While the book has many of the usual young adult story aspects, if the reader looks deeper there are many things that resonate with adult readers. The book is very intelligently written - so that it can lure the young reader while also entertaining the adult reader. The overall messages from the author about good versus evil, learning to use your strengths and weaknesses, and to never give up hope are lessons that can strike a chord with the reader no matter their age. A great book to reread as an adult even if you already read it years ago.

I loved the first half of this book - the when I first learned of the Murrys with Meg up in her attic bedroom riding out a storm. I love how different the family is from others. Then the tasseract came up and bam the story morphed into something else entirely. If I was younger, I think I would have liked this story more and would have been more impressed, but as an adult I'm a bit disappointed. I will hang onto this book so my children can read it in a few years and I can't wait to see what they think of it and we can discuss it.

I would have been obsessed with this book if I had read it when I was young and I can't believe I didn't read it. No wonder it is a favorite of many!
