It's a pretty good novel if you have the time. It is kind of long. The movie is not far off. What the book does is explain all the "between the lines" details you don't get from the movie. I don't have anything against it other than previously mentioned.
Starting in the late 70s when they released it for tv (was a 2-nite special event) and then Turner getting hold of it just wore it out. Then there were the bro's calling it racist and all that crap, a Civil War Movie, blah, blah, blah.
The story is Scarlett OHara and Rhett Butler. Everything else is a backdrop to and in support of that story.
