Summary: No Promises in the Wind Book Review
Review: The Novel No Promises in the Wind was an interesting and captivating book, but it had it's faults. I am normally a fan of historical fiction and this book is no exception. The author did a wonderful job incorporating fact into the fictional story line. The author also does a good job describing the characters. There are also several downsides to this book. The author often gets so involved with the characters that she does not describe the setting. The plot of the book is also very predictable. This was a good book. I hope there is a sequal!

Summary: No Promises in the Wind is a Promising Book
Review: Overall I liked No Promises in the Wind because of the interesting character descriptions and Irene Hunt's excellent writing techniques. The plot was exciting enough to keep my attention until the end when it was far too predictable. I really didn't like the setting either because it was so depressing. i think the book could fairly receive four stars.

Summary: A Slow Moving, Boring Book
Review: No Promises In The Wind contained no promises for an extravagent ending. The slow-moving book based its theme on the depression and told its story of two boys struggling to survive. It dragged from tragedy to tragedy each time with the boys receiving a stroke of luck, with an all too fairy-tale like ending. Unless you have a passion for historical fiction, I wouldn't recommend this book.

Summary: An extremely boring book
Review: "No Promises in the Wind" was an unrealistic, overextended story that makes regular historical fiction look bad. Its predictable tale about two teens during the Depression seemed to be sculpted out of fluff and too much good luck. The way the two of them always seemed to run into opportunity was annoying after a while, when they found jobs and were able to get food, and I really didn't like the story.

Rating:
Summary: Not too Great, Not too Bad
Review: I thought that "No Promises in the Wind" was a pretty good book. There were a lot of interesting and entertaining parts. The book kept flowing. There weren't and parts where nothing was happening. I dislike historical fiction but this was an exception. The author had more of a story than a history textbook. The book teaches the reader a lesson. It's just like a fable.

Rating:
Summary: superbly written
Review: This book is not your typical teenage pulp trash. It is the beautifully written story of two boys and their fight to survive during the Great Depression. The story will make you think and stay with you forever. I ought to know. I first read it 20 years ago, and I continue to reread it with great pleasure.

Summary: No promises made for No Promises
Review: No Promises in the Wind was definitely a very well written book. Unfortunately, being an average teenager, I did not enjoy this book at all. It was long and drawn out. Plus, it did not have a decent ending. I recommend this book if you have a lot of free time, but not if you need to choose a good one.

Rating:
Summary: A Great Book
Review: This book was excellent. I can't even describe it. It tells the story of two teenager's life during the Great Depression. I read it in my class and if you are a student, recommend it to your teacher. If you are a teacher, make your class read it. It's great.

Summary: No Promises in the Wind was terrific!
Review: This book was exciting, sad, and romantic. It is about a boy struggling in the depression and facing death, love, povery, and survival. The ending was so good that my heart was ready to burst! I loved it! There should be a sequel. I reccomend this book and The Lottery Rose also by Irene Hunt.
