Summary: The best book I ever read!!
Comment: A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L¡¯Engle is a book that all the science fiction or fantasy lovers of all ages should read. Even though the book is geared towards young readers, it is interesting enough for adults to read. The book is so different and unusual that it makes your imagination travel through time and space with the characters in the book. As you travel throughout the book, you can learn lessons that are important to your life.
The book is about a girl named Meg Murry, an awkward, but loving high school student. She finds out that her missing father who is a gifted scientist is being held prisoner by the evil forces on the other planet of Camazotz. With Mrs. Who, Mrs. Which, and Mrs. Whatsit¡¯s help, Meg, her extraordinarily intelligent younger brother Charles Wallace, and their new friend, Calvin O¡¯Keefe, go on a dangerous adventure through time and space. They fight the evil forces including the giant disembodied brain named IT, The Black Thing, and the Man with the Red Eyes to rescue Meg¡¯s father.
Throughout the battle of good and evil, Meg learns few lessons. When Meg arrives at a planet of Camazots, she is surprised at the place. The place represents complete conformity and security, but no personal freedom with its rows of identical houses and identical human beings. Meg learns that being unique and individual is better than being absolutely identical. Another important lesson that Meg learns is that she can not know everything. When she goes to the planet named Uriel, she can accept that the musical dance of the creatures is beautiful even though she can not understand nor speak their language. She learns that being able to feel is more important than the need for total understanding of the world around her. Another theme of the book and an important lesson for Meg is the inadequacy of words. L¡¯Engle demonstrates that verbal speech is not the only way with which we can share our thoughts and feelings. Meg learns her lesson in her rescue of Charles Wallace: she fights over and wins IT through the sheer power of love that transcends spoken language. When you read the book, you can learn few other important lessons.
A Wrinkle in Time is a great book that anyone who loves adventures and science fiction should read. I really like this book. In the absence of any ambiguities or shades of gray, the book¡¯s central conflict is clearly and starkly dramatized so that readers of all ages can understand its themes and its messages. The book is very interesting and catches your attention because it¡¯s very different from our normal life: unreal, and very strange. It is so fictional and unusual that it might be too childish for some people. The book is well written. The story flows nicely, but it ends awfully quickly at the end where it should be concentrated the most on: Meg saves her brother by her love, and then is happily whisked home, all in few pages. I also hoped that the author explained about the tesseract which is a wrinkle in time more clearly. The book refers to Christianity at the theological and philosophical level; and while the struggle between good and evil forces in the world is a central aspect of Christian theology, it is also universal in its scope. It is a great science fiction story which is very adventurous, imaginative, appealing and which teaches you very important lessons. I recommend the book to people who like to use their imagination as they read the book.

Summary: A Wrinkle in Time
Comment: A Wrinkle in Time is a journey through time in space which catches your interest in moments. Whether it's the excitement of traveling through time or the thought of death, the interest of the novel stays in your mind. Most of this interest comes about because of the fantasy behind the plot Meg and her brother Charles have to find their father in some far off universe. This universe is so wacky it's a fantasy land within all fantasy lands. Besides the story being a thrilling fantasy, it's also a touching novel. This novel is a full package of emotions which is why this is one of the best books I have ever read. If you are the type of person who likes to be in fantasy dream lands this is definitely the book for you because that is what this book does best, pulls you in and makes you feel you're experiencing all the events that are happening.
Also Recommended: The Lord of the Rings, WOT Series and I HIGHYLY recomend The Price Of Immortality
