5.0 out of 5 stars The best head-sorting book of my pre-teenhood, 15 Mar 2003
By A Customer
When I was younger, The Ring Of Endless Light was my absolute, unquestioned favorite book; it deals with so much stuff that, at the age of about 12 or so, begins to suddenly penetrate- death, love, basic astrophysics... It is a wonderfully varied book, showing how life can be dealt with both from a religous and scientific viewpoint, but does not preach either. It's plot is appealing, interesting and embroiling, and the central character, Vicky Austin, is very human in her foibles, which lets the reader further empathise. Overall a lovely, thought provoking and exceptionally enjoyable book that I would reccomend to any pre-teen who has an interest in things slightly beyond the ordinary.

5.0 out of 5 stars A favorite from my younger years, 2 April 2001
By A Customer
I remember reading 'A Ring Of Endless Light' at least 10 times as a young adult, on my way to gobbling up all the stories about Vicky Austin and her family that Madelaine L'Engle wrote. This is a superb novel to give any young adult, particularly one who might be struggling to come to terms with the death of a loved one.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is one of the best books I have ever read!, 12 Aug 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Ring of Endless Light (Austin Family) (School & Library Binding)
This book is one of those that can gently sort your head out when you are feeling confused about life. It uses a mixture of 'real-life' and fantasy to describe the latest part of Vicky's life, where she is trying to come to terms with the sudden and unexpected loss of a family friend and the slow deterioration of her grandfather. Added to all this is the usual teenage confusion about boys and other such growing up issues.
I first read this book when I was a young teenager, now I am in my mid-twenties, and it is still a book I come back to time and again to put perspective back on life. I cannot recommend this book enough!!
