Summary: It's not worth it
Review: I think that A Wrinkle in Time is an O.K. book. I don't think I would recommend it though. If you like science-fiction books, this book would be perfect for you. It is about a family who has no idea where 'the man of the house' is. They haven't seen him in 2 years. So, the children, Meg and Charles Wallace, go 'tessering' to another galaxy in search for him. They are joined by 3 strange ladies and a hometown boy named Calvin. This book will take you in and ot of outer-space and will introduce you to some pretty unique characters. Even though I didn't really like this book, it doesn't mean that you won't.

Summary: *~ Don't bother ~*
Review: A Wrinkle In Time wasn't the best book that I've read. And I wouldn't recommend it. Although I didn't like the book, some of the parts were a little good. The story is about a girl named Meg Murry who hasn't seen her father in 2 years. So her, her little brother (Charles Wallace), and a local boy named Calvin go and search for him. They spend most of their time on a planet called Camazotz. On the way there are many obstacles they have to go around. But some of the obstacles they get stuck in and have to make their way out. Overall I didn't really like the book.......but you might.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It was a dark and stormy night.
Review: So there, that's where that ever famous phrase originated. I could be wrong, but other than Charlie Brown that's where it became famous. A great way to start a inspired book. This is no kiddie book, more like a book that doesn't need explaining. It's depth is apparent as soon as you get to Charles Wallace making hot chocolate. The story revolves around kids of famous parents who are trying to live without their father who mysteriously disappears and hasn't been seen...for a long time. That's the basis, and that's the journey these characters go through with help from an inexplicably odd encounter with an odd woman on a scary night. It goes strange from there, and manages to unravel itself by the end. This book scared the dickens out of me. The dark and unescapable evil that lurks forebodingly somewhere on every other page till it's entrance at the end thrills you as you keep up with the scientific chatter and boggling riddles the characters solve as they sweep through zones and dimensions and meet characters mystical and biological. It's the best of science fiction and can be passed off as fantasy when all it really is is a character drama about people we can relate to trying to find their deepest desires and true selves.

I never get tired of this book. It never fails to creep out or fascinate, let alone keep one hinged on the page. It's a weird place to be caught inbetween a dark and stormy night and a wrinkle in the dimension of time.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Greatest Children's book
Review: I read this book as a child...it was one of the best books I ever read, and now I give it to all my nieces, nephews, and young friends. Every young person should have the opportunity to read this gem.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: my favorite book
Review: A WRINKILE IN TIMEThis book was very thrilling and was funny. I thought it was cool and I like the way the W's strech their words so they would sound like they were intelligent. They wanted IT destroyed and the dark thing that was shadowing earth. I highly recommend this book. It is excellent.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A WRINKLE IN TIME Review
Review: The book A Wrinkle In Time was OK. It had some exciting parts,but some boring ones, too. We think that IT should have died. It ended too fast. The author should have told more about what happened to the Mrs. Ws. What we liked about the novel was the creativity. Some parts seemed too made up, but basically the whole book was good.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A WRINKLE IN TIME IS A GREAT BOOK
Review: This book is an awesome novel! It is exciting, and emotionally deep at most of the parts. It really made me look at life differently. The only problem with this book was that the ending was too simple and quick. Other than that, A Wrinkle in Time is one of the best books ever!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: My review
Review: Well, I liked this book "A Wrinkle in Time". It was good and I liked the interesting description of Camazotz and all the characters and places in it. I liked how it ended and that Meg saved Charles Wallace by using her love for him. I did not like the big words and all the quotes and phrases that did not make sense. The quotes that the Mrs. W's used were very hard to understand. I also did not like that they did not destroy the black thing or IT. I would recommend this book to a grown-up that likes interesting books and endings. Overall, I liked it.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: A Wrinkle In Time was not that good
Review: It's not that A Wrinkle In Time was bad, I just don't get into books like that. It had some confusing parts, but towards the end it cleared up. The book had a lot of comlicated words, a little too complicated for me. But overall the book was ok. I dont think I would read it agaim.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: good but could be better
Review: I did like the book but the ending was really short compared to what I had hoped for it to be. It seemed really too easy. So I would have made it a little more interesting than the author did. Also the reunion was to short and not too much detail was added. I think the author could have made it much longer.
