Summary: a captivating favorite
Review: The first L'Engle book I read was A Wrinkle In Time, and I loved that one. A Swiftly Tilting Planet was wonderful as well. I enjoy L'Engle's portrayals of time and good-vs-evil. Swiftly Tiliting Planet brought a new level of maturity from Wrinkle In Time that was quite satisfying, and the piecing together of different parts of the past to bring the present outcome was great. I have read this book more times than I can remember and have enjoyed it every time. Just recently, in fact, and I'm well beyond the suggested reading age.

Summary: My favorite of the Time Trilogy
Review: I loved "A Wrinkle in Time." And I was fascinated by "A Wind in the Door." When I first read it, at age 11, I made the mistake of picking it up at midnight. I didn't get to sleep until I finished it, around three in the morning.But "A Swiftly Tilting Planet," which is much more fantastic than the first two of the series, remains my favorite of the trilogy. It is complex without seeming contrived or overly simplistic (as the first two occasionally felt). The characters are fully human, complete with flaws and faults--even the angelic (or is it Christ-like?) Charles Wallace. Charles travels through time with the unicorn Gaudior, at each period going Within a person, becoming that person, feeling as he feels and thinking as he thinks. As Charles Wallace, Within a person, is absorbed into that person's conscious, so do I become engrossed in that person's story--it's painful when Charles comes out. My favorite of the people Charles goes Within is Matthew Maddox, the young writer. Every time I read the novel, I wish yet again that he and his books were real. I was initially disappointed that Meg, who is so brilliant at math and the sciences, appears to have done very little with her abilities. But nowhere does the book state that she has done nothing; and in fact, it would not be inconsistent with Meg's character to have done less than would be expected of her. Meg has always doubted her abilities, and she has always felt inferior to her mother. Self-doubt is a terribly crippling thing, and I myself can testify that being the daughter of a brilliant mother can be very disheartening--how can you ever measure up to her standard? A side note: The structure of Italo Calvino's "If on a winter's night a traveler" reminded me vaguely of this novel. It's not a perfect parallel, but if you're an older reader and you liked "A Swiftly Tilting Planet," you might try the Calvino; it's quite interesting.

Summary: An incredible book -- I couldn't put it down!
Review: This was an awesome book! I loved the way everything was interconnected, especially the names of the characters (Madoc = Madog = Mad Dog). The plot was very complicated, but I could still understand it even though I'm nine years old. I thought it was the best of the four novels in the Time Quartet.I also loved the way everyone seemed to be related through Madoc and Gwydyr. I would recommend it to anyone.

Summary: This book surprised me...
Review: I am an avid fan of Madeleine L'Engle and have read nearly all of her fiction. This book, however, did not grab me at all. I didn't find myself particularly worrying about whether or not Charles Wallace managed to save the world from the crazed dictator. Some parts were interesting, to be sure, for I think it's absolutely impossible for L'Engle to offer a bad book. However, her other books were far superior, in my opinion.

Summary: Absolutely wonderful! I couldn't put it down!
Review: It is a wonderful edition to the series featuring many other books such as a Wrinkle in Time and Many Waters. I was completely intrigued just as everyone of Madeline L' Engle's books. The Murry family has found another major problem and hopefully, Charles-Wallace can help eveyone. With the complex plots and wonderfully crafted settings, Madeline L' Engle has completed another masterpiece!

Summary: A Good Book
Review: This book was a very good book, and it did keep me interested. However, I was bored sometimes in the parts of the book when Charles Wallace is Within another person, because sometimes it would take a long time for him to come across another might-have-been. But, this book is very well-written, and I do commend L'Engle on this book. I enjoyed seeing how everything was interconnected, and L'Engle has a great talent for making her plots complex, yet understandable and enthralling. This is a good book, and I would recommend it to anybody.

Summary: A Swiftly Tilting Planet
Review: New release of an old classic. Kids here at the "School of Science" continiously ask for these books. The new updated cover is wonderful and the brief introduction by L'Engle is great. An excellent fantasy book and recommended reading for parents, teachers and students alike.

Summary: fabulous!
Review: when i was in 7th grade we read a wrinkle in time out loud in class. i thought it was a really good book, and so i read a wind in the door. it was ok, but not as good as a wrinkle in time. then i read a swiftly tilting planet, and that one was by far the best!

Summary: Mind-Boggling, I counldn't put it down!
Review: this was a wonderful book i coundn't put it down! I think this is the best in the L'engle series so far. everything thing was so real! i loved ananda and gaudior and the conspect that everything is interconnected with everything else and everything you do affects the future. also i have taken it apon myself to learn the beautiful rune so i end this review with this: In this fateful hour/ All Heaven in its power/ The sun with its brightness/ The snow with its whiteness/ The fire with all the strength it haths/ The lightning in its rapid wrath/ The wind with their swiftness/ The rocks with their steepness/ The earth with its starkness/ All this I place/ By God's almighty help and grace/ Between myself and the powers of darkness/
