My one complaint about the book was at times the
description was lengthy. I'd get a grasp for the emotions of Scarlett that are
supposed to describe the emotions of all Southerners or the description of the
land at Tara as a representation of the rich red soil all Southerners love and
then Mitchell would go on for paragraphs or pages rehashing that feeling to
pull the most emotion out of you. It worked, but sometimes I think she could
have done so in fewer words.
