Explanation To Books The Wind Blows Backward

I'm giving this five stars, not for how I might read it now, but for how I read it in sixth grade. Spencer? SWOON. Like, five-stars swoonerific. Be still my eleven-year-old heart. Seeing this book also makes me think I need to start laying off making fun of the Twilight tweens. As far as obsessive, co-dependent love goes, Stephanie Meyer's characters pale (hahaha, pun) in comparison. But seeing this book makes me realize that I did indeed find that terribly romantic when I was a tween, so I need to stop being so crotchety about these things. Plot is simple: moody, swoonerific bad-boy track star Spencer falls in love with shy, insecure, bookish Lauren. (SWOON) Spencer rescues Lauren from bullying classmates. (SWOON) Lauren rescues Spencer from his darker side. (SWOON) And they have sex. Lots and lots of sex. (TRIPLE SWOON) I think this might have been my first sex scene. Aw. If you don't count Flowers in the Attic. And honestly, no one should count Flowers in the Attic. I honestly can't say what it would be like reading this book as an adult. But I'm swooning just thinking about it. Did I mention there's sex???? *Update* Having now re-read this book for the first time since I was eleven, all I can think is WHAT kind of morose, twisted eleven year old was I to think this was romantic??? DEAR GOD. I'm standing by my rating, because I remembered it as a 5-star book, but dear God. DEAR GOD. Twilight looks positively healthy next to this.

Evaluation Containing Books The Wind Blows Backward

This book was an eye opening book to me. I can't explain why exactly, but I know that when I read this after renting it from the library I was so engrossed that I waited until the library put it in the book sale they were having and I bought it. I was meant to read and own this book. I read it at least 5 or 6 times in the few years following my original read in high school. I could not believe the freedom the girl received and the fact that they both put themselves out on a limb for each other.

As a middle school student, I came to own a copy of this book. After reading and loving it, I promptly passed it to all of my friends. Today, my copy is yellowed, creased, and close to falling apart. I read it again recently, revisiting Lauren and Spencer and their high school romance. While my reading interests have matured, there is still something that plays on the introverted bookworm in me and draws me in, making me want to be Lauren so that I can have a Spencer, too.

Honestly the only thing I can say is this is, and always will be, my favorite book. I can never get pass the beauty and ingenuity of this book. This book is the equivalent of a gateway drug introducing me to my new life, obsession, and passion.

The Wind Blows Backward, by Mary Downing Hahn, is about a girl named Lauren and a boy named Spencer who fall in two very different social classes. Lauren and Spencer used to be best friends until Spencer became popular their freshman year and changed completely. He became the Prince of the Jocks and stopped talking to Lauren. It wasnt until their senior year when they bumped into each other, that Spencer wanted her in his life again. It turned out that Spencers life wasnt really as perfect and

Hum...Goodreads doesn't have a lot to say about this one, does it? Most people rate it 4-5 stars, and I admit I was once a great lover of this book. When it was first published, I was around Lauren's age. Now, I'm a year younger than her mom. Really puts things into perspective. I had my own copy for over a decade, but traded it on Paperback Swap a few years ago. I saw this tattered copy when I was browsing the library shelves last week, and was flooded with a tidal wave of book nostalgia. I had

"The Wind Blows Backward" by Mary Downing Hahn came highly recommended and it's one of the best book recommendations I've ever received. Though it's been published more than twenty years ago and is now out of print, it isn't outdated by any stretch. To the contrary-it seamlessly fits into current times.

This is the book that changed it all!! I used to HATE reading, but after i read this i can't stop! This book is great. The story draws you in and keeps you wrapped up in the lives of the people telling the story. You can't put it down!
