• "Rhett Butler's People is only half-awful. Which is another way of saying that half of this new, authorized sequel to Margaret Mitchell's Gone With the Wind is pretty good." -USA Today

• "McCaig's a decent writer, and the plot is better than middling. But he's missed the point about Scarlett." -Entertainment Weekly
