Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se irá gostar deste livro. Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. I wish there were half stars I would give it 3.5. But,what a surprisingly good book. He did a wonderful job capturing Margret Mitchell's characters. He brought more to the story of GWTW without taking away from the story. It must be so hard to right a companion book to a classic like GWTW but he did such a better job that the last attempt "Scarlett" I have mixed feelings about this book, which is why I only gave it three stars. I enjoyed learning about Rhett's past and felt that the author stayed true to the character and to GWTW. There were two things that ruined the book for me, however. First, McCaig's portrayal of the female characters. He portrayed Scarlett as a two-dimensional shrew, Rosemary as driven only by desire for a man she couldn't have, Elizabeth Butler as weak and crazy, and Belle as one of the biggest stereotypes in media, the whore-with-a-heart-of-gold. Second, he wrote one of the most ridiculous, unlikely endings imaginable, one so stupid it would be rejected by a soap-opera. Despite all that, I think this book is worth a read, if only for the first half. What I loved about this book is that it sticks to Margret Mitchell's take on [b:GONE WITH THE WIND|18405|Gone With The Wind|Margaret Mitchell|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1166913011s/18405.jpg|3358283](which the book SCARLETT did not,) and then gives you Rhett's views and what he was feeling about the relationship between him and Scarlett in GWTW. Who knew he had a deeper character than what we fell in love with in GWTW? I am going to re read GWTW and Scarlet and than this one again! sem crÃticas | adicionar uma crÃtica

HTML: 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.

I am not sure that I would put this on my list of books to re-read at a later date though, whereas "Gone with the Wind" I've revisited multiple times. ( )
