5.0 out of 5 stars An important and a resplendent book., 21 Jul 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: A Wind in the Door (Paperback)
Ms. l'Engle's previous book, A Wrinkle in Time, is an inspiring and profound work, and this is the nth degree above it. The reader can tell that her writing style has matured. She does not slip into a didactic mode which (slightly) mars the last chapter of Wrinkle. The science fact and science fiction are sufficient to satisfy buffs of the genre, and sufficiently subtle not to get in the way of those to whom they do not appeal. (whew) More important, though, is the theme, which reaches and suffuses through your mind. Reading Ms. l'Engle's books was my first truly mind-expanding experience.

It is a red herring to call this work a children's book. What it truly is is a book for those who want to expand their mind and their view of the universe, including children. I first read this book at age 11 and have continued to read it repeatedly up until 17; I expect to continue to reread it for a long time to come.

5.0 out of 5 stars More Than Lives Up to 'A Wrinkle in Time', 24 Jul 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: A Wind in the Door (Paperback)
Madeline L'Engle's lovable trio of Meg, Calvin and Charles Wallace battle another fight against evil in this enchanting companion book. Ms. L'Engle's attention to detail shows through in this book, who's pages are filled with descriptive scenes of terror, peace and love. Each character has it's own distinct personality and what they do is never unbelievable. We are taken on a few side trips to make the story more interesting, and my only complaint is that there is a little too much 'joy'.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mesmerizing!, 29 Jun 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: A Wind in the Door (Paperback)
This book was terrific! The plot is well-laid-out, though a bit slow at first, and the characters are wildly imaginitive.

Charles Wallace has a smaller part in this book than in A Wrinkle in Time, but still important. The ideas and concepts are well thought-out, like talking to a farandola and kything. Mr. Jenkins is brought into a new light, as is Meg. A kinda-new character is launched; the Echthroi. They were known as The Black Thing.

All in all, this book is a no-miss!
