A Wrinkle in Time

A Wrinkle in Time has been my favorite book since I was a little girl and Madeline L'Engle is my all time favorite author. I would love to hear more of her books in audio. Madeline L'Engle's voice as the narrator is WONDERFUL. I love her unique style.
Narrator Awful

I respect the author's success with this book but stopped after the first tape. Her voice is simply awful.
Narrator, ugh!

I'm sure this is a great book, but I had a really hard time listening to the narrator. I know she is the author, but her speaking voice wasn't the best choice for the reading of this book. I got this for my son and I to listen to and he gave up on it before it was finished because he didn't want to listen to her voice any longer.

Too fantastical for me. Plus the author/narrator's lisp made it difficult to understand at times.

This is a very enjoyable story that brings together the scientific/mathematical and the magical. The characters are lively and believeable in their quirky ways. The gratuitous quotations from scripture by extraterrestrials was a bit distracting. It was interesting to hear the author read the characters' dialogue, particularly Meg's emotional outbursts. In my mind I would have toned her down quite a bit, so it was good to heard her personality as it was intended. It felt like being read to by your grandmother!

While the story is as excellent as I recall from reading it in the 5th grade, the author's reading of this book was one of the worst I've ever heard. The language was sometimes hard to make out because she wasn't very clean in her speech. Her voice inflection seemed to be the same when trying to convey the various types of excitement from the characters. This book would have been a better listen if someone professional did the reading. And I understand the uniqueness of having the author read, but maybe she just should have been the voices of certain characters instead of all.

I know this was a kid's book but I think I enjoyed it as much as my young son did. It was full of intrigue and mystery and kept us both wanting to hear more. Geared for kids I think just a bit older than my son who was 6 since he did not understand everything in the story.

What a great surprise. I knew nothing about the book. It is precious. I am a great sci-fi fan but was caught unaware - such a good surpirse.

Im 34. I didnt read as a kid, but I still have an imagination. This book needs you to have that. I really enjoyed it, from the authors opening anecdote that "grown ups like to spend a lot of time inside rooms with doors that lock" to the universal voyages this story takes you on. And it reminded me of the anxieties of being an akward kid, just trying to figure what the hell is going on. I was surprised how many friends mentioned or cautioned me about the religious references, but I didnt see the fuss.. Im still trying to decide if its a childrens book, or a book for 'child like' minds.. and I'm glad to say, it was both to me. Having the author narrate gave it even more 'credibility', and I thought L'Engle did a great job. Only thing I can pout about is this slowly brewing story seems to end in one quick 'gust of the wind'. Whoosh! and its over. I wanted to hear more..

well read by author. if she has a lisp it did not bother us. the more we listened the more entralled we were with the story. our children (3 under the age of 7) loved the story. Some parts were intense but still very interesting for the kids. I would recommend it. Such a great great book!
