Yes, it is worth reading and more than once. Maybe every 5 years or so. I read it after seeing the movie and the movie pretty much follows the book. Both are classics.
Yes I have and really enjoyed it but I loved the sequel Scarlett written by a totally different author even better. Wow it tied up loose ends and was sympathetically written in reference to the nuances of the characters’ personality traits. Very skilfully done. 🙂
Yes & YES! I read it first when I was 11 as a challenge from someone older who said I was too young to read it. I won the challenge & have read it a number of times since. LOVVVVE IT!! (Still have never seen the movie from beginning to end though.)
I absolutely loved it. Not too historically accurate, but Scarlett is one of the best literary women I have ever read. And the transformation she went through was great to read. Plus Rhett is an amazing curr but lovable at the same time
It’s a very romanticized look at antebellum Southern life–meaning that all of the inconvenient pain of the slaves were excised. If you read this book then please also read some fiction that takes a harder look at the reality of the time.
I first read this when I was 17 and have loved it ever since. (I’m now 64 lol). My copy is tattered and torn….but I can dip into it at random and instantly be transported….
Definitely! Indubitably! Without question! Yes!!!! The first time I read it was before final exams my senior year in high school. I stayed up until 2:00 AM (when that wasn’t the norm) in order to finish. Did okay on the finals.
Started it in 7th grade – struggled to finish. Read it again in 9th grade – loved it. It takes a bit to get into it, since the first 50 pages are a lot of setting and character exposition, but after that, its pretty smooth sailing. I must confess, Rhett Butler was one of my first character crushes. ?? lol
I have! It’s a brilliantly penned book. Power on! You will be enriched by the experience.
Is reading a beloved timeless classic novel worth it??? Yes, it most definitely is!

Oh, a must read! Remember a few years ago they wanted to ban the book and the film because of the (excuse me) racist overtones.
One of my favorites, read it several times.
I loved it! It was one of the first books I read that kept me up until the wee hours.
Loved it there was a follow up called Scarlett not by the same author but it was quite good

A beloved classic for 80 years, published in 1937.
Yeah there’s a LOT of stuff that was left out of the movie that I think really adds to Scarlet’s story and makes me sympathize with her more.
Yes, very worth the read.
Yes, it is worth reading.
definitely
Love it!!!!
Yes

Definitely worth reading. So much better than the movie.
Yes, of course!

Well, it was written a long time ago, when there were different tastes and expectations – it’s a bit dated. But it is worth reading.
Absolutely!
