I love the book!

the book was, well, weird! it was a little bit dark and confusing. and then a giant brain named IT came into the story? i don't know. it takes a certain taste to enjoy this book, and honestly i didn't love the book.

I love this book and series I watched it as a book and a movie!!!!! But I have to say the book is toatally way better.

For the most part, I was very confused with the plot and the facts behind the fantasy. The thing? We read this in class, and couldn't keep up with the general understanding of the novel. I'm so sorry WIT fans, for this confession.

I love A Wrinkle In Time by Madeleine L'Engle!!! I love the story, characters, and plot!! I'm rereading it right now. I'm on The Transparent Column chapter. For now the book is amazing. I've also saw the movie the day it came out! It was wonderful. Thank you, Madeleine!!!

I think I want to read it and see it. Really bad.

It was a good book. It had lots of different things. They were traveling all over planets, and seeing some weird stuff. You should read this book because it's exciting. The book teaches to always go forward, and that love is more powerful than hate. The movie was disappointing because it left out a lot of stuff.

I saw the trailer I liked it.

you will find that this book will bring you twist and turns. I think that people should read this because it's pretty much about common sense. and the book brigs choices like these: Should i trust them/it or not, do it or bail out. So over all I DARE each and everyone out there to read the book before the movie

A Wrinkle In Time by Madeleine L’Engle is a fantastic book that teaches about love and family. Throughout this amazing journey through time and space it is hard not to fall in love with the incredible characters. With the author’s descriptive writing and creative mind this book is great for all ages with its thrilling but serious manner. The crazy characters, worlds, and situations that are found inside this book are what make it so special. Although it starts out slow, once it picks up, it’s almost impossible to put down. A Wrinkle In Time is a great read with just the right mix of reality and fantasy.
