I don’t remember what a wrinkle in time was about but I remember loving it as a kid. I have to re-read it because I’m not enjoying An Acceptable Time as much. I don’t think it’s because I’m older. It’s because the characters are not believable and don’t connect to each other which makes it impossible for me to connect to them. The story seems chopped up and doesn’t flow. I like religious fiction but this one was too preachy and predictable.

ReplyDeleteDid you read the NYT article about adults fighting (not physical but jokingly) with young adults on teen books. It's hilarious. Hey I read kids books-wink.
