Commentary Concering Books The Time Quartet Box Set (Time Quintet #1-4)
These books make me sad to know what kids are reading today. Very few "children's books" quote Euripides, Goethe, and include sayings in Portuguese or Welsh. These stories (A Swiftly Tilting Planet, which is my favorite, in particular) are largely responsible for the shaping of my imagination as far as time-travel, space, and the interplay between parts of history is concerned. And I always forget how beautifully anti-war they are. I also love how L'Engle weaves significant matters of faith into each story, and as a kid this definitely helped me understand that you didn't have to exclude God/faith from Fantasy/Sci-Fi. The only real complaint I have is that they all end rather abruptly, A Wrinkle in Time especially.Rating Of Books The Time Quartet Box Set (Time Quintet #1-4)

I have finally finished the series that many kids in this country grew up on. But being 26 didn't negate the fact that I really loved this series. I didn't rate all the books a five, and I was constantly annoyed with her random writing style (look who's talking...), and there were times I was confused as to who was who and when (not where) we were. But they were truly amazing. Especially the last two. I guess Many Waters was never a part of the original trilogy, and chronologically, it actuallyThis story was easy to read and engaging. I recommend to anyone who enjoys a good book. I was sad to see it end and I look forward to seeing what else I can find from this author. This story was easy to read and engaging.

I also remembered A Wind in the Door as being the "preachiest" one. (Yep, moreso than the one set in a Bible story!) Rereading this now, though first thoughts were, proudly, "Long before 'Cloud
Having finally finished reading this series, I now sit here utterly dumfounded as to how people can straight-facedly refer to them as classics. The first book in the series, A WRINKLE IN TIME, I thought was sort of OK, but that was because I expected the events of the story to be continued and expounded upon in the next book. When I saw that such wasn't the case, my appreciation for it deteriorated to the point that I'm no longer even happy I read it. The rest of the series is hardly even worth
I read "A Wrinkle In Time" as a library clerk in the children's department when it first came out and loved it. Bought this edition for my grandson and monopolized his book when I visited his home a month after sending it to him. Loved every minute. I love Science Fiction and this is excellent for the genre. I am intrigued by the fourth book, Many Waters, and its apocryphal references. Interesting interpretation.
I adored a Wrinkle in time. It's one of my all time favorites, but I feel like the series slowly deteriorated from there. I liked A Wind in the Door, but I didn't love it quite as much. Quite frankly, I fell asleep reading a Swiftly Tilting Planet. I only made it halfway through the last book. I missed the interactions between Meg and Calvin in the last 2 books. They were my favorites. And it was weird to jump from being in school to being married and pregnant. It wasn't as fun to read. My
