Review - 'A Wrinkle in Time' by Madeleine L'Engle
I think I went into A Wrinkle in Time with too high of expectations. While it was a fun read with a quirky plot, for me it never crosses the line from good into great territory. Meg is an enjoyable female protagonist and her love for her family is admirable. But the main plot is quite cheesy and you can see where it was headed. Probably the biggest negative for me is that the book is saturated with a religious zeal that seems out of place in a story line about technologies of the future. Perhaps if I were younger, I would have liked this more, but as an adult this doesn't quite capture the magic I was hoping it would.
