I just finished reading this. While it did answer a LOT of questions you had in GWTW it was lacking the passion and wonderful description that GWTW had. All in all it was a good book but i guess for me nothing can top the original. I do love how it explained things like who Belle Watling's son was and what Rhett's relationship was with Belle. Oh btw it was much better than Scarlett by Alexandra Ripley.
