A Wrinkle in Time

Strangely I don't ever remember reading this as a kid, but since the movie is on the way I thought it would be good to read it first. So keep in mind I'm coming at this from the perspective of an adult. I can see why it has become a classic, it really pushes the boundaries that a lot of other kids books don't and I appreciated that. Whether it was the mixing of fantasy and sci fi, or anger issues in a pre-teen main character or even the subject matter of free will versus comfortable mindless puppetry (a rather poignant subject even today) - A Wrinkle in Time touches on things I was rather surprised by, but truly enjoyed. I don't think I felt the ‘charm' I have felt with other kids books in the same vein, but that might be a product of reading it first as an adult. Others have taken issue with the religious connotation, but as a Christian myself, I really found it poignant and thoughtful. I feel like the overall message is still a positive one whether you are religious or not. Overall it was an enjoyable read and I look forward to seeing the film.
