Download Free A Wrinkle In Time

I have loved this book since my 5th grade teacher read it to our class
many years ago. And I have read it to every one of my 3rd and 5th grade
classes over my past 18 years of teaching. Supposedly a movie had been
made in the past, but I'd never been able to locate it. Well, my
students and I were all so excited when we heard that Disney had
brought Madeline L'Engle's excellent book to the screen.

As I watched the movie, I had the highest of hopes. As the film went
on, I became more and more despondent. They had botched it badly! Never
had I been so let down by a favorite book-to-film adaption. I
understand that films can't stick strictly to a book, but they don't
need to change things for the sake of it! Most, if not all, of
departures from the book were totally unnecessary!

I kept my opinion to myself at first and just listened to my students
discuss the movie. Well, it wasn't just me. Nearly every single one
felt the same way--cheated out of the great story that Madeline L'Engle
had so skillfully created!

Why, they wondered, did Aunt Beast look like Chewbacca from the star
wars movie? Why couldn't Calvin's hair have been red? Why did Mrs.
Which not have the proper "witch-like" outfit that was such a clever
play on her name? Basically, we all wondered--why did nearly every
single detail have to be changed?

I have always dreamed of how wonderful a movie this book would make. I
am still waiting for that movie. This one was A Wrinkle in Time in only
the broadest of senses. I'm going to write to Peter Jackson and try to
convince him to take on the task!.

a wrinkle in time was a really good book but im hoping to see the movie cant wait .

This is a good web.

awesome movie this is the best! .

DDDDDDDDDDDDDD GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG.

sssssssssssssssssssss jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj.

Princess and the Pony was so good! My sister loved it! :D.

very fantastic and imaginative movie .

I'm surprised so many of the reviews here say "I haven't read the
book..."

I read the novel in either 1962 or 1963, probably sometime during the
'62-63
school year,
when I was in the 5th grade. It came out in '62 and I know I read it
before
I moved to France
in late '63 (on the day Kennedy was killed).

I remember it vividy, and fondly, as it was my earliest exposure to
tesseracts. (A couple of
years later, circa 1966-67, I found more complete explanations in George
Gamow's "One,
Two, Three...Infinity." And in Heinlein's "And He Built a Crooked House.")
And the recitation
of the periodic table prepared me for Tom Lehrer!

The movie is semi-cheesy, as expected from a relatively low budget.

I hope it encourages more kids to actually read the novel.
