Very gripping. I don't read many thrillers because I'm a wimp and scare easy, but I loved this.

My daughter and I fought over who would get to read our copy first. She won, so she could finish and return to required school reading. We both read it this weekend and loved it - Every bit as exciting as Hunger Games. While some story elements get wrapped up, it does leave you wanting the third in the trilogy!

I did not love this like so many other people obviously do. Maybe because I never read Wrinkle in Time. I did enjoy the last 30-40 pages. I might have been distracted trying to figure out why it was set in the seventies and what the mother being on a quiz show had to do with the plot.
