5.0 out of 5 stars Very Original, 24 Jul 1998
By A Customer
There has certainly never been another book of this type. When the threat of a life-ending World War III arrives on Thanksgiving Day, Charles Wallace (with the help of his sister, Meg) and Gaudior, the unicorn, must save the world by traveling back in time. It may sound far-fetched, even corny, but the Madeline L'Engle presents it, it is nothing but wonderful. Though the world 'joy' appears a little too much, the story is a thrilling, interconnected fairy tale/science fiction story with a slightly religious aspect that takes you into the lives of an early American Indian, a sickly young writter, a teenage colonist and more, but never looses the main plot.

By A Customer
A Swiftly Tilting Planet is a vey entertaining book. It takes you through many times and places in history. This book brings you into the story and keeps you guessing. It is very creative and well thought. I strongly recommend reading this if you're into fantasy and adventure.

5.0 out of 5 stars A story of overwhelming power and beauty, 17 Aug 1998
By A Customer
I first read the time Quartet in fifth grade, anf while I loved them all, A Swiftly Tilting Planet has drawn me back again and again. The entire book is a wonderful kalediscope of characters and plots. It shows the importance that a small amount of goodness can do, and that we should never dismiss people without looking deeper.

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed
Although the plot is good, I agree with some readers that I'm very disappointed. Meg has a lot of faults, which is what made her seem more real, down-to-earth, than Charles. Read more
