I'd say this book is overall mid and cliche but the last chapter made me realize that the moral of the story can be interpreted in more than one way.
The good: Even though im not a fan of sci-fi it wasn't too hard to read and understand what was going on. Its a battle of good vs evil, but what exactly was the good and what was the evil? The hero, Meg, is a young girl full of flaws and big emotions. The bad guy, is the “brain” who just wants everyone to be the same, perfect, sticking to a format, assuming thats how equality can be achieved. But Meg wins bcz she realizes “hey im a human with a soul and i cant change that and that's ok”. I really liked this message.
The bad: Can someone explain why poor Calvin got involved? Poor boy was just used to comfort Meg (even though he had issues of his own). Then the genius little boy Charles Wallace....another prop. And this might be just me but the bible verses made no sense.
Overall: not outstanding and very cliche, but the ending and the message of the story were good. Quick effortless read too
