I recall this book being much better when I was a child; perhaps somewhere along the way Ive lost some of my inner Peter Pan.Great childrens classic with some deep philosophical and spiritual messages. Would not hurt any adult to read or reread. It's currently being made into a movie. I'll be interested to see how it translates.
I was given these books at age 10 by a family friend; they are PRIZED in my collection. This is the first time I remember truly "escaping" into a book, to a fictional time and place. A Wrinkle in Time is the first book where I risked my 5th grade freedom and courageously read under the covers at night with a flashlight! I was prepared to defend Meg and Calvin and Charles Wallace to my death! Well maybe not to my death, but I was willing to sacrifice my hind end to a spanking with the dreaded

Not standing the test of timeFinally read a Winkle in Time. I have passed this item on bookstore shelves for years and always meant to get around to it. Years ago, I did read a swiftly tilting planet. On this attempted re-read, I only got have way though. I found the banter between the characters lackluster. The book(s) just didn't move ahead.I realize Disney is planning a cinematic version of Wrinkle, I will wait for the video.
3.5* - Wrinkle in Time: Favorite as a kid, didn't like it as much as an adult but would definitely pass this on to my daughter to enjoy. 4* - Wind in the Door: remembered this one most from childhood, and really enjoyed my re-reading. Inventive!3* Swiftly Tilting Planet - meh. Vaguely remembered this...elements of Steinbeck's East of Eden with the generational names/themes, didn't like the blue eyed savior family themes (with the pure idealized Native American strains...racist, much?), plodding,
I'm reading this at 38, not 12 like you're probably supposed to, so I wasn't blown away by this like everyone seems to be, however I do see how it was a very influential, ahead-of-its-time novel! The first one flew by and was great, the second one I found to be quite a slog, as nothing seems to much happen and it's just a lot of repeating its concepts to make sure you Really Get It, but then book 3 was fun again as the explaining was out of the way, and there was a story again.
