I have to be very delicate with this review, as this book was a lovely gift from my family due to their knowledge of my deep love for "Gone with the wind".
That being said, this novel has a very slow start. The character development felt forced as if I may have a pop quiz later trying to recall all...

I ordered Rhett Butler's People a couple of weeks ago because I am a huge fan of Gone With The Wind and was eager to get some more insight into the story. The book was billed as Rhett's side of the novel which is pretty much every GWTW fan's dream.
Unfortunately, Rhett Butler's People is a boring and...

RHETT BUTLERS PEOPLE
by Donald McCaig
This story is based on Margaret Mitchell's Gone With the Wind, (my all time favorite book, by the way.) It tells Rhett Butler's side of the story; starting with his childhood, and going a few years beyond where GWTW ended.
There are other GWTW characters in the story, Scarlett O'Hara of course, and also including Ashley and Melanie Wilkes, and Belle Watling. We are also introduced to new characters, which include Rhett's sister Rosemary, Belle's son Tazewill, and Rhett's childhood friend and former slave Tunis.
Though I won't rank this book as one of my all... review »

I haven’t read Margaret Mitchell’s Gone With the Wind, but I have seen the movie (I know, *scoff*). I acknowledge that there are probably significant differences between the book and movie but in a way it worked in my favor. It allowed there to be a number of surprises in Rhett Butler’s People.
Somewhat to my surprise, I really enjoyed Rhett Butler’s People! It was cool to gain insights as to Rhett’s youth. At certain points, familiar events would pop up that would make me smile. For example, Rhett is waiting on a train and has a conversation with a friend:

I love Gone With the Wind and was really excited when I heard this book was going to be published. The premise of this book is to give the reader a more detailed look at Rhett Butler's life and relationships. I wanted to know more about Rhett Butler because not much is told about him in the book. This paints a more human picture of him. It shows that he was more than a blockade runner or an unacceptable person. This shows that he was a loving, caring person who often did things for other people in ways they didn't even realize. Another thing this book did was to show more about Belle Watling, the...

I got this by accident because I forgot to decline my monthly book club offers. Well I had it for months and went through all my other books when I decided I may as well try to read it since I didn't have anything else in yet.
I never read Gone With The Wind but now I can't wait to find my copy to read the other side of the story. This story was very touching and sad and happy all at the same time. You will find yourself lost in the goings on of Rhett. I was rivited by his tale.
