I actually read this book afterThe Firm, and I couldn't put it down.  I read it within two days.  Being from the south, I felt a connection with this book.....the characters and the setting.  As far as I am concerned this is John Grisham's best book.

My mother told me stories about seeing this movie.  When she was little the theater would play the movie over and over.  She would watch it at least two times before coming home.  There was just something about it that she loved.  It didn't hurt that Clark Gable (her favorite) was in the movie.  I grew up watching the movie, and loved the glamour of it.  It wasn't until junior high that I decided to read the book.  We didn't have Harry Potter back then, so most of us had never read a book that had over a thousand pages.  I was glued to the book.  It was my first experience with the trauma of how the "book is different than the movie".  I didn't understand why they would want to change anything about the book.  Now I know it would have been impossible to make one movie from book....three or four...but not one.  After reading the book, I learned that Margaret Mitchell did not write the book in order.  She sometimes had several chapters, but none of them connecting at any point.  Which proves that not everything has to go in a certain order to become a masterpiece.

Oh...just finished this book, and I loved it!  She is so detailed and keeps you guessing.

I actually bought this book for me and a friend.  She is doing a fantasic job with weight loss.  This book shows the humor and downside (can't eat what you want) to weight loss.  However, it also shows the reasons why it is so important!
