Rating: Summary: An excelent story about the choices a girl must make Review: It all starts when Poly takes a trip to her grandparents house to get away from her brothers and sisters for awhile. She soon starts seeing a mysterious girl and boy from the past. Eventually she and an old friend: Zachary stumble upon a gate between the two worlds. Soon she must decide what to do; should she leave Zachary and return before the gate closes or stay and risk never seeing her family and friends again? Torn between a love she finds through the gate and her family, Poly must choose.I recomend this book to anyone who enjoys an unusual story. I woke up in the middle of the night and decided to read myself to sleep and once I picked up this book I didn't get any sleep. It is one of L'Engles most interesting books I've ever read. Whether you have read some of her books in the past or not I think this is one you should read.
Rating: Summary: I loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Review: It is the best of all the murry family series and I love how the two families of the Austins and Murrys colide. I read it during a study of the stone age in England and I think it coencides perfectly. I do not like the Austin family series but this makes me want to read more of their books. I love it, or did I already say that...
Rating: 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!
Rating: 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.
Rating: Summary: A worthwhile read for all ages Review: Madeline L'Engle is one of the most engrossing and thought provoking writers alive today. I have enjoyed her books since I was a child, and continue enjoying them today. What I love about all of her books is that the stories she tells are accessable to all ages, and so is the depth of content. I find a different story every time I re-read one of her books. An Acceptable Time is no exception. Some have said that the plot is unrealistic. In response to this, I must say that none of her stories are meant in any way to be strictly realistic. They are modern fairy stories, filled with characters that the reader can identify with. An Aceeptable Time resolves and sheds light on many issues brought up in previous L'Engle books that dealt with the O'Keefe family. It is a wonderful study of familial relationships and coming of age. I would reccommend this book to anyone of any age.
Rating: Summary: Another extremely excellent book by L'Engle Review: It's about a girl named Polly O'Keefe who visits her grandparents and finds a time gate that can take her 3000 years back in time.When her grandparents find out, they forbid her to go visit the ancient time, but she keeps on going, mostly on accident. At first, she goes in and out of it, just visiting, but then, she and two friends get stuck in it. She makes friends with the tribe that she's with, and then tries to protect herself with another nearby tribe that's willing to sacrifice her to end a terrible drought.
Rating: Summary: Very nice tie-in to other L'Engle books Review: Some other reviews have recounted the story, so I won't, but I wanted to say that I did not find it slow going at all. Do not abandon it because some people are too impatient and wish for action all the time. It is just too subtle for them. But if you're interested, don't listen to them! This book tied into all the rest of her stories and the time travel is wonderfully interwoven. I definitely recommend AN ACCEPTABLE TIME for those of you who like a fascinating tale to wrap your mind around. :-)
Rating: Summary: excellent Review: everytime i travel i look forward to discovering a different madeleine l'engle book in the local library. this city only has A WRINKLE IN TIME, which is excellent, but i am craving AN ACCEPTABLE TIME in the magical setting i currently enjoy. i've downloaded this page just to see the cover....
Rating: Summary: Good Book Review: Its real good, but my forever favourite will always be A Wrinkle in Time,I love madeline L'Engle!
Rating: Summary: Pretty good But its slow for a start Review: HI I'm Carrie from California and I'm 12. I've read most of this series and i didn't enjoy this book as much as others she wrote. I conent was very discriptive and is a beutifully written. Many of her books are time travel ones. My favorite thing of all about this book is that it has wounderful discritions and I recomed this for teens because if you not able to understand the vocabulary in these books then I dought you would understand this book <b>at all!!!!
