My Experience: I started reading A Wrinkle in Time onand finished it on, This book is fantastic! I love the characters! They all have unique personalities, I like the twins good sense of humor, I like their easy going intelligent parents and the oddities of Meg and Charles Wallace, I like that despite the characters being super smart, that they seem to have a disability in others, Charles Wallace is a genius but he didnt speak until he wasyears old, Meg is excellent at math but she is a trouble student at school, Its a good reminder that even geniuses are still not perfect, I read this book to watch the remake of A Wrinkle in Time, I have seen the old version of the movie years ago and some events came back to me as I read this book,

This book is told in the third person point of view following Margaret Meg Murry as she experiences one of the lowest days of her life, Her grades are suffering, the mean girls at school are saying shes acting like a baby, and she has gotten herself into a fight to protect her youngest brother, Charles Wallace though her middle twin brothers, Sandy and Dennys werent appreciative of her efforts.

To Meg and her moms surprise, Charles Wallace already gotten acquainted with the new neighbor, Mrs. Whatsit said a tesseract is real and it brought on a whole new adventure for Meg and Charles Wallace, This adventure involves rescuing their father, a renowned physicist, With the help of Mrs, Whatsit and her two friends Mrs, Which and Mrs. Who and Megs classmate, Calvin, they were able to travel by

tesser to far away planets,

A well written story, this book is full of adventures and wholesome characters for readers, I love the illustrations in this book that explains how traveling through tesser works, I like the mathematical references and the mentioning of Einstein, I like how Megs dad spent time to teach Meg math shortcuts and the periodic table of elements, I like Charles Wallace and his interest in higher learning at such a young age, I like the glimpse of Camazotzs citizens, how everyone doing the same thing in a rhythmic motion, This book has a good family dynamic and the curiosity of the mind and I highly recommend everyone to read this book!

xoxo,
Jasmine at sitelinkwww, howusefulitis. wordpress. com for more details I read this one a few years ago and just realized I never gave it a star review, I did read it when I wasn't always writing reviews, so here is a brief take on what I remember, . .

I had high hopes for this one because it is considered a classic, Many people read this one when they are in elementary/middle school and I remember back when I was that age hearing my fellow students singing its praises, A bit odd that I never tried it back then! When I finally got to it as an adult, those hopes I had built up were not lived up to.


Maybe if I had read it as a kid I would have felt different, But, to adult me it was just a bizarre and haphazard series of events and not in a good way, I struggled to stay interested or even be able to tell what was going on, I do remember that since it is highly revered I fought my hardest to find something that I enjoyed about it,

You shouldn't have to fight to enjoy something if it is truly meant for you,

So, it is not one that I can recommend, but I am glad many love it and have fond memories of it, Am I the first livingyear old who had never read this book until now March,,
that is

Random Thoughts,
. . I was surprised to discover this story was about a little GIRL not a WIZARD,
. . I was more surprised that Meg,years old, had three other siblings, . . two twin brothers, Sandy and Dennys, and a younger brother, Charles Wallace Murray, who is a child prodigy, . with parents who were scientist, THERE IS A REAL FAMILY WITH REAL PEOPLE in this book! NOT SURE WHY THIS SURPRISED ME!
, . I'm thinking "HOT DAMN, I might like this story", and my daughters might have, but as far as I know, they missed reading this one too,
Heck, the first page was 'great' the first sentence was 'classicgreat': "It was a dark and stormy night",
What child doesn't perk up to hear a story with those first words

So, I continue reading 'remembering' that not long ago 'ELLIE' praised this book SO HIGHLY, as her FAVORITE children's book she and I both have passion for the Velveteen Rabbit, that I KNEW I HAD TO FINALLY READ IT, I bought a used copy at my recycle bookstore for a dollar, THANK YOU ELLIE!!!!! : whew I'm glad I didn't miss this gem!!! I loved the characteristics of the kids and adults, each unique in their own ways,

. . What creative names for characters: Mrs, Whatsit, Mrs. Who, and Mrs. Witch . 'charming supernatural neighbors' as well as the lovely Aunt Beast,

The three W women escort Meg, Charles, and another boy, Calvin O'Keefe, from Meg's school through the universe by means of SCI FI UNIVERSE TRANSPORTATION "tesseract" A fifth dimensional phenomenon ET hasn't phoned home yet, . on a mission to rescue Meg and Charles father, Meg, and the Mrs. W's all agree that the mysterious disappearance of the father is very strange and has something to do with the term "tesseract", After all he is a scientist and was working on a project before his disappearance,

The Trio Wwomen and children travel through the universe and visit different planets a utopian world with creatures disguised as humans, First they bump into evil, . . then they are taken to a woman to look through a crystal ball, The children are learning that there is both evil and good in the world, They see much darkness through that crystal ball down here on planet earth, They also see that artist's, and philosophers, and religious folks are fighting against the evil,
AT THIS POINT IF I WERE A CHILD I WOULD HAVE QUESTIONS
THE CHILD ME WOULD ASK: "well, my daddy diedI was, I'd want to know if he left me because he got tired of all the fighting on earthand since I've always wondered since the day he died not knowing what the hell that meant if he was coming back soon and could I go on the mission with Meg and bring my daddy back home too" This book might have scared me as a child I would have needed a tender adult reading it with me.


