My mother read this book to me when I was about 8 or 9 and I remember being transfixed. Having read it again as an adult I thought it was pretty awful. Anyone else experience this? Dave Courtney I read it as a kid and fell in love with it.

It infused me with a sense of wonder and taught me to see and encounter the world through on than just black and white terms. It has been nearly 30 years since I last picked it up. As with all great children's literature, the joy of reading it as an adult is being able to see what I experienced as a kid but maybe didn't understand the way I am able to now that I am older. There is a rather profound and timely commentary in this story about the ways in which we see ourselves, the ways in which we accept others, and the socio-political forces that push back against our responsibility towards each other.

I was able to see this through fresh eyes and it had me hooked. Loved it every bit as much as I did when I was young, and appreciated it maybe even more considering how much more aware I am of the state of the world. I needed this message of this book, one in which love wins over hate. On that same note, I was quite surprised and taken aback by some of the hate for this book in our modern age.

It's not a dominant voice but it definitely is visible. And what surprised me is how much of that anchors itself in the books religious undertones. I heard people state their outright distrust for a children's book that claims to be about science but dares to include Christian imagery, calling it evangelical or shameless proselytizing. Or how a book that seemed so progressive duped them into having to see the characters quote scripture. As if a scientific mind could not also consider religious symbolism. And as if a writer who happened to be a Christian couldn't also be progressive.

People completely seem to miss how progressive this book really was in giving us the female heroine of Meg, and how aware the author was of both her own scientific interest and her religious conviction. It's as if these same critics would imagine a world in which everyone is the same and the only books children get to read are books in which they are fed the same philosophy.

It's ironic that they might actually be the ones who need the message in this book most of all. I remember loving this book as a student. But, what age range is it appropriate for?

I've got a 7. Would this still be too old for him? If we read it together? Shellie I think this is a great book for grades for a first read or read-aloud.

First, understand that I am editing this review after several outraged responses. I knew that "Wrinkle" was considered to be a classic, but I was unaware that it was considered a Beloved Classic Beyond Criticism. I read this in grade school and just REread it aloud, to my daughter.

I didn't have a clear memory of it, though I remember that I loved the way it started. Now I realize why I forgot so much of it. But since some of you found First, understand that I am editing this review after several outraged responses. So I've edited this review. But I find I just can't retract my statements. They are my opinion, that's all, and I haven't changed my mind. Otherwise, I'd be a simpering fake. Like C. I'm not anti-spiritual, but I have a personal discomfort with this kind of religious doctrine.

You many not, and that's fine. But more than that issue, the book is an odd combination of intelligent hard science, interesting quantum science that is brushed over, and quotes from the bible. At least there are a few respectful mentions of other spiritual leaders from other cultures, and moral messages from classic literature and philosophers. I understand this combination garnered criticism from both religious fundamentalists as well as atheists and secular society.

L'Engle has earned my respect for taking on the difficult and controversial marriage of science and religion. She has also earned my criticism for raising this issue and then failing to really grapple with it.

Deathstroke

It's treated lightly, as though it's a natural thing that should be easy to accept, in spite of the many holes and inconsistencies in her story. I wouldn't even mind, except that this book takes itself SO seriously! It's easy to imagine that a school teacher might use this book to demonstrate that Evolutionist Theory and Creationism can be combined, but I find science and religion to have a disjointed and uneasy coexistence in this book. One is always dropped abruptly for the other. Or at least, it seems so to me.
