Summary: Good book, bad book
Review: When i started reading A Wrinkle in Time, i was in sixth grade. I finished reading it about a week later, and was inspired to find some more of Madeline L'engle's wonderful little worlds. There were good and bad points to this book, i admit, but when i finished reading it i quickly found and read A Swiftly Tilting Planet, A Wind in a Door, and Many Waters. I kept these books as a treasure to find in years to come.

Summary: An Excellent Little World
Review: A Wrinkle in Time is the only book I have read that has the capability to bring me into a completely unique world and accurately describe it. Even the illustrations on some of the paperback versions have accurate depictions of the characters described in the book! :-)I do like the little extras that this book has to offer, such as a theory involving what goes beyond the third dimension, into the fourth dimension (that being time) and then to the fifth dimension, a wrinkle in time, or, as it's referred to in the book, a tesseract.

Summary: Hateful classic; dull, dull, dull
Review: Why does everyone love this book? Why? I thought I would really connect with Meg and Charles Wallace and Calvin, beacuse they're all intelligent misfits who don't quite fit in, and I connect with that, but I didn't. The characters are dull, stultifying, snobby, mundane. They're so in love with their enormous intellects and unusual, close-knit family life that I could cry with frustration and annoyance. The writing is weird, the characaters are weird, the plot is weird, and none of it is entertaining. I love a different book with a different plot, but the triteness and egotism and coldness of this book destroyed it for me. I must admit that the story has some truly interesting elements to it. Madeleine L'Engle does well with storylines and plots, and the story does indeed move along, (like I said, I like weird--i.e., unusual and original-- plots) but the stuffy dullness of all the characters, main and supporting, ruins the book. I couldn't relate to anyone in this book, and I found I really didn't want to.

Summary: Madeline L'Engle has woven a magnificent fantasy.
Review: Madeline L'Engle has written a beautiful fantasy with glorious charactors and creatures such as Mrs.Who and Mrs.What. It has a half sci-fi half fantasy atmosphere and a wondrous plot. I highly recommend reading it. Get your hands on it today!

Summary: TERRIBLE, LACK OF ALMOST EVERYTHING
Review: A terrbile book. I gave it two stars because the plot was great. Otherwise it was a bad bad book. The author needs to sharpen her sense of writing. The way she writes makes me bored out of my MIND. But she definetely can write a plot, that is very interesting.
