Book Description
The timeless tale continues... The most popular and beloved American historical novel ever written, Margaret Mitchell's Gone With the Wind is unparalleled in its portrayal of men and women at once larger than life but as real as ourselves. Now bestselling writer Alexandra Ripley brings us back to Tara and reintroduces us to the characters we remember so well: Rhett, Ashley, Mammy, Suellen, Aunt Pittypat, and, of course, Scarlett. As the classic story, first told over half a century ago, moves forward, the greatest love affair in all fiction is reignited; amidst heartbreak and joy, the endless, consuming passion between Scarlett O'Hara and Rhett Butler reaches its startling culmination. Rich with surprises at every turn and new emotional, breathtaking adventures, Scarlett satisfies our longing to reenter the world of Gone With the Wind, and like its predecessor, Scarlett will find an eternal place in our hearts.
Customer Reviews:
Better than Gone with the Wind.......2007-08-28
This book is well-researched, packed with one adventure after the next, and has more likable characters than Gone with the Wind. Scarlett turns into a grown-up who actually might deserve Rhett Butler. Definitely worth the read.
This book sucks.......2007-08-27
This book is way too long, and the plot is slow, boring, and pointless. Scarlett is reduced to chasing Rett and never having him, with some pit-stops with the O'Hara's in Ireland, and the Robillards in Charleston (or somehwere in the American South, but who cares, really). I love Gone With the Wind and have read it dozens of times. I struggled to get through this book once. Ripley's descriptions of characters, places, events, etc. can't hold a candle to Mitchell's, and she embarasses herself by trying. The worst part is that in some parts of the book, the narration switches inexplicably between first-person and third-person. Why? What editor let this happen?
Alexandra Ripley should be ashamed of herself--at least proofread when you're writing a sequel to Margaret Mitchell's masterpiece.
A Perfect Book.......2007-08-23
I have waited to long to review this book. I received this book when I was 17 years old and have read and reread it time and time again. I have been a huge fan of Gone with the Wind since I was a very young girl, I remember trying to read the GWTW when I was 5, and finally at the age of 10 could get thru it, I read it at least 7 times. I also have a great love for the "South" and the history of lives before, during, and after the "war". In all that, I have read many different kinds of books on the south in all genres.
If you love the South & the Victorian Era, and want a fantastic read this is it. If you think this author is trying to write like Margaret Mitchell you will be sorely disappointed. The two authors are very different in their writing styles and both have different ideas when it comes to plots (this is NOT Gone With the Wind). If you severely compare them both you will miss out on a wonderfully written book. This author has definitely done her homework on the Southern Culture, Ireland, England, and has totally captured the Victorian Era that Scarlett goes into.
This book is basically about Scarlett shedding some, but not all of her "Southern Bell symbolism". She becomes a remarkable woman, in all the experience and wisdom she has gained thru the years. As she becomes a woman, and looses the selfish, childish ways that she had before, she travels outside of the shelled life she has lead. The travels that you go on with her (if you let it) will be a great escape for you the reader.
There is a great part in the book where she has a portrait painted of herself, this is the part where you Know she has completely grown up and has become "A Great Lady"......... she still has that spark we all love, and Southern charm, but this time she knows how to control and use it. In Europe, instead of being treated like an outcast for her personality and "vivaciousness", she is celebrated for it. They just polish her up a bit.
Alexandra has done her homework on the Victorian Era very well, and it's fascinating to see Scarlett charm all of the Aristocracy in England and Ireland. When she is in Ireland the author captures in wonderful detail life in that era, you really will feel like you are there. This is also a very easy and fluent read. It keeps you wanting to know more, and is hard to put down. Please don't compare it to Margaret Mitchell's very "Classic" writing style, just read it as a beautifully written book.
The ending is exiting, a real page turner.
It should not be categorized in a "Harlequin Romance" category. I am very insulted by that comment from another reader. I have read many romances both in many styles and genres this is NOT written in that type of style at all.
