February 24, 200817 yr Author Unless they really decimate the text, he's got an awful lot of dialogue as Rhett and often has to switch emotions within scenes.
February 24, 200817 yr Author and the book has Rhett raising one eyebrow - now who have I seen doing that to perfection? No place for the endearing lipbiting in this one though. That last made a very very brief appearance on Penny's GMTV interview with Darius.
February 24, 200817 yr Author The one that matches his bemusement/amusement and the dancing, smiling eyes?
February 24, 200817 yr Author Perfect for that bit where Scarlett describes him as looking like a bold pirate appraising a galleon to scuttle. "when I look at you that way, you feel naked"
February 24, 200817 yr I can also see the look when Rhett is looking at her as if he's trying to see something. We later find out it's because he's hoping she'll get to love him.
February 24, 200817 yr Author The film gave me the impression that Scarlett was fascinated by Rhett but didn't love him but the book seems to indicate she does, but doesn't want to admit it.
February 28, 200817 yr That's cheating. I have just got hold of it from the library. Hope I can get past the first few pages. She does write very long complex sentences.
February 28, 200817 yr well at least it should make shortening the book easier, I find a lot of books are full of waffle not needed when relating to the actual story - I am a terrible "skim" reader
February 28, 200817 yr There are long bits which could just be left out. But, Pam, nao all apart from the firs 15 and the last 10. You just don't know the dynamics of the story that way. BAD GIRL, PAM
February 28, 200817 yr Author Do you read the end of thrillers too Pam before you reach them? How do you think the nailbiter saga about the love/hate story between the media and Darius will turn out?
