When Charles Wallace Murry goes searching through a 'wrinkle in time' for his lost father, he finds himself on an evil planet where all life is enslaved by a huge pulsating brain known as 'It'. How Charles, his sister Meg and friend Calvin find and free his father makes this a very special and exciting mixture of fantasy and science fiction, which all the way through is dominated by the funny and mysterious trio of guardian angels known as Mrs Whatsit, Mrs Who and Mrs Which. (I copied the resume off Amazon because I couldn´t remember the story!)

I´ve heard that this book is a classic. That it was supposed to be REALLY good. Well, it certainly disappointed me. The most exciting thing about it was the beginning, where the first sentence is "It was a dark and stormy night". I think it was one of the worst books I have ever read, unfortunately.

I´ve been told that I was too young when I read this (I was 11) so maybe that was a contributing factor, but I really didn´t like it so I don´t think that was the only reason.
