The sci-fi like tesseracting and the Borg-like IT that puts the ITs in IT on the planet Camamoz are just pieces of the many interesting parts that weave this masterpiece of a story.

Summary: The most important book of my childhood.
Review: I still have my original copy, and I reread it every few years. I tried to read it to my son when he was five, but he wasn't ready. He's seven now and I can't wait to try again soon. This book has so much to offer, on many levels. You don't need to be a sophisticated person to understand the meaning.

One of my favorite things about the book is that the characters show up in other Madeleine L'Engle books. I've read almost all of them. I used to love making diagrams to show how the characters were all related. If you want to start reading her books, this is the one to read first. I hope it's as special for you as it has been for me.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Undeniably one of the best books ever
Review: From the first time I read this book, I knew that I was hooked. Ever since that day, which was in the early 80s, I have read at least one L'Engle book a year, normally three or four. She is an amazing writer, a kind and generous person and "A Wrinkle In Time," the book that started it all, is still one her best books.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent two day read
Review: I just finished this book today and I really enjoyed it. I started it two days ago and because I have a cold right now...I am done with the book. I enjoyed the characters and the mood of the story. It had just the right amount of "love", suspence(spelling?), action, sci-fi info, ext. I hope you enjoy the book as much as I did.

Summary: My childhood fav...now it is my son's....
Review: You know I saw this book last summer at a yard sale and was just blown away by the memories of reading this book when i was little in elementry school. I had to get this book for my boys. But I passed it by....then this year my oldest brought it home from school. We read as a family. i believe the a child should have a strong since of imagination. And we read this book within 3 nights. And when it was finshed they just talked and dreamed. it was a wonderful thing to see them excited about a story. I don't believe in giving away details, but if you are trying to get your child started into reading. Do them a favor and get them something they will enjoy....and you. I now want to buy them the whole set that goes to this beginning chapter. If you want to read them something that they will interact with...then buy them this book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Finnley's 6 yr. old review
Review: i liked it because it was funny and i liked it because it was spooky, but i wasn't scared. its in a big thing, a very shiny tray, the brain lays there. charles got caught. meg relized that it didn't have love.

if your 16 then you can read it alone. if you're 6 then read it with your mom or dad.

its a long book with really long chapters so it'll take quite a while. maybe read some chapters during the day

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A Boring Book
Review: I had to read this book for school and no one in my class liked it. Every one thought it was a boring book. It goes on, and on and the stuff it goes on and on about are the most boring things ever. I think the chapters were way to long and some parts I didn't understand and some of the words I have never heard of. I don't recomend this book for anyone that is not a good reader. Ever though this book has bad points to it, it was also very interesing at some parts and thoughs parts I enjoyed a little. ...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Why'd I Wait So Long?
Review: I bypassed this book as a kid. Now, as a father of two daughters, I decided to preview this novel for them. Wow! L'Engle uses wild flights of imagination and early stabs at quantum physics to deliver an entertaining and wonderful story. I've heard some complain of New Age thinking in this story, but no, this is Christian theory with an ability to think outside the box (are Christians allowed to do that? L'Engle says yes!).

"A Wrinkle in Time" follows a girl struggling with low self-worth and family issues and watches her mature as she discovers the truth and power required to resist evil. The evil, aptly titled IT, tries to make everyone alike, robbing them of creativity and individuality. Meg, the young girl, realizes that the very things that make her stand out in a crowd are also the things that make her special. By risking her own self for her younger brother, she becomes a young woman and watches her family reunite as a result.

This story has memorable characters (Aunt Beast, Mrs. Whatsit, the Man with the Red Eyes) and fanciful settings, but it tells a dark and sombre tale. Through occasional splices of humor, warmth, and scripture recitation, all's well that ends well...and I'm ready to find another wrinkle in time.
