It was really boring for me. It didn't really hook me at the beginning, as it was mostly just talk and no action.

Children employ a tesseract, a wrinkle in time, to move between planets to rescue their father who is held prisoner by a warped, evil intelligence.

Average stuff, really. I don't get why it's become a cult favourite, much less a movie.

It is always interesting to select a title that 1. Was written many years ago and 2. targets a younger audience. Thinking back to when the book was written and what was happening in the world the subject matter was very forward thinking. …

If you enjoyed the movie, but never read the book you really should give it a try.

I read this for the "a book that has been made into a movie" part of my 2018 reading challenge. I never read this book when I was younger, and I feel like I would have enjoyed it a lot more then. I was a bit let down, I felt that the…

I never read this book as a child. After having now read it to my child, I see what I missed. Reading this book together was enjoyable for us both.

The child me read this too many times and loved it too much to offer a significant critique.

I haven't read this since I was a kid and I am glad that I didn't remember a lot of it so it felt essentially like the first time. There's a bit of datedness here but the whole adventure to save a parent, weird and wonderful worlds and…

I read this book when it first came out and really enjoyed it. When I heard about a movie being made, I thought it would be fun to read the book again to see if I still liked it 55 years later. I did like it still! I hadn’t remembered all…

I really enjoyed the explanation of physics and time and space, I did also enjoy the christian overtones and can see why this would be considered a banned book, but I wouldn't restrict people from reading this. It involves science,…

So glad that I read this one before the movie comes out! I'm surprised that I never read this growing up. I can see that it must have been ground breaking thinking at the time, and I'm so glad to have read the 50th anniversary edition…

So I hesitate to review this because it is at once quite a simple book and not a all simple. It is, in one way, a theological treatise on the first chapter of Corinthians told in narrative form. If you don't get that part, you'll miss the…

Its, seems like everyone has read this when they were in school. Some how I never did. I decided to read it has an adult because everyone has read it and the movie is coming out. I did not enjoy it. It was boring and the characters…

Meg Murry's father has been missing for years and, although she and her family are confident he'll return to them -- the nature of his work is merely secret and mysterious -- it isn't easy when the townspeople are whispering and…

This book is great. A must read book that keeps you hooked until the end.

I just love this book! I'm being serious people, really serious. Okay, how many of you, by a show of hands, love this book? Practically all of you? Awesome! It would break my heart to see a comment of somebody saying that they hated this…

I enjoyed this much more as an adult than my childhood memories of it. As a kid, I didn't pick up on its deeper meaning, or the imagery and symbolism throughout it. Perhaps this is a book wasted on the young?

This book was awesome! I loved it! It was so cool and adventurous. Personally I love adventurous books just like this one. Since I liked the writer I decided to look for more books by Madeleine L'Engle.

My favorite series of all time. I love the way L'Engle bends my definition of reality. I'll take that trip again and again.

A Wrinkle in Time is a classic! It's exciting, emotional, and intelligent. Great for upper elementary students and older. Even adults will be challenged by this book.
