A Wrinkle In Time by Madeleine L’engle

wrinklecover9The book that I read is called A Wrinkle In Time. It is written by Madeleine L’engle. The series is called The Wrinkle In time Quintet. The main characters are Meg, Calvin, Charles,  Mr.Murry and Miss Who, Miss Whatsit and Miss Which. The book is about the main characters trying to defeat the Dark thing. There are lots of settings in this book but one of them is called Comotz.

Something that is really interesting is that the author really describes what the characters are feeling and why they are feeling what they are feeling. I found that this book is really complicated so you really have to read slowly. Adding on to what I just said is that sometimes you might have to read the page all over again and then you will get what they’re talking about. Sometimes the author gives you riddles you have to figure out. Meg is very, nice, outgoing and loving. She is nice because when she meets Calvin she helps him and she cares for him. She is outgoing because when she meets Miss Who, Miss Whatsit and Miss Which she does not get all shy, she goes for it and makes friends with them. She is loving because when her brother is in danger she helps him because she loves him.

I thought this book was ok, it was not great but it was not terrible. I like books that have more suspense. And I like books that have a tiny bit of violence in them. I would recommend this book to people who like riddles and to people who like mixed emotions in their books. I wouldn’t recommend this book to people who like violence or to people who don’t like a little love in their books. There is really nothing that I have read that is similar to this book, this book is unique in its own way. I would rate this book a three. I thought it was ok. It was not the best book and I would not read it again.

  1. I might not read it since you said what it does not have because I like that type of things sometimes. I think you were very descriptive on what you said. I really like how you explained things.

  2. This is a book that is considered a classic, for sure! I’m glad you noticed that you should slow down rather than breeze over some things that took longer to understand. There is a graphic novel version of this story that was rewritten by Hope Larson. You may want to give that one a go!

  3. I’m ashamed to admit that I’ve never read this book! Your review makes me want to read it! I like riddles and mixed emotions!

    I’m also intrigued by the graphic novel.

  4. We have the graphic novel in our classroom. I read it a month ago and I really loved the way the illustrator captured the ideas and complicated feelings of the book.
