‘A Wrinkle in Time’ is beautifully written and has quite the storyline of a classic sci-fi novel. Its themes, fictional planets, and characters are unique and not nearly as generic as most books of this genre are. After reviewing the book, I’ve come up with a few headings for how I think L’Engle gave strength to the book.
L’Engle’s ‘A Wrinkle in Time’ is not only one of the earliest sci-fi books for young adults but also one of the best from such a genre. From space tech to space travel, from extraterrestrial life forms to aliens and beasts on another planet, among other things. The book includes all the core components that readers of sci-fi books love to see. L’En...
L’Engle’s ‘A Wrinkle in Time’ clearly is a book for young people and is rightly stated by the author. However, it is interesting to see the number of brave showings on the part of the child characters, especially Meg, and frankly, we shouldn’t be seeing this level of intrepidness from this age grade.

But even acclaimed authors know that their best work is never complete or perfect. So in this light, I’ve singled out below a few aspects of the book which I think make up the book’s weakness.
This is one of the very few faults that the reader can easily notice while reading L’Engle’s ‘A Wrinkle in Time.’ one can understand the author’s need to try and bring to life the ideas of her characters, but that comes at the expense of having unnecessarily verbose dialogues that work in complete deterrence to the speed of rising action at importa...
L’Engle does an impressive job of describing her lead character Meg Murry – along with a few others; for these lot, the descriptions are so good that reading the words feels like one is seeing their pictures. While this can be said of Meg, it can’t exactly be said of other characters – some of which are the three-star sisters whose descriptions sti...
