T. Hewson "Tim" (Ottawa) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: When the Wind Blows (Acting Edition) (Paperback)

This review is for ISBN 057311496X which I bought thinking that it was the illustrated version. This book is a play adapted from the original, although you would have no way of knowing from the online description. There are many different editions of this wonderful book so be careful that you order the right one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Moving, Scary, NOT FOR CHILDREN, February 13, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: When the Wind Blows (Mass Market Paperback)

this is a well disguised scary story - it starts out all nice and gentle, and the BAM before you realize your reading about nuclear fall out. it's very very scary, and depressing.

Timely to say the least ...

we are being told to protect our homes with Plastic drop cloths and duct tape... they were told to use wooden doors... read it and start thinking.

all that being said
it's beautifully illustrated - and well worth tracking down a copy.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book MUST return to print, October 10, 2001

Jan Strnad - See all my reviews

This review is from: When the Wind Blows (Acting Edition) (Paperback)

When the Wind Blows is a classic of modern literature. It's one of the all-time best books I've ever read and it's tragic that it's been allowed to fall out of print. Get a used copy. Track it down. Look for it misfiled in the children's section...it's an illustrated book but it definitely isn't kiddie fare. When the Wind Blows is wonderful, just wonderful.