I would give this a chance and be very open minded, you will enjoy it.
Nice Harlequinn fluff, but not a sequel to a classic.......2007-08-03
Alexandra Ripley's Scarlett is a very nice historical romance novel, but it not in the same leauge as Gone With the Wind. Ripley tries to pick up a well known American classic and end it happily, but fans of the BOOK (as opposed to the movie) with be very disappointed.
Ripley's book begins with Scarlett, now a social pariah in Atlanta, attending Melanie Wilkes funeral. She realizes she doesn't have a friend in the world, and after waiting for Rhett to return, she decides to confront him at his mother's house in Atlanta. Scarlett then chases desperately after Rhett through half of the book, while Ripley describes all aspects of life and culture in Charleston. Rhett scorns Scarlett time after time. After one last failed attempt, Scarlett runs away to Savannah and meets her Irish O'Hara cousins, then she decides to visit Ireland and the rest of her "kin". In Ireland, Scarlett discovers she is pregnant, and worse still, Rhett has divorced her and married a Melanie Wilkes look alike. Scarlett makes a new life for herself in Ireland: she buys an entire Irish town and estate, becomes the most popular and beautiful jewel of Anglo-Irish snobbery, and totally morphs into a devoted mother of her daughter, Cat. Happily, Rhett's wife dies and Rhett finds Scarlett and his child in Ireland and declares that they belong together, sailing around the world as "rebels, blockade runners, and adventurers".
If Scarlett and Rhett weren't the characters of this book, I would like it. It is good historical romance. But Ripley totally changes the personalities of Scarlett and Rhett into characters Mitchell would laugh at. Scarlett is supposed to be selfish, childish, and shallow, but Ripley turns her into a typical romance novel heroine: strong, beautiful, and loving. Rhett is dark, complicated, and cruel, but in this book he is tired, passive, and reformed.
The plot also isn't true to GWTW. Scarlett gives away her beloved Tara to Suellen when she realizes "it doesn't matter anymore"! The main drive behind Scarlett was always to hold on to Tara! Rhett respected Melanie, but he would never marry someone like her! (And what self-respecting lady would marry a divorced reprobate like Rhett?) The whole Ireland concept is ridiculous, as Scarlett scorned Atlanta's social rules, let alone stricter British etiquette. Charleston accepts Rhett and Scarlett despite the mess they made of their lives in Atlanta, Rhett develops an interest in growing flowers, and all of the beloved characters from GWTW are non-existent. If it weren't for their names, you wouldn't know you were reading a sequel to Gone With the Wind!
Romantic fans of the movie who always wanted Rhett to come back to Scarlett will probably love this book. But as for the literary fans, this book is a definite pass. Don't pollute your minds with this "new" version of Scarlett and Rhett! Remember them as they are supposed to be, lost, broken, and SEPERATE.
No classic. Still worth the read........2007-07-17
This book was very well written. Ripley is obviously no Mitchell but I don't believe she deserves the raw criticism of people who've only read the book in order to justify their prejudiced opinions of a novel written by someone other than Margret Mitchell. If you are willing to allow for the fact that this book is not by Mitchell, and read it with a neutral mindset, you may be presently surprised.
If you are worried about reading the book after viewing the awful made for t.v. movie, please don't allow the movie to act as a deterrent.
Book Description
THE ASSASSIN
A cold and emotionless killer for whom every soul has a price, even his own, embarks on a path to find out just how high that price can be.
THE MERCENARY
A dark elf of limitless guile dares to challenge a king, and carve for himself a place in the inhospitable World Above.
ILNEZHARATA and TAZMIKELLA are ancient dragons of great power, accustomed to easily manipulating the humans around them. But not all humans are so easily led. When they pushed Entreri and Jarlaxle into the heart of the Bloodstone Lands, not even they could have imagined the strength of the human assassin's resolve, or the limitless expanse of the drow mercenary's ambition.

