I quickly became attached to these characters, and Mrs, Who, Whatist and Which. There is a certain air about the is book, if that makes any sense at all. I guess it's sort of like Meg trying to explain light to Aunt Beast. I thoroughly enjoyed A Wrinkle in Time. Some books you can review and go on about the book, others it's the feeling you got when reading it. Sure I can say Meg and her little brother Charles are not like other kids, Charles especially and how they travel through time and space

I love magical children's books, but this was too sci-fi for my taste. In addition to the clumsy writing and awkward dialogue the general view of the characters and the story felt a bit superficial. Just because it's for children, doesn't mean you can be sloppy. Direct religious references in children's books also make me uncomfortable.

This was a book I read again and again as a child. It has aged pretty well. I had forgotten how religious it was - it's not just an epic good v evil story but there is a lot of discussion about God who is "He". The book is better than the movie, though, and the movie has purged the religion.

I've just started re-reading this with my daughters, and wow I forgot how truly excellent it is! Sometimes childhood favorites can be very disappointing when you revisit them, but happily that is NOT the case for A Wrinkle in Time.

Another book from my youth recently reread. Did not remember it having such religious overtones, which almost had me setting it aside.
