Book Reviews of Who Has Seen the Wind
Book Review: Who Has...Paid Money For This Book?
Summary: 1 Stars
Was forced to read this in highschool. It was the most god-awful boring book I've ever read before.
A young stupid kid playing around in the dirt on a farm while his relatives and pets die off around him. It's like following a young Forrest Gump around asking his mama a whole lot of stupid questions.
Someone in another review mentioned they like to read this to senior citizens. Another reviewer said teens and pre-teens won't like it. So why are teens forced to read this? It's just horrendous.
I'd rather memorize the "begats" in the Old Testament than read even a paragraph of this again. It will always and forever be the worst book I've ever read.
Summary of Who Has Seen the Wind
When W.O. Mitchell died in 1998 he was described as "Canada's best-loved writer." Every commentator agreed that his best - and his best-loved - book was Who Has Seen the Wind. Since it was first published in 1947, this book has sold almost a million copies in Canada.As we enter the world of four-year-old Brian O'Connal, his father the druggist, his Uncle Sean, his mother, and his formidable Scotch grandmother ("she belshes.a lot"), it soon becomes clear that this is no ordinary book. As we watch Brian grow up, the prairie and its surprising inhabitants like the Ben and Saint Sammy - and the rich variety of small-town characters - become unforgettable. This book will be a delightful surprise for all those who are aware of it, but have never quite got around to reading it, till now.
