A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle
4.0

A weird, little, sci-fi, Fantasy, classic book by Madeleine L’Engle. Out of this wild night, a strange visitor comes to the Murry house and beckons Meg, her brother Charles Wallace, and their friend Calvin O'Keefe on a most dangerous and extraordinary adventure—one that will threaten their lives and our universe. A WRINKLE IN TIME is a classic sci-fi adventure for children by bestselling US author, Madeleine L'Engle

Although a little kiddish, it contains some immensely beautiful thoughts and words from across the universe (Seriously). It is not of earth, it is a kind of a dream or a fable (or an experience which cannot be described in the limited earthly words) and the author seems to have tried to put all that onto a paper - a nice attempt I'd say.

I don't think at all that everyone would like this book. It is a little weird and hard to understand(even though it is a children book). And it have so many quotes, from Shakespeare to Cervantes, Dante to the Holy bible. And it becomes a little nerdy at times. To be frank, I don’t understand everything in this book. But yet I liked it. Indeed it is a classic.

My rating: 8/10