ON WITH THIS STORY:
They soon travel to a planet called Camazotz, where they find Meg's father: trapped!
The planet is being controlled by an evil brain and with powerful telepathic abilities called "IT",
This story begins to gets MORE SCARY, . I would have been on the edge of my seat, Note: I don't read much science fiction but the children are threatened by the possibility of their minds being controlled through a telepathic takeover,

Whew . . laughing . I was exhausted by the end, . OF COURSE IT HAS A HAPPY ENDING,
I HATE that felt like crying in this children's book! I hate all you people who told me it's a must read, . because for this girl it WAS!!!!!! I LOVED IT!!! you mean people!!!

I love believing there is GOOD in the world, . so why am I sad


A special appreciation to the Goodreads community I might never have read this book without all the the LOVE amp EXPRESSION for this children's classic! Thank you!




I have one general, selfimposed rule about reviewing on this site: I write about the books I've read in the order I've finished them.
By that logic, I should be cobbling together my reaction to Hunger right now but I am so taken by this childhood staple that there's no room in my brain for anything other than uncontrollable glee over this book that another Madeleine has given to the world.


I never read this book as a kid, I didn't read it as a teenager or a college student, I read it for the first time withcoming at me like a crazed stalker who won't let a pesky thing like a restraining order stand in the way, And that did concern me, especially after halfheartedly slogging through the first four books comprising the Narnia Chronicles a few years ago before taking an indefinite break from tackling what should have been another enthusiastically remembered staple of a young reader's diet.
I was afraid that I'd completely missed out on enjoying A Wrinkle in Time, a novel that I have heard praised up and down by so many people as the prime example of how good children's literature can be.


So I read it like I read as a wee lass who didn't realize that she was poised at the very beginning of what would become a lifelong pursuit of books fueled by an insatiable need to keep reading.
I read well past my bedtime with one tiny light illuminating the path to somewhere magically transportive, knowing full well that the bookworm gratification far outweighed the inevitability of being a zombie all morning.
I read it when I should have been doing something else as dictated by responsibility, I read to be told a story and to consider ideas I'd never come across in the world beyond two covers, sure, but mostly I read to give myself up to a writer's lush landscape, to lose myself in someone else's words.
I read it to let my imagination run free through a universe I fervently and fruitlessly wished to be a part of,

And my adult self was just as enchanted as my inner child was, Sure, A Wrinkle in Time has its faults but I honestly couldn't tell you what they are because I was so thoroughly entertained, so taken with these characters I couldn't believe I could relate to in a way that was far less remote and removed than I expected which is to say, at all that all the things my nitpicky, pretentious postEnglishmajor self would usually hone in on paled in comparison to the sheer enjoyment of the rush of letting a book completely suck me into its world to the point where the real world could have collapsed around me and I wouldn't've either cared or noticed because I was so wrapped up in this story.


On one hand, yeah, I do feel a little cheated that so much of what I needed to hear as a kid has lived within these pages all this time and I could have had such imperatives by my side to ease the pains of childhood's harsh but necessary learning experiences had I just shown even a fraction of some interest in this book.
Among them: One's parents are not infallible, Weaknesses can become strengths nay, tools integral to besting some truly harrowing obstacles in the right circumstances, That sometimes you have to face down scary or unpleasant truths, and you're not excused from looking away or backing down just because the task ahead is either scary or unpleasant.
It's better to embrace your individuality and not compromise yourself, no matter how uncomfortable you are in your own skin, than to mindlessly submit to the herd mentality and easy conformity.
Just because something appears strange doesn't make it bad or all that strange at its core, after all, What things are is infinitely more important than what they look like,

But conversely This book drenched my ordinary existence with fantasy's magic for a few days, and I'm sure it'll stick with me in the days to come, My first encounter with this book wasn't a foggily but fondly recalled childhood memory that's destined to be tarnished by the darkening cynicism of the years upon revisits from my older self.
I got to experience the breathless wonder of a kid discovering an instant favorite for that very first time as an oasis of sheer escapist rapture in the face of a few intense work days and the humdrum nature of routine adulthood.
And it proved to me that I don't always have to be such a goddamn snob about kid lit because when it's good, it is extraordinary, And, really, let's be honest: Younger Me wasn't exactly the sharpest crayon in the tool shed, so who's to say I would have picked up on the more subtle elements that made this such a delightful read, anyway

Despite my natural inclination toward hyperbole, I am not exaggerating when I say I'm a little better for having read this book, one that I initially arrived at out of dubious curiosity and left in a state of giddy, childlike awe.
And maybe a few tears, .
