This is a reread many years after loving the book when it was first published. It really does stand the test of time. Frequently I don’t like full-cast audiobooks, but this one is really well done.

I think I enjoyed the book better than the movie. Mostly because the movie kind of suck. But then again I enjoyed it anyway.

Trying for a better 2021! This is a great start. Trying to keep ahead of the series and while that is fantastic, the book is still better.

This is a very entertaining, well-written fantasy. That said, I hate fantasy and I only read this because I wanted to read something non-thinky. I imagine I would have really enjoyed this as a tween. Madeline L'Engle's still the queen of the fantasy/physics/girl hero/spirituality genre.
