Summary: This is probably my favorite of all the Time Trilogy books!
Comment: After reading A Wrinkle In Time and A Wind In the Door, (both of which are also fantastic) I had to read this one. I was blown away reading this! This IS a complicated book-many times while I was reading I turned back to some of the other parts to understand a bit better. But that was the delightful and interesting part about it! I loved the whole "mad dog" name thing and the way each of the people Charles visited were connected, and yet very different.
I disagree with people who talk about how it's bad that Meg is only a pregnant housewife and Calvin is a famous scientist. It says in the later books about Poly (Meg's oldest daughter) that Meg works with mathematics, numbers and all that.
I reccomend this to L'Engle or fantasy fans, especially those who've read the first Time Trilogy books. But if you can't handle complicated plots, numerous characters and different settings, wait a few more years to read this so that you can fully appreciate this book!

Summary: The BEST Book In The Entire Time Trilogy!
Comment: "A Swiftly Tilting Planet" is the best book! Charles Wallace and Meg, who is really just kything with Charles Wallace, rush against time to try and save the country from the nuclear bomb threats of Mad Dog Branzillo. With the help of his unicorn, Gaudior, Charles Wallace goes through the Might-Have-Beens to try and reset history and save the country. By the way, Meg Murry and Calvin O'Keefe, who we remember from "A Wrinkle In Time" are now married and expecting their first child. You should definitely read this book if you have any spare time at all!

Summary: "I'm going to fall"
Comment: "A Swiftly Tilting Planet" has been one of my two favorite children's books, alongside "Old Yeller", ever since I read it as a kid. Rereading it the other night prior to the broadcast of the "Wrinkle in Time" TV movie, I had the same epiphany I've read about other people having when they reread "The Lord of the Rings" as adults: I didn't remember how **sad** this book is.
Yes, I remembered the Chuck storyline clearly, and I knew it was sad as a kid, but I wasn't prepared for how much more powerful I would find it as an adult. I was actually crying when the grandmother asked that the children wait to use the rune until "the time is ripe". Like in "Casablanca", the problems of a family being destroyed by the bad things in life don't amount to a hill of beans compared to nuclear war...
I can't imagine an intelligent child who likes time travel stories not falling in love with this book, which will always have a cherished place in my heart.
