![]() ![]() I am so glad I took the time to reread this classic! I can still remember the cover of the edition I had as a child, and I remembered that I absolutely adored it. But I had forgotten enough of the story to make this time around a true delight! Madeleine L'Engle has created a tale to amaze and enchant, and it was simply magical to listen to the audio, which is read by the author herself. If, by chance, you missed out on this treasure as a child, do yourself a favor and go buy a copy today and reread. Such fun! A classic of children literature, but I was not very impressed. It is well written and it does have elements of interest, but the characters and the story are rather sketchy. I never felt that I really cared. The themes and values explored are interesting, but Michael Ende did it better with Momo and, above all, with the wonderful The Neverending Story. All in all, this reminded me of the Narnia Chronicles. It also has those Christian elements that, to me, come across as a bit preachy and condescending. The hard science fiction elements were intriguing, but not much is done with them, and I got the feeling that the author had done some reading but did not have a deep understanding of those concepts.
