A Wrinkle in Time

Executive Summary: I never read this one as a child, so it's hard to gauge if I'd have liked it more then. I thought it started much stronger than it finished. 2.5 StarsFull ReviewWith the movie upcoming, I was interested in reading this classic. I thought the premise was pretty interesting, but I found the execution a bit lacking. Traveling between planets by folding time and space seems pretty cool and would have been right up my alley as a kid.I thought that Meg and her brother were both pretty interesting characters, but that the book came across as far to preachy about what children should behave like and with its message of religion. Meg also got kind of bratty for a period of time, and that started to annoy me.The first half of this book had some pretty good worldbuilding, but the second half felt very rushed and the ending left a lot to be desired. I was expecting more plot and by the final chapter I was wondering how things would be wrapped up. In my opinion they weren't so much wrapped up and they were rushed to an abrupt stop.I'm certainly not the target audience for this book, and my agnosticism has me generally uninterested when religion is worked into the narrative. Then again I loved the [b:The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe 100915 The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe (Chronicles of Narnia, #1) C.S. Lewis https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1353029077s/100915.jpg 4790821] as a kid and this book has far less religion in it than that book.Overall I'm glad I finally read it, but it's not going to be a book I read again.
