A Wrinkle in Time

My dad read this to me when I was a child and he recently told me that I declared the ending “corny.” I have to give little girl me some credit there because the end of the book did make me groan a little bit. Still, I really enjoyed reading the book and looked forward to reading it before I fell asleep each night. Some nights I stayed up later than I wanted to read a few extra pages.
I think L'Engle's interesting characters are what make this book so good. I especially love Charles Wallace, with all his weirdness. To me, his precociousness should make him entirely annoying, but he's written so endearingly that it's hard to be irritated. I also love the science in the book and the fact that L'Engle explained the idea behind the time travel. It made me really want to do some research on it and see what I could find. If that doesn't make a book great, I don't know what does.
