Chronicle In Pursuance Of 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 Regarding Books The Wind Blows Backward

My copy of this book is missing pages. The cover had come off, so I rubber banded the whole thing together. I have loved this book since I was allowed to choose from the Junior High library shelves in 5th grade (I had read all of the books in my grade's section). Such a good book. A bit intense for the younger crowds, but still so good.

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

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.

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.

Read this when I was a little younger and loved it.

I've actually read this book a ridiculous number of times. But as of today (Sept 2015), I think I can officially give away my copy and declare myself done.To this book's credit, it's a pretty accurate portrayal of what it's like to love someone with severe depression and suicidal idealization. On the other hand... it's TOO accurate a portrayal of both those things to really scratch my id-itch. The premise has a lot of promise: bookish, nerdy girl reunites with her middle school love, who

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!
