Comment On Of Books The Time Trilogy (Time Quintet #1-3)

I really do like this book, even though it often gives me minor frustration palpitations. This is a reread, so I'm not as objective as I would be coming to it for the first time. The Meg/Calvin relationship in book one continues to drive me nuts because it is so completely out of nowhere, and the heavy-handed religious aspect continues to annoy me, but I knew what I was getting into the first time and don't want to make a big thing about it. It's still a light, fun, easy read, and I do still

I'm reading this at 38, not 12 like you're probably supposed to, so I wasn't blown away by this like everyone seems to be, however I do see how it was a very influential, ahead-of-its-time novel! The first one flew by and was great, the second one I found to be quite a slog, as nothing seems to much happen and it's just a lot of repeating its concepts to make sure you Really Get It, but then book 3 was fun again as the explaining was out of the way, and there was a story again.

The books brilliantly handle the topics on everyones mind in the 1960s. Most interesting to me was book #3 which advanced 3 of the 4 children to adulthood and made the oldest pregnant. This is an unexpected twist for a childrens book.

So, as a trilogy, I enjoyed the journey, but I don't know that I'd continue on through the entire quintet. The first two volumes of this collection were fun and enjoyable, but the third book I struggled with keeping an interest. I quite enjoyed the character of the Unicorn, Gaudior, but the time leaping and trying to keep track of who Charles Wallace was Within, and which one was a decendant of whom, it just got tedious and I found myself falling asleep after almost every chapter (which would be

SciFi Fantasy fun! Not my usual cup of tea but really enjoyed these quick reads.

A fantastic story. Learned a new word: tesseract -In geometry, the tesseract is the four-dimensional analog of the cube; the tesseract is to the cube as the cube is to the square.

I rated the three books individually, so I won't really bother to do that here. I will say that the three-star rating is just the average of the ratings for the three individual books. I will also say that I bought this a number of years ago because people gush about A Wrinkle in Time and I thought it would be a good addition to my personal library. I don't feel that way now, having finished the trilogy. I'd rather have the vacated space put to better use.
