such a dissapointment.

Revisado: 06-26-21

If you feel like being dragged along some womans midlife crisis for 20 hours this book is for you! the story had so much potential overall to be very interesting, cut out all of the winey soul searching that goes on for hours and it would be a lovely read.

A passionate love story

Revisado: 05-01-19

really great read, but it is a bit dry at times. lots of musings from a post WWI generation, and occasionally, quite political.

A gruesome tale filled with passion, lust, hate, and bitter remorse. you won't be able to stop listening I promise you that.

Misery take me!

Revisado: 03-26-19

What a terrifyingly sad novel. I will never again enjoy the feel of the sun against my skin, nor the song of a bird on a warm summer's day. A novel filled with sorrow and genius, misery, and passion. It is no surprise Marry Shelly's "Frankenstine" had stood the test of time and will be enjoyed by many for years to come. Truly cathartic, and what a marvelous performance by the narrator in this audio version. 10/10 would reccomend!

A wonderful read

Madaline Miller writes beautifully! Such a lovely story, would reccomend 10/10. Her use of simile and metaphor is reminiscent of the ancient Greek and Roman poetry she reiterates. The story line is accurate, and she takes every opportunity to elaborate on different myths while staying the course on Circe's narrative. I simply cannot wait to start "Song of Achilles" (also by Madeline Miller.) She is a top notch author!

a bandaid

Revisado: 02-26-19

This book was purely commissioned to put a bandaid on the gaping wound that was left on all of our hearts after reading Gone with the wind. The author does a marvelous job trying to mimic Ms. Mitchell's writing style, beautiful use of alliteration, similes, rapid scene changes and so on. However, her depiction of Scarlett leaves much to the imagination. I do not know this woman. I know her history, the choices she has made in the past, but this is not how I would have envisioned her future has Ms. Mitchell released a sequel in her lifetime. It is more of a discovery journey for Scarletts character, which was fun, dont get me wrong. I wouldn't really reccomend it, however, if you are a fan of Gone with the wind as a novel. I feel like at some point the author was just having a contest with herself to make the book as thick as its predecessor, as there is alot of mindless filler. I feel like the main cry from other readers (just from reading reviews) is that "we need more Rhett" and I am here to tell you that these reviews are wholeheartedly correct, and this is not the novel you seek for him. While it does provide some closure, I feel that Ms. Mitchell intended the origional book to end as it did. I am but weak mortal and had to find out "what happens next" so I sought the comfort of this novel, not written by the infamous author of Gone with the Wind, but by a stranger and "authorized by the Mitchell estate." Give it a go if you have the time, by all means. All I am saying Is googling the plot of the book would probably suffice, rather then spending however much on buying the book and suffering through 37 hours as I did.
