I'd read this when I was in fourth grade and was mesmerized by it. Since I've started a re-read challenge this year, and put a spin on it, I'm planning to re-read it. However, reading through the various comments of those who've re-read the book and not liked it have me a little worried. I don't want to lose that awe I feel when I think about the book. Guess I just need to bite the bullet and do it; gonna try to shift my mind into "child mode" before I do, though. :D I know this is an older post, but I came across it while searching for the book trailer for the re-lease of the book.

It was probably one the first sci-fi/fantasy books I read. Though I have a strong bias towards that genre in general. This was one of my favorites growing up.

The three witchy characters like you said were blah. I liked the idea of wrinkles in time and being able to travel through them but it was weird.

I love the characters in this book, even though they were pretty stereotyped. I found it a book about "the strength inside each of us" to do good. Cheesy, but I think it's a great one. Especially for awkward teenage girls. Sorry you didn't like it! See, I totally related to Meg as an awkward teenager, especially when I was a teenager.

It was one of my favorites when I was a child. To an imaginative ten-year-old, the book is absolutely enchanting, (and for some of us adults who remember it, too). Quite unique. "Wild nights are my glory," the unearthly stranger told them. "...Speaking of ways, by the way, there is such a thing as a tesseract." This is such a great book!

Up until I read it I loathed science fiction/fantasty - it was the first sf/f book I actually enjoyed and holds a special place in my heart.
