A review by bookphile
A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle
4.0
I had some credits and when the trailer came out I decided to give this book a chance. I didn't stay away from it for any particular reason, except that it's a childhood classic and since I missed reading it as a child I felt the experience would be tainted.
The story was definitely enjoyable, though Meg was a bit hard to like at times. But the thing is, while she's hard to like, Meg is such an important character because she's an angry girl. Her anger is always justified, though it came from childish stubbornness and impatience and misunderstanding - Meg is a child and that's exactly how a child would act.
I do say the audio narrator wasn't that great and the voices she did for a couple of characters annoyed me. So I kind of want to get a hard copy and read it over later.
