"Deep crimson curtains open theatrically on-screen to reveal a symbol of our overheating planet. A pair of clicking high-heels then leads readers of Jane Air's innovative e-book, Gone With The Winds, through chapters graced with an enchanting array of animated graphics. The long personal narrative, elaborated in a free-verse rapping style typical of today's spoken-word poetry scene, tells the story of an errant boyfriend and various attempts to win him back (including the application of 'Emergency Warpaint'), before the author surrenders to her loss and allows her consciousness to awaken to the degraded state of our planet. With its references to aspects of youth culture, its funky graphics, word-play and down-to-earth language, this e-book feels like a medium that a younger audience would most appreciate."
