Pros great timeless characters
Cons zero
Recommended it? Yes

When I picked up this book I expected to find a time travel, science fiction type adventure. Yup, it was that, but it was also a great deal more. A Wrinkle in Time is a book that teaches life lessons within the context of the aforementioned time travel, science fiction adventure. It goes beyond the... Read full review »

I rarely find myself stumbling for words, but today I am. Sitting here with a blank page in front of me, having just read A Wrinkle in Time for the umpteen millionth time, I am at a loss for words. Where to start? The thoughts swirl around my brain, not quite crystallizing. I am waiting for that... Read full review »

Pros Excellent plot, great re-read value, interesting characters, part of a wonderful series
Cons none
Recommended it? Yes

I'm reverting back to my childhood during my week off of school by reading many of Madeleine L'Engle's novels. Fortunately, I am enjoying them just as much, or more, as an adult as I did as a child. The logical place to start with these books is the most famous, the 1963 award winner A Wrinkle in... Read full review »

Pros A well written and uplifting sci-fi adventure for pre-teens.
Cons On the ALA's 100 most challenged books list. ????????
Recommended it? Yes

Until a flood sent it to the great book depository in the sky, a rather battered book held pride of place on my shelf. The cover was almost entirely hidden by duct tape, and the title had been scrawled in permanent marker along the spine by my 10-year-old self many moons ago. That title was A... Read full review »

A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle - BAN THIS BOOK!

Pros There are NONE!  It's classic, early YA science fiction.
Cons I am offended.  I am not.
Recommended it? Yes

I am deeply offended.  My child was given A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle by her TEACHER.  In SCHOOL!  I didn't think twice about it, not being a big reader myself.  I figured they should know enough to choose books that are appropriate for our children.  Was I ever... Read full review »

Pros characters, story line, everything
Cons nothing
Recommended it? Yes

There are a lot of reasons I decided to reread this book this last week. The recent death of the author, Madeleine L'Engle, being one, and the introduction of two write-offs on Epinions that it would qualify under. I am really glad I decided to reread it, since it'd been so long since my last... Read full review »

Pros Charming characters, exciting plot, and imaginative settings.
Cons Slow start and references to God and Christianity may not appeal to some readers.
Recommended it? Yes

A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle belongs to that fine breed of children's books that withstands the test of time. It is as fresh and meaningful now as it was at the time of its original publication almost 40 years ago. Happily, it is still being read and enjoyed today, not only by old folks...
