This book definitely reads differently to an adult eye than it did when I was 11. It is still very captivating and sweet, but the clear Cold War politics of it come through much more clearly. My 8-year-old loves the science fiction of it…

I chose to read "A Wrinkle in Time" (WIT) after seeing it referenced in other books I was reading. I suppose I could have read it as a child but I don't even recall it being available. I don't know if I would have anyway - I was not an…

I usually don't like science fiction, but A Wrinkle in Time is extremely well written. However, I'm only going to give it four stars. I think I had pretty high expectations going into the read due to how popular the book is, and I will say…

I will be in fifth grade this Fall. This is the first book I read during my Summer break. I really like this book because it is a sci-fi fantasy with traveling through space and has lots of adventures. My favorite part was when Meg saved…

Boring and dragged out. Character introductions within the first chapters were interesting, the Mrs were humorous, but afterwards the story became slow, repetitive and loose.

Writing this review makes me scared because it's going to be an unpopular opinion. Honestly, I didn't really care much for this book at all. Before I picked it up and the first few pages, I was pretty darn excited because of all the hype…

3 1/2 - 4 star read. This is this month's old book read and it is really old, coming from 1962. So I haven't read this for over 50 years. I enjoyed this lovely little book. Meg is an outsider, she's not as smart as the others in…

I didn’t read this book as a kid and only read it now in my 50s. I have no idea why this book is such a cherished book. I found the christian undertones insufferable, the story flat and simple. I’m clearly missing something here.

Reread this book with one of my children. Brought back memories from childhood. I remember being enthralled by the book as a child. Rereading it as an adult, with a more critical eye, was fun. I think the ending resolved so quickly and…