With all due respect..........2007-09-22
First of all, I would like to state clearly that RA Salvatore is not only one of the main fantasy genre-defining writers of our time but also my favorite fantasy author. This makes it even more disappointing when he concludes such an original, exciting, and entertaining trilogy as "The Sellswords" with what can best be described as a dull thud.
In the first two books of the series we encounter the unlikely duet of Jarlaxle and Artemis Entreri who embark upon exciting, suspenseful, and often humorous adventures. There is the appealing dynamic of two lone mercenary souls who slowly come to terms with their need to find something greater than themselves. RA Salvatore weaves kindness and compassion into their dark hearts like only he can.
Jarlaxle and Entreri journey to better themselves in their own unique way. For Jarlaxle, he must pit his insurmountable desire to build his own empire against the safety of his companions and the good of the surface realm. Entreri's personal journey leads him to discover that we all need friends despite our past dark deeds and solitude.
The success of this literary formula is the contrast of each protagonist's dark past with their increasingly compassionate nature. They are often presented with the difficult choices of selfish versus selfless opportunity, to be gained in solitude or companionship.
While it was difficult to wait six months for this final book's release, I would have happily waited an extra year for Salvatore to find the right ingredients to conclude the "Sellswords" trilogy. Unfortunately, he chose to create a simple and typical fantasy scenario that invoked little of the narrative or character subtlety and finesse that he is so renowned for. Too many times, he simply overlayed the more established character of Drizzt on the quite different characters of Jarlaxle and Artemis, portraying them as do-gooders escaping unkind forces and struggling to help others, rather than the more accurate portrayal of selfish and ruthless mercenaries who grow weary of their own ways and seek something different and novel i.e. compassion and good (which in my mind drove the success of the first two "Sellswords" books)
My Verdict: Forget this book and make up your own ending for the fun pair of Jarlaxle and Artemis. Salvatore rushes it and disappoints with his half-hearted attempt to conclude a really good series with mediocre characterization and adventure.
Three stars only because it's Salvatore. Even when disappointing, he's still better than most fantasy authors.

wasn't his best.......2007-09-20
I found that this book wasn't as good and lacked something as his other books. It seemed kinda of rushed with no real point. I have read pretty much everything Salvatore has written and have liked everyone so far except this one..good thing it was the third book instead of the first.
Excellent Book.......2007-08-08
This is what Salvatore excels at - portraying the inner journey. This book completes the journey Artemis & Jarlaxle began with Servant of the Shard, and really picks up speed with the Promise of the Witch-King, where a certain magical item really becomes the lynchpin for Artemis doing some in-depth soul searching.
I enjoyed this book immensely. It picks up right where Promise of the Witch-King left off, with them in the Bloodstone Lands. Without giving away spoilers, this storyline ends and takes another turn, but this time it's one of Artemis' choosing... at the end we learn about Artemis' past and how/why he became the man he is.
There was a strong cliff-hanger in this book, which was resolved, and a couple of the subplots were very strong. This book has intrigue, character development, some action, but what it lacks in raw fight scenes (which get repetitive after awhile) it makes up for in other areas.
Highly recommended.
A little deeper into the past of Artemis..........2007-07-21
Here in the third book of the Sellsword's Trilogy, we finally get a glimspe of what made Artemis Entreri turn into such a cold killer. However, I was a little dissapointed, as things seemed to happen without any reason or consequence, and the ending was a little disapointing to me, for reasons I cannot name unless I give away the ending, but the hints of things to come make up a little for the letdown this book brings. The two previous books were much better.
