I tried reading A Wrinkle in Time once before, in middle school. At the time, I was uninterested. Reading it again, I found it a decent read. It was a bit overly-preachy with the Christian elements at parts, and there was a lot of unanswered questions (like why, if they could go through time, their father had to be left in that prison for so long, and why he couldn't've been returned to the same time he left, not to mention the rather surprising uselessness of allegedly superhuman beings). Still, it was a decent read, and quick. I read about half of it today at work. It was completely dead the first part of the day. ^_^ Current Mood: full
