Frankly, this is a Gone with the Wind Pitch

Gone with the Wind, a love story really ambiguously about love, set in good ole' Georgia during a fun notorious four years called: The Civil War. This is why you should read it... 

Sam, I'm not sure if you've seen the movie, but I know you got pretty far into the book.. before you quit. Whether you've seen the movie or not, the film is so different from the book and the book was just so entrancing, you might as well read it. 

Scarlet O'Hara should be really hard to relate with. She's a girl who will flirt with your boyfriend, manipulates people who love her, has a one track mind, is shallow, obsessed with wealth,  undervalues true friendship, and at times seems only concerned with her stomach. But who does this sound like? Why, she's an extraverted Katniss Everdeen! Nah, but I gotta try. 

Anyway, for all of her faults, Scarlet is so unconventional that she can be so freaking hilarious at times, and the way that Margaret Mitchell writes, the way that Scarlet thinks is so relatable.

The way her brain processes things makes so much sense. You just get it. When she's worried or anxious, or analyzing a person, it's just that it feels human. It takes her to the next level and makes her something more than just some book character, something vital. She could be real, because she can think.

As it's difficult not to relate to Scarlet, or at least understand her, you don't have a heart if you don't feel sympathetic towards the dashing Rhett Butler, or if you don't absolutely adore Melanie and her heart of gold. The characters you are supposed to like you love and the characters you are supposed to dislike you hate.  

The book is so descriptive. From every house on Peachtree Street to every button Rhett Butler ever wore, it's explained and it just colors the story. It's readable. 

Gone with the Wind so emotional and potent. You can't be angry at any of the characters, because whatever they feel, you feel, even if it's stupid or unreasonable. 

I felt that at the end Scarlet should have been ninety, not in her twenties. Ashley, Rhett, and Scarlett's reflections on life before the war seem so far off and dreamy, full of ghosts and dead values. I felt like I was ninety and reflecting on my  past. 

Gone with the Wind was a great reading experience. So colorful and spectacular. So full of passion and emotion. You need to read it. 

This wasn't really a review, so I hope there weren't any spoilers, it was more of a pitch, which is my excuse for why it's so short.  

Oh! And I'm glad you liked those web series. I wanted to read your post so bad. But I don't want to spoil anything. You better swap the first Heroes of Olympus with me. See you soon!
