I almost think I thought too much about the underlying meaning it had and failed to truly enjoy it. I almost wish I had read this as a child vs. an adult. (  ) taramatchi | Dec 20, 2009 | http://catchinguponmyreading.blogspot.com/2009/12/review-wrinkle-in-time-by-madeleine.html ( ) CatchingUpOnReading | Dec 18, 2009 | It all started with L’Engle’s classic children’s tale A Wrinkle in Time. At the time, my curiousity was kindled because L’Engle’s masterpiece was instrumental in an old lover’s youth and I wished to familiarize myself with this muse of sorts. Years later, I bought A Wrinkle in Time and got hooked. Soon followed A Wind in the Door, A Swiftly Tilting Planet, and Many Waters. Before I knew it, I was immersed deeply in this fantastic, whimsical, and avant-garde series of children’s adventures. It has been several months since my ardent travels through the Murry family’s space and time travels concluded yet I feel just as excited as ever. The award-winning L’Engle has encompassed wonder, filial love, and adventure in the series which shall continue to resonate with kids across the globe for generations to come. 1 saroshig | Dec 17, 2009 | What can be stated here about this wonderful story that hasn't ben stated prior. It is a classic for a good reason. I love the Sci Fi adventure aspects of this story but the characters from Charles Wallace, Meg and the Mrs.'s all make for a wonderful story of adventure, love, temptation, choices, and it is all wrapped up so beautifully in the writing style of Ms. L'Engle. If only we could travel that quickly...only in our imaginations, being guided by literature like this. 1 joel07 | Dec 5, 2009 |  no reviews | add a review

| Book description |
|
A well-loved classic and 1963 Newbery Medal winner, Madeleine L'Engle's A Wrinkle in Time is sophisticated in concept yet warm in tone, with mystery and love coursing through its pages. Meg's shattering, yet ultimately freeing, discovery that her father is not omnipotent provides a satisfying coming-of-age element. Readers will feel a sense of power as they travel with these three children, challenging concepts of time, space, and the triumph of good over evil. The companion books in the Time quartet, continuing the adventures of the Murry family, are A Wind in the Door; A Swiftly Tilting Planet, which won the American Book Award; and Many Waters. Every young reader should experience L'Engle's captivating, occasionally life-changing contributions to children's literature. (Ages 9 and older) --Emilie Coulter

What we see of the personalities of the three "Mrs" characters is also very well done. From the fun-loving Mrs. Whatsit to the awesome Mrs. Which, they have individual quirks and traits, quite an accomplishment in introducing such beings.
All in all, an excellent introduction to L'Engle's fantasy universe and its consistent lesson of the redeeming power of love. (
