Best book about Rhett and Scarlett since Gone With The Wind

It is no wonder why it took so long to get this book created and why Margaret Mitchell's people chose McCaig to write this book, it is every bit what I would want in a book about Rhett and Scarlett. I read Alexandra Ripley's Scarlett and was greatly disappointed in that book. I was hesitant about this book and began it with harsh criticism but ended the book at 4 am because it was just too hard to put the book down. It was one of those books that once you started reading it, you were glad that it was almost 500 pages and disappointed when it ended to quickly. It is a great book and highly recommended for those who love and adored Scarlett and Rhett as I do.

Stick with it

My book club chose this book, and I wasn't particularly interested in reliving GWTW, but agreed to give it a go. I wasn't sure I was going to be able to make it after the first 1/4 of the book. It was disjointed, had no flow and really didn't compel me to keep going. Eventually, though (I'm not sure where!) the writing got better, the story got better and I ended up loving it in the end. As a stand alone book, it's quite interesting and the historical aspects are really good.

Loved It!

I understand that most people don't think that RBP meshed with Gone With The Wind, but I looked at them both in the same way; wonderful fiction that takes you to another place and time. I don't see them as non-fiction, historial books. Yes, they have some wonderful references but even Margaret Mitchell took liberties! (Unless Wesley Chapel Road was moved or renamed there is no way you could walk from Five Points to WCR in an afternoon!).

I enjoy it for what it is; a beautiful love story full of crooks and turns. It get's 10 out of 10 pink supermommie stars!!

great take on Rhett

i've been a fan of Margret Mitchell since the first time i heard someone say fiddle dee dee. this book is a great story and adds depth and meaning and Rhett's antics. i've always loved this southern gentleman and this book just adds to my delight.

Light reading without a ton of "history lessons"

Usually I'm a dedicated fantasy/sci-fi reader, but this book was recommended to me as a good read, so I put it on my Kindle. It's sort of a light trip through the background and a wrap-up of the characters in Gone With The Wind. It is, thankfully, greatly abbreviated when compared to the length of it's parent work, and another real plus, as far as I'm concerned, is that it's not a heavy recounting of every battle during the Civil War itself.

You occasionally want to slap Scarlett upside the head and give Rhett a firm kick in the butt. But the real strength of this book is the fleshing out of the other characters that appeared in GWTW. They come alive.

I don't know whether I'd suggest people to read GWTW or Rhett Butler's People first. At any rate, it is a good read...and I can't help it...I DO love a happy ending! oops! Did I ruin the book for you, or did I give you the push you needed to give it a try?!!

Fully authorized by the Margaret Mitchell estate, Rhett Butler?s People is the astonishing and long-awaited novel that parallels the Great American Novel, Gone With The Wind. Twelve years in the making, the publication of Rhett Butler?s People marks a major and historic cultural event.

Through the storytelling mastery of award-winning writer Donald McCaig, the life and times of the dashing Rhett Butler unfolds. Through Rhett?s eyes we meet the people who shaped his larger than life personality as it sprang from Margaret Mitchell?s unforgettable pages: Langston Butler, Rhett?s unyielding father; Rosemary his steadfast sister; Tunis Bonneau, Rhett?s best friend and a onetime slave; Belle Watling, the woman for whom Rhett cared long before he met Scarlett O?Hara at Twelve Oaks Plantation, on the fateful eve of the Civil War.

Of course there is Scarlett. Katie Scarlett O?Hara, the headstrong, passionate woman whose life is inextricably entwined with Rhett?s: more like him than she cares to admit; more in love with him than she?ll ever know?

Brought to vivid and authentic life by the hand of a master, Rhett Butler?s People fulfills the dreams of those whose imaginations have been indelibly marked by Gone With The Wind.
