Summary: one of L'Engle's best
Review: Sandy and Dennys are identical twins the 'normal' ones from a family of geniuses. I really liked this book because after reading the other books of the Time Quartet it was really nice to have a book about the twins, who are rarely mentioned and never a big part of the other books about the Murry's. This book is one of the better ones I've read and I really enjoyed it.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: An interesting read
Review: I really enjoyed this book, but it kind of drags on after awhile. The book is about twins Dennys and Sandy Murry who long to be in a warm, sparsely populated place in the middle of a cold winter. They are transported to biblical times, right before Noah begins building his ark. They meet several characters from the Bible, including Noah himself, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and a few miniature mammoths as well. They also encounter strange creatures called the Seraphin and Nephalim, who are not human but huge beings with wings. And they meet a girl, Yalith, whom they fall in love with. Then they realize that there is going to be a flood after "El" tells Noah to build an ark, and Yalith will not be saved. They struggle to survive and wonder how they will leave this place. This book is good, although it has some sensual content in it, and I found the last seventy or so pages slightly boring. However, overall I really liked this book and how it focused on the lives of all the characters.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful Book!
Review: This book is one of Madeline L'Engle's best! I loved it. Sandy and Dennys Murry are are identical twins. They have a younger brother Charles Wallace Murry and an older sister now in college Meg Murry. Their mother is a scientist and their father experiments with space and time travel. The twins walk into their mother's lab not noticing a sign sayin "EXPERIMENT IN PROGRESS. PLEASE KEEP OUT." Dennys types into a computer in the lab: TAKE ME SOMEPLACE WARM and the twins end up back in the time of Noah. Anyone who liked A Wrinkle in Time should read this book! It is one of my favorite books by Madeline L'Engle!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Read this book!
Review: I am a big fan of Madeleine L'Engle, and I've read most of her books. I liked every one, especially Many Waters. I believe that Madeleine was very imaginative in telling the story of Noah and the Ark. If you are looking for an adventure, read this book!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Thank you so much, Madeleine!
Review: This is an exceptional book! I love Madeleine L'Engle, and it is very obvious that it took her a lot of thought to write this book. I love the fact that she re-tells the story of Noah and the ark so well, and she uses many names for her characters that come straight out of the Bible. She really knows what she is talking about, and she shows how smart she is in much of her writing in this book. This is one of her best, so I hope that everyone gets a chance to enjoy it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: about two twins that get sent back to the story of Noah'sark
Review: This book to me is very good but it is not the best book I have ever read. Though it has a good story many characters and interesting. It's not too hard to follow. I liked this book very much and I plan to read the whole series. The reason I want to do this is because of the plot of this book I hope the others are as good as this one. The best thing about this book is it bounces around from one character to another and dosn't stay with one person the whole story. This book was a little bit too long and drawn out even though it was good there was a little bit too much detail. I recomend this great book to everyone.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Great Novel
Review: The Murry twins, Sandy and Dennys,were just trying to get some food when they are blasted into a time of many waters,the time of Noah and the ark...

In this book a serphin once said "Many waters can not quench love nor can floods drown it." Sandys and Dennysmust hope this pretains to them and their love Yalith also because when the rains comes and their not on the ark they can only hope...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hardest book to put down out of the books I've read.
Review: Even after reading the first three books, this book was the best book I've read. It had everyting from sci-fi to drama/ romance. I had to read it so much I finished it in 4 days. Even when there wasn't much happening it was still suspensful from the overwhelming amount of curiousity I had about what was going to happen- i.e. was Sandy or Dennys going to marry Yalith, or neither?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A great scifi book.
Review: The book was marvelous I loved how it delt with science and the bible at the same time. Most books are either one or the other. Since science and the bible contradict each other so often. I loved how it starts out fast and keeps the same pace until the end when it reaches a thrilling climax.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best in the Wrinkle In Time series.
Review: This book was a welcome adventure for the twins. Not only did it have the same thrills of the other books in this set, but it had a more understandable sense. I loved the way that it intertwined with the characters from the Noah's ark story, without seeming too biblical. The ideas for the good and evil were portrayed in a more easily understood pattern this time. This is my favorite L'engle book.
