That definitely colored my reading of it, but I still really enjoyed it. <br /><br />Nymeth - I wish I'd reread Wrinkle before reading this. I love that book, but it has been years since I read it. <br /><br />Sandy - Hmm, I'm not sure I would have enjoyed it if I read it for the first time as an adult. I'm always bummed when I find a book I missed out on as a kid. It's just not the same. <br /><br />Jenners - I know what you mean. The 70s aren't a familiar period for me, but I love reading ones from a time or place that I recognize. <br /><br />Kailana - It does feel like a companion piece and I think that's what I liked about it.<br /><br />Bittner - Glad you stopped by! I don't think you need to read Wrinkle first, but it would definitely enhance your experience. Plus, it's a great book!<br /><br />Jeanne - I think for me it didn't even fall into the time travel story category. The characters' stories seemed more interesting than that element.Melissa (Avid Reader)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02119628715475021774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-3927498231076666732012-02-28T19:33:19.073-05:002012-02-28T19:33:19.073-05:00I didn't much like this book, but maybe I was ...I didn't much like this book, but maybe I was too old and had already read too many better time travel stories.Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01374498643286099244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-82478723656486203932012-02-28T18:15:49.072-05:002012-02-28T18:15:49.072-05:00I had to stop on this review in my google reader b...I had to stop on this review in my google reader because that cover just jumped out at me! And the story sounds really interesting, so I'll have to add this to my tbr list.

I love how this book felt like it was written in the past (not the setting but the tone of it felt like books I remember reading when I was a kid in the 1970s. I don't think I'm expressing this right.Jennershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08044537551139633301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-74330331363527860532012-02-28T07:11:53.021-05:002012-02-28T07:11:53.021-05:00I'm probably the only person on earth that doe...I'm probably the only person on earth that doesn't have fond memories of A Wrinkle In Time (I just read it for the first time a couple of years ago and was not all that thrilled with it). But I have heard a lot of excellent things about this book. Scholastic was really pushing it in their book fairs. I love time traveling, even if it is only a small part of the book.Sandy Nawrothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00564390728106776030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-53332166179919779792012-02-28T05:53:21.022-05:002012-02-28T05:53:21.022-05:00I've actually just finished this as well!

I picked it up because I'd just re-read A Wrinkle in Time, and having the L'Engle fresh in my mind enhanced the experience.Ana S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16092495983972185943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-44463896196155528922012-02-28T04:49:43.529-05:002012-02-28T04:49:43.529-05:00This was one of the best of 2010 for me.

I went into it without knowing about time-travelling and only suspecting because of the references about Wrinkle in Time.<br /><br />It's short, but so well accomplished.Alex (The Sleepless Reader)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03083761152675156469noreply@blogger.com
