	Alexandra of Denmark biography .ms (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Alexandra of Denmark (December 1 1844 - November 20 1925) was queen consort of King Edward VII of the United Kingdom 1901-1910.
		In many ways, Alexandra, or "Alix" as she was known within the family, may be seen as a precursor to Diana, Princess of Wales.
		Alexandra of Denmark was not her first choice, since the Danes were at loggerheads with the Prussians, and most of the British royal family's relations were German.

		She can be impatient with those whom she does not consider her intellectual equals, and will not tolerate less than the best work from all of her classmates with whom she works.
		This is not to say that she is masculine in any way, or that she denies her feminine side; she has been in relationships before, and she is a physically attractive person.
		CDT Ripley has shown that she has leadership qualities which will enable her go far in Starfleet; how far she will go will depend on whether she can learn patience and tolerance toward her fellow officers, and eventually, the officers serving under her supervision.

		The main problem is that Alexandra Ripley is not Margaret Mitchell.
		Ms Ripley is an excellent writer (and if I'll ever be happy about this whole fuss about "Scarlett", it will be because it made the author famous, so her other novels became available here) but she's a completely diferent personality.
		Ripley's novel continues with the tempestuous love affair between Rhett Butler and Scarlett O'Hara.

		B. Almost every time that Alexandra Ripley introduced a new subplot, she would either not write enough about it, or write too much and overkill the entire topic.
		Alexandra Ripley (AR) left out too many characters that were prominent in Gone With The Wind.
		Often, if a scene in Gone With The Wind was omitted, it was either because it was unnecessary or reflected badly on a character, for example the omission of Wade and Ella, the alteration of part of the Paddock scene, and the omission of the scene in which Rhett asks Scarlett to be his mistress.

		In fact, Ripley says it was the success of ``Scarlett'' that gave her the time, resources and freedom to finally write the novel she has been mulling over since she visited Glastonbury in 1973.
		Ripley is tall, stylish and 60ish with light hair that was still carefully coiffed from the television makeup session.
		For Ripley, who previously had written only Southern historical fiction, there was a lot of research to be done to understand the times of Joseph.

		And when she was an editor 25 years ago, she got her first book printed by telling a publisher she would to disclose to his wife that he was having an extramarital affair with another employee.
		Ripley said the idea for the book came to her while she was reading a biography of James Buchanan Duke, who became filthy rich and got a university named after him after forming a tobacco industry monopoly.
		Ripley said she doubts a British woman can have the background to pull off a story about a 19th-century Southern belle.

		Ripley's ultra-mega-hyped sequel to Margaret Mitchell's Gone With the Wind spent 28 weeks on PW 's bestseller list while receiving uniformly dismal notices from the critics.
		Some thirty-plus years after her untimely death, Mitchell's estate was persuaded to release the rights, and Alexandria Ripley was contracted to "finish" the story.
		Although she is writing a sequel, Ripley goes to considerable pain to prevent readers from compairing her style and her novel to Mitchell's style and her novel--and so, wisely perhaps, Ripley wastes little time in killing off Mammy and moving the action out of Georgia entirely.

		So novelist Ripley's decision to move the action to England and Ireland seems arbitrary, particularly since the politics of that time are mentioned but never integrated into the plot.
		There are nice moments: Rhett watching Scarlett sleeping, her realization she's pregnant, the beautiful scenery at her arrival in Ireland, and a heartfelt scene between Scarlett and a priest in part three.
		Starting with the publisher signing Ripley to write the novel, "Scarlett" involves a history of deal-making and pre-salespre-sales based on name recognition.

		After reading this book, I have to say that although the plot was very captivating and Ripley's writing was somewhat similar to Mitchell's, I was also very disappointed in parts of the novel.
		And Ripley has also written a number of times with characters saying phrases such as "sort of" and other modern-day slang phrases.
		Ripley has failed to grasp some of the characteristics of the infamous Scarlett O'Hara and has made a 360-degree turn of what Mitchell's Scarlett believed in.

		Scarlett, the eight-hour mini-series based on Alexandra Ripley’s best-selling sequel to Gone With the Wind, takes up precisely where that story left off, and sees Scarlett O’Hara off on a journey from Atlanta to Charleston and Savannah, to London, and to her ancestral home of Ballyhara in Ireland.
		The motive force behind the story is once again the turbulent romance between Scarlett and Rhett Butler.
		Scarlett continues what is unarguably the most celebrated story of the American cinema, with all the richness of the original and with an epic sweep that today is seen only in long-form television.
