It took awhile for me to warm to this book, but in the end I liked it better than 'A Wrinkle in Time'. Why? I liked that L'Engle was writing more in the open about science, and about faith, and the hocus-pocus that comes about when you put the two together. I mean that in the best way possible. It w...
After reading A Wrinkle in Time and discovering the interesting concepts of that world, I've decided to continue reading Madeleine L'Engle's Time Quintet series. I picked up A Wind in the Door shortly after finishing the first book and basically got more of the same. Great story concepts; poorly wri...
A Wind in the Door is the follow up story to one of my favorite books, A Wrinkle in Time. Moving forward in time a couple years, we catch up with Meg, Calvin, and Charles Wallace as they take on another cosmic adventure. This time around, Charles Wallace is very ill, and Meg and Calvin meet new bein...
I read this one in less than a day when home sick from work. I was unimpressed. I don't know if I read this before or not, but I'm personally not a fan of metaphysics ...allow me to explain. I consider myself a scientist. I understand science. I consider myself a spiritual person. I understand s...
I try to be kind and balanced in my reviews, but I struggled with this one. A Wind in the Door is honestly one of the most irritating children’s books I’ve ever encountered. I understand that it’s a beloved classic, but I just . . . couldn’t deal with it. The book starts out in a promising way. Si...
So this series is one of the books that I love reading again and again. Reading as a kid is definitely different than one reads a child. To me when I was a child, it seemed highly plausible that one could travel within one's brother and heal them. As an adult, it took a little more getting use to.Th...
There's something wrong with Charles Wallace. He gets tired too easily, he looks pale, and he is being severely bullied at school. Meg is terribly worried about him. So is their mother, even if she doesn't want to admit it. Just then, they meet The Teacher. Turns out, there IS something really wrong...
A Wind in the Door by Madeleine L'Engle is the sequel to A Wrinkle in Time. In this story there is an evil that is wreaking havoc on both a cosmic and a microscopic level. On the cosmic level stars seem to be disappearing and on the microscopic level people are getting sick with a strange disease af...
This is the second book in a classic trilogy of children's books. It's shelved in the section for the seven to thirteen set, but I'm reading it for the first time as an adult. There are some children's or young adult books I've first read as an adult I've loved without qualification. I wouldn't thou...
I have read A Wrinkle In Time and absolutely loved it. This one.... Not so much. It was interesting, but just too weird. I'm just not the kind of person to read science fiction, so that's why it was so weird to me. Wrinkle In Time was science fiction too, but this was... just too much for me. But if...
