Wrinkle in Time, a
1962 • 7 pages

A total let down.
This is supposed to be her masterpiece and I did not like it, so I don't think I will check out any other books by her. It was fairly trite. It is pretty much a sci-fi story, but then there are inexplicable sideturns into religion. It felt like the kind of cheat a Creationist Tea Partier would try. Overall, though, the story was just flat and trite and the tone changes suddenly toward the end, just in order to bring the story to a conclusion. The reader did a fine job in mimicking different voice and was always very pleasant, despite a really poor recording quality at the beginning. I love children books and was really looking forward to reading this, since it is supposed very intelligent and challenging. It was neither.
