Read 2 times. Last read April 3, 2018 to April 21, 2018.

I was scared to reread this book, I hadn't read it since I was in seventh grade and that was a loooong time ago. A Wrinkle in Time was the book I would read as a kid when I was in a bad mood or bored or just because I wanted to get wrapped up in the magic of another world. I read A Wrinkle in Time for the first time in second grade and it made me fall in love with reading. Of course I liked to read before then but this book turned me into the voracious reader I am today. So as I said before I was scared to reread this book after all these years given how much it meant to my childhood. I worried I wouldn't like it and I didn't want to destroy the memory of this book.

So how do I feel after rereading it?

I didn't love it as much as I did when I was a child but that was an impossible bar to reach. I have to admit I was very confused for the majority of the book. I don't know how I understood this book as a 8 year old when I could barely keep up as a 32 year old. I'm glad I reread it and I'm glad I didn't hate it. My childhood memories remain intact. Had this been my first time reading my rating would have been lower(2.5-3 stars) but since I probably wouldn't be the reader I am today or the woman I am today without this book 4 stars seems a fitting rating.

Sara Dahaabović I like this idea of re-reading your favorite childhood books. When we were young almost anything could make us excited, but not after years and years of reading, that becomes a bit harder.


Erin So true Sara. I remember getting assigned a book to read in elementary school and instead of reading a chapter a night as assigned I would read the entire book in one sitting.


Ellen Gail I've been wanting to reread this too! I think I was maybe 10 or 11 when I read it, and I remember LOVING IT! And part of me is scared I won't like it as an adult, but maybe I'll love it even more?


Erin Good luck. I didn't like it as much as an adult but my reading preferences have changed. I still love it though.

Bernadette I find that since I’m older, I love the classics that I was supposed to (but sometimes didn’t read, do they still make Cliff Notes?) in high school. I love A Tale of Two Cities but thought it was the most boring thing ever as a teenager.


Erin Its the opposite for me, I read and loved the boring classics when I was younger and now I don't like them. I think I've devolved as a reader the older I get.
