Criticism Out Of Books Rhett Butler's People

What was the last book that brought tears to your eyes as you finished the last page? Not due to the hero/heroines tragic death, but simply because you have finished the story? Thats how I felt after finishing Rhett Butlers People tonight.Rhett Butlers People is set around Margaret Mitchells classic novel. You meet Rhett before that fateful meeting at a Twelve Oaks picnic and the book continues to weave in and out of the well known events of GWTW. The author then takes you beyond Rhetts dramatic

I gave a similar review to "Scarlett" the sequel by Alexandra Ripley. I read this book because I (like most GWTW fans) will always thirst for more of this story even as I know that I'll never really get it. Only Mitchell can write this story, and any other attempt will always fall short. The Rhett in this book is not the calculating, capitalizing scoundrel of Mitchell's story. McCaig's Rhett is written as a misunderstood hero. This is a different man than the one I've come to understand through

You really need to read "Gone With the Wind" first in order to really appreciate this book. The author was commissioned by the estate of Margaret Mitchell to write this "parallel sequel" to GWTW, and he has kept faithful to her style. In it, we get background about Rhett's youth, his family, and many characters who are just briefly mentioned in GWTW. The story is told through Rhett's eyes. It goes through his youth, his relationship with Scarlett, and takes it past where GWTW ends and on to the

There were some fairly-long history dumps, which were interesting enough but sort of detracted from the flow. I've found a lot of spin-offs disappointing, and this one is no exception with the glossing-over of Rhett's faults, giving Scarlett a very OOC sense of humor. Worst was Melanie, who became all-knowing, in addition to being all kindness. Mostly, it underscored how good Mitchell's writing is. It gave a "happy ending" to the story, which I worked better than Scarlett and much better than

Dear Estate of Margaret Mitchell:I'm writing to request that you stop authorizing crappy prequels and sequels to Ms. Mitchell's book. Those of us who have a special fondness for the characters of Gone With the Wind find ourselves compelled to read them because of our interest in these well-developed and complex personalities. We then find ourselves appalled at how modern authors take liberties to turn her story into an implausible, uncharacteristic mess, and invariably try and put a smiley face

For fans of GONE WITH THE WIND this might be the book for you as this covers the life of Rhett Butler before he meets Scarlett and during the time they're together though it does not follow the movie so much as the novel.There's a lot more sub stories taking place than I expected especially focused upon Rhett's siblings.Readers sensitive to the horrors of American slavery may want to skip this one as there are graphic details. OVERALL GRADE: B minus.

As a borderline psychotic fan of Gone with the Wind and even the trashy sequel Scarlett, my heart was open to liking this book. Sigh. I was not happy. The title is apt; there are so many "people" in this book that it made my brain hurt. Just when I would start to get the characters straight, the author would just start killing them off. There's more blood in this thing than Saw II. This is also the kind of book where characters do things that real people never do, such as put a finger to someone
