end of Scarlett is nowhere's near to the original story as the book.

Gone With The Wind is one of my all time favorite movies. It may be an old film, but it is a classic! I own it on dvd. Sometimes, I just get the urge to watch this movie. We all know how it will end, but the love story between Rhett and Scarlett is so romantic. it's timeless! I have also read the book as many times as I've seen the movie. i think i prefer the movie. I just get lost in it. I can always put the book down and go back to it. Once I watch the movie, there's no turning back. I will always love this movie.


myLot reputation of 96/100. RobsWife10706 (1037)   ranked 2 out of 38 in gone with the wind  2 months ago

I know how you feel. The movie is a classic, but it is one of the best classics ever made. I too have seen it many times & I will see it many more times in the future.

I never read the book, but you give me the envy to read it. I think I saw the movie but it's so many years ago ahah Maybe I need to re-listened it!


myLot reputation of 96/100. RobsWife10706 (1037)   ranked 2 out of 38 in gone with the wind  2 months ago

If you are to read the books I suggest you only read the first two, Gone with the Wind & Scarlett. Rhett Buttler's People was a total disappointment. As for the movie Gone with the Wind you deffinately have to watch it again. It is well worth your time.

I have started both but never finished either. One day I will because it's a classic and I don't think any writer who hasn't read that book deserves the title. That may seem extreme but that's how I feel.


myLot reputation of 96/100. RobsWife10706 (1037)   ranked 2 out of 38 in gone with the wind  1 month ago

I totally agree. Good point.

I haven't read the book or watched the movie Gone with the Wind yet. I know it is quite famous. It will be in my list. My friends all read or watch it and they told me it's quite good.

It really is an excellent book. You will not be disappointed when you finally read it.

I have read Gone With The Wind, and Scarlett, but never knew that there was a 3rd book out either, and really might have to consider looking it up and either buying it, or check it out from a Library. As I Loved the movie as well as the books this teaches a lot about History that many of us would have never known about otherwise as well.


myLot reputation of 96/100. RobsWife10706 (1037)   ranked 2 out of 38 in gone with the wind  2 weeks ago

Thats a very good point. I have learned more about the civil war reading Gone with the Wind then I ever did when I was still in school.

Hello Robs Wife. I loved the movie and the book. Seen the movie so many times I can't remember. I think my favorite part of the movie is when Rhett says to Scarlett: Frankly Scarlett I don't give a damn. When I am going to watch this movie I turn off the phones, I don't want anything to disturb me. Haven't read any of the other books. I am a fan of the Movie. I did love the book some things that was in the book wasn't in the movie though. Oh well that is the way it always is though. Have a great day!thumbup


myLot reputation of 96/100. RobsWife10706 (1037)   ranked 2 out of 38 in gone with the wind  2 weeks ago

I am the same way...LOL. Whenever I watch the movie I don't want anyone to bother me. I make sure to silence my phone as well.


myLot reputation of 93/100. free_man (508)   ranked 17 out of 38 in gone with the wind  2 weeks ago

I loved that movie I wish they still made movies like that instead of all the violence in the movies today. They have some out now I wouldn't watch I wouldn't waste my money on these types of movies they make today. But then we do love the western channel.


myLot reputation of 96/100. RobsWife10706 (1037)   ranked 2 out of 38 in gone with the wind  5 days ago

I know exactly what you mean. It seems the only movies they come out with today are either filled with violence or are horror movies. I remember when I used to go to the movies all the time, now I hardly ever go anymore. There's nothing out there I want to see.


myLot reputation of 93/100. free_man (508)   ranked 17 out of 38 in gone with the wind  5 days ago

When they made gone with the wind they made a great movie. I can't understand some of the stuff they come out with these days. I like the westerns. We have several westerns that is about the only types of movies we even think about buying.

myLot reputation of 96/100. RobsWife10706 (1037)   ranked 2 out of 38 in gone with the wind  2 weeks ago

I lost count just how many times I've seen the movie & as for the book I've read it at least three times.
