Reader reviews for The Wrinkle in Time Quintet

Review summary

This seller has earned a 4.24 of 5 Stars rating from internet customers.

4.24 / 5 (6312 total reviews)

Readers widely credit Madeleine L’Engle’s Time books—especially A Wrinkle in Time—with opening the door to science fiction for young readers, praising their imagination, clear explanations of big ideas, and themes of love, courage, and the battle against evil. Many report strong nostalgia and emotional payoff, while noting the books read firmly as YA. Critiques center on shaky or fanciful science, dreamlike plotting, and increasingly overt Christian elements that some find heavy?handed; continuity is seen as weak in later volumes, prompting many to recommend stopping after the first one or two. Overall, the series is influential and engaging for kids but polarizing and uneven for adults revisiting it.
