Ohhhh Madeleine L'Engle where are you going with this series???? I soooooo desperately want to love the rest of the books in the Wrinkle series, but I just don't... You are such a gifted and talented writer, and I see the underlying tones of Christianity in your writing, but I feel your message gets so jumbled up with all these family generations and crazy names and "out in left space" plot lines. It overall makes the storyline too hard to follow for me.

"Hate hurts the hater more'n the hated."

There are some great lessons in these books for kids to grasp onto, I think these get lost in the crazy maze you have to take to get through the book. And as a fairly decently educated adult I'm getting lost, then I know these wonderful themes are getting lost on the younger generation this was intended for. After this book, I may have to take a break from this series and come back to it later.....
