Summary
Madeleine L’Engle’s ground-breaking science fiction and fantasy classic, now a major motion picture. This audiobook includes an introduction read by the film director Ava DuVernay, a foreword read by the author, and an afterword read by Madeleine L’Engle’s granddaughter Charlotte Jones Voiklis.
Meg Murray, her little brother Charles Wallace, and their mother are having a midnight snack on a dark and stormy night when an unearthly stranger appears at their door. He claims to have been blown off course, and goes on to tell them that there is such a thing as a “tesseract”, which, if you didn’t know, is a wrinkle in time. Meg’s father had been experimenting with time-travel when he suddenly disappeared. Will Meg, Charles Wallace, and their friend Calvin outwit the forces of evil as they search through space for their father?
In 1962, Madeleine L’Engle debuted her novel A Wrinkle in Time, which would go on to win the 1963 Newbery Medal. Bridging science and fantasy, darkness and light, fear and friendship, the story became a classic of children’s literature and is beloved around the world.
A Wrinkle in Time is the first book in The Time Quintet, which consists of A Wrinkle in Time, A Wind in the Door, A Swiftly Tilting Planet, Many Waters, and An Acceptable Time.

Good but not the Great I was expecting
This book started well for me, story and character building were captivating. However, I felt it weakened towards the end and didn't have the climax early build up indicated it would have.
I'm not saying it isn't worth a listen as it is but I wouldn't say it's brilliant and am not in a rush to read again. Perhaps what was ahead of it's time is no longer as intriguing to modern day reader/listener.

Wonderful
I've loved this book ever since I first read it. The performance does the book justice and I've listened to it several times since I bought it. It really is worth listening to. Camazotz and IT give me the shivers every time. This is a wonderful book in the sense that parts of it fill me with wonder.

sci fi for the young adult.
its a long time since I was a young adult but I did enjoy this book. its not in the harry potter or the secrets of the immortal Nicholas flamel series league but is a good introduction into the sci fi/ fantasy genre leading onto the great writers - Arthur c clark, Asimov, neil gaiman, terry pratchet.and phllip pullman
fast paced, good characterisation, a little scary, a happy ending what more could you ask for.
the narrator at times seemed to be a little stilted but acted the parts well.

confusing at first... and up to the end... Catchy.
first few chapters were quite confusing as I struggled to understand the purpose of the book and the storyline. But once the journey began, I knew I was in for a thrill.

very good
little will most know or realise how significant this book really is. I'm not at all surprised they tried banning it. or did so for a while. what surprises me is it still ain't banned.
