Summary: A rewarding read!
Review: I liked the cover of this book, that's why I bought it. The story is very interesting. I have read books with Druids in them before but never in America and never with Native Americans. I read on the review that the person said " for L'engle fans only" and I get the feeling that he thought the story lines didn't mesh. WELL BOO-HOO FOR HIM! Maybe if he had done some research on Druidism he'd know that the story lines (or maybe the mythology) go hand-in-hand together.The Druids were like high priests to the Celts (an old pagan religion). They worshiped a goddess called the Mother or Mother Earth, and had human sacrifices to her every harvest (Halloween). They wore white robes and carried staffs with mistletoe draped on them. (They were keen observers of nature. They noticed how mistletoe is such a cunning parasite) And by the way I noticed nothing to do with Christ unless you count the old Father. Read this book! You'll be none the wiser if you don't!

Summary: Polly went back 3,000 years ago and almost had to stay.
Review: I loved this book a lot. If you like fictional books I think you'd really like An Acceptable Time. This book is very imaginative and also has a really good story, but it's also sad in some parts. This book has risk, love and sadness, but it's also very good. I highly recommend it.

Summary: This book is her best one yet.
Review: I loved this book and spent hours pouring over it. If you like Madeline L'Engle and like fantasy, this book is for you. Definitely buy this book!

Summary: I loved this book!!
Review: I loved this book. It started out on the right foot when I ran into Zachary Gray, whom I was already familiar with from A Ring Of Endless Light, thus sparing me the trouble of meeting another new character. And then the reasonable explanation for time travel made it almost seem possible to travel through time. Possibly a bit fantastic, but overall, this is a good book, well worth your $3.99.

Summary: A really, really good book!
Review: I read the book "An Acceptable Time" and completely loved it! I was totally impressed on the indepth story of Polly and her adventure back 3,000 years ago. This is the first book I have read from Madeleine L'Engle and it certainly won't be the last!

Summary: Slow, boring, hard time finishing.
Review: I really, really did not enjoy this book. It was way too dry and boring. The description was tiresome and slow and the characters didn't add to any of the already boring set-up. I have not read any of the previous books (with absolutely NO intention) so i'm not very familiar with any of the characters. Just the book as a whole was just so.....slow. It got so annoying. The back of the book says Polly gets stuck in past, as if that's the first thing to happen. It takes 3/4th's of the book for this to occur. The ending with her best friend made no sense. This was my first fantasy book and it's a wonder i didn't stop reading books right there. Don't waste your time on this sorry excuse for a decent fantasy novel.

Summary: Good but mind-numbing
Review: I thought that the essential plot of the book was wonderful. The only thing that I didn't like about it was the scientific "mumbo-jumbo". Being thirteen and not particularly interested in the space/time continuum, I usually got a head-ache during those parts. It was very sad when she had to leave Tav. I wish Madeline L'Engle had written more books about Polly.

Summary: People aren't always as they seem
Review: I thought this book was interesting,and liked how she had to go over the time threshold. I would recommend this to ages 11-15. I thought this taught that the people you think care, arn't always the ones that turn out to care the most, and anything is possible. You can always meet new freinds no matter what happens to you, almost always anyway.Read this book!! I especially like when she goes for a swim in her pool, and can see stars up in the sky, and also when she goes to the star gazing rock, and the times change on her. ~~~~ Megan Czerwinski

Summary: What is it with this family and time travel?
Review: I've read this book three times: twice when I was twelve (six years ago) and once in the past year. I must admit I enjoyed it much more back then, but it holds up decently. A time travel novel much like A Swiftly Tilting Planet, this one follows Polly O'Keefe as she flits between the present and 3000 years ago. As her uncle Charles Wallace discovered, it is up to her to figure out why she keeps entering a different time-- and how she is supposed to affect it. To this day, at odd moments, I picture Louise slithering around purposefully, saving lives and scaring madmen. Ahh. Trust L'Engle for memorable characters.