Still, Salvatore is a great writer, and newcomers to his writings would want to start with the Icewind Dale series in order to understand everything better(although the Icewind Dale Series isn't as good as my personal favorite:The Legacy of the Drow).
best one of new trilogy.......2007-05-30
i find myself enjoying this one most of all out of his latest efforts this is an exceptional read it makes me want to read more thoe so sadly i have to wait but great book highly suggest it to any salvatore fans
Book Description
It seemed too good to be true....When marauding ships attack the Andromeda Ascendant, the Andromeda crew, desperate to save their ship, slipstream to a world called Festival, which fends off their mysterious attackers and welcomes the crew with open arms. The crew couldn't be happier. Festival wishes to join the Commonwealth, and, as its name implies, is a safe haven, a perfect place for relaxing and indulging in life's finer pleasures.But there's something not quite right about Festival. Captain Dylan Hunt is suspicious of the large number of armed soldiers who are ostensibly providing security for their visit. And when his crew finds a big underground bash, the revelers seem more tense than happy. Dylan and crew uncover a diabolical scheme seething beneath the planet's utopian faade: Festival's planetary government is really a powerful militant regime bent on forcing neighboring worlds to join the new Commonwealth against their own volition.Before the Andromeda crew can do anything about Festival's strong-arm tactics, they receive a distress call from a renowned peace ambassador whose ship is being attacked by space pirates. In a bloody battle, Dylan and his crew defeat the attacking pirates. After the smoke clears, they learn from the ambassador the rulers of Festival don't just want to join the Commonwealth . . . they want to rule it! Suddenly, Festival seems like the Andromeda's worst nightmare. Captain Hunt and the crew have their hands full escaping from the clutches of Festival's power-hungry government, and trying to keep the peace within the Commonwealth.

A Solid Read, But Not Perfect.......2005-07-04
"The Attitude of Silence" was a decent Andromeda tie-in novel, and certainly much better than the travesty that was the previous one ("Through The Looking Glass"). "The Attitude of Silence" was better researched, had a story that fit well into the timeline (it seems to take place between the late Season One episodes "It Makes A Lovely Light" and "Its Hour Has Come `Round At Last"), and the characterisation for the most part was pretty solid. This isn't to say that there weren't a few problems-Trance's looking at probabilities was a little too mathematical, Rev Bem did little besides pray a lot, and Mariotte didn't differentiate enough between the personalities of Rommie and the Andromeda AI and hologram. While the research was there for the most part, Mariotte seems to have overlooked the fact that Vedrans are blue and have four legs, and are decidedly not human, and that Sani Nax Rifati was a Vedran who lived some 5800 years previous (yes, this is a fairly important plot point). There are a few other nitpicks that distracted (which the editor should have caught), but none of them were glaring beyond the Vedran one. Overall, "The Attitude of Silence" was a pretty solid read that captured the spirit of the show, even though it may not be quite the love-letter to the show and its fans that "Waystation" was.
Book Description
How do people practice religion in their everyday lives? How do our daily encounters with people who hold different religious beliefs shape the way we understand our own moral and spiritual selves? In Heaven's Kitchen, Courtney Bender takes a highly original approach to answering these questions. For more than a year she worked in New York City as a volunteer for a nonprofit, nonreligious organization called God's Love We Deliver, helping to prepare home-cooked meals for people with AIDS. Paying close attention to what was said and not said, Bender traces how the volunteers gave voice to their moral positions and religious values. She also examines how they invested their conversations, and mundane activities such as cooking, with personal meaning that in turn affected how they saw their own spiritual lives. Filled with vibrant storytelling and rich theoretical insights, Heaven's Kitchen shows faith as a living practice, reshaping our understanding of the role of religion in contemporary American life.

Intriguing Study.......2007-08-13
What a wonderful book. Nicely written; thoughtful; and insightful. Professor Bender of Columbia University spent months observing the actions, conversations, and ideas of volunteers and workers at God's Love We Deliver in New York. What she found abounded in ironies about religion and spirituality in the everyday lives of people. Dr. Bender found that an organization with "God" in the title actually had very little overt conversation about God; Dr. Bender found that volunteers brought spiritual feelings to their work, often in the silences and quiet times of the labor. This is a fabulous book about religion in everyday life and how people make sense of their spiritual lives in various means. Recommended for all scholars of religion in America and for those interested in spirituality and volunteer organizations.
