With how people talk about A WRINKLE IN TIME, I was expecting something on the level with Narnia, The Hobbit, or The Golden Compass. Maybe I would have liked this better if I had read it as a child who felt left out and nerdy, but as an adult woman this book did nothing to recommend itself to me.
Also, apparently this book is about communism being bad because it makes everyone the same, and yet here I am an American 60+ years after this book’s publication thinking “wow these themes of brutal suppression of individuality sure do speak to me today, the day Trump is inaugurated for his second term.”
