A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'EngleMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
I never read this as a kid and became curious about it when I saw the previews for the movie. The book wasn't for me and now I don't really want to see the movie either. It took me several weeks to read because I could never get into it. I just plowed through trying to find a way to like it like so many others seem to, but that never happened for me.
SPOILER:
I didn't care for the way religion hits you over the head in this book. Maybe if I'd read it as a child, before I became cynical about religion, I would have enjoyed it more. I've seen comparisons with The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe which I read as a kid and once as an adult. I enjoyed that. At least the religion was much more subtle and symbolic there.
