This book is one of the top (but, really, bottom) maybe five WORST books I've ever read. I find it surprising that even though I marked it as one star worth, goodreads decided to show this post to me.

Read this book after watching Interstellar and the sci-fi part of it reminded me of Interstellar. Someone please tell me I'm not alone in this.
Just read it for the first time and am looking forward to seeing the movie! Seems like a book that will translate well to the screen :)
It was such a sweet movie and good for kids of all ages. I only wish it could have gone deeper and pulled more of the original lines from the book. The imagery was gorgeous and made me wonder if this was what Madeleine L'Engle would have imagined!P.S. Tiny spoiler: I also expected Mrs Which to lisp but she didn't!
I have such fond memories of bonding over this book with my mother. As a child, I often resisted reading what she'd recommend, but she pushed this one extra hard. I'm so glad she did. It was and it amazing. The opening chapter with the thunderstorm and sandwiches made me feel warm and fuzzy and the sci-fi stuff creeped me out, but in the best way. I have not seen the new film version but I rather liked the TV film from 2003. Watching that version was another fond family memory.
I love this book! It's a great book and I cannot wait to see this movie! I saw the 2003 version, and had some doubts, but i'm really excited for this one and the book was great.

I bought the whole series last year but now I have regrets because it seems so dang weird and I don't think I'll like it.
One of my favorite books that I first read as a middle-schooler, and many times since then! I really related to Meg; she had trouble in school, despised her looks, and felt like an outcast because people thought her family was "weird". The scene where she decides that she "can stand there and love Charles Wallace" still brings a lump to my throat! That being said, since this was a book I practically memorized as a kid, I cannot bring myself to see the movie. From what I've seen in previews it is just too different from the book for me to accept it. I hope people that see the movie will go to the book and get hooked on it!
My dad gave it to me in 6th grade and I read it 14 times over the next few years. School made me suicide-wishing depressed then, and it helped me through that.

If you ask me, it's cheating to use a Pascal quote and present it as a highlight from A Wrinkle in Time, even though the quote does appear in the novel. It'd be better with something that L'Engle wrote.
"But if I knew everything, there would be no wonder, because what I believe in is far more than I know."I thought this was A Wrinkle in Time at first, but it's actually An Acceptable Time.
