I have so many audiobooks now after the summer, all lined up and waiting for me. This was the first of my new collection! It feels important to re-read this book now since the movie adaptation is being released soon (2018). I am really excited to see Reese Witherspoon, Mindy Kaling, and Oprah Winfrey play Mrs. Whatsit, Mrs. Who, and Mrs. Which! 
 I definitely read this series as a child, but I actually remember very little of it. In fact, it was much more existential and symbolic than I expected it to be. I have a feeling that I missed out on a lot of the meaning when I read it in a literal way in childhood. I'm still not really sure if I have understood all of it. Mrs. Whatsit is a big of a god-figure, omnipresent and all-loving. Charles Wallace was certainly symbolic of... something. I think it's interesting how often Meg's mother was described as "beautiful." I think it is a motif which perhaps describes the inner beauty of someone who has a lot of faith? She believed and had hope that Meg's father would return, even when logic gave her no reason to. 
 Hope Davis was an awesome narrator. She was great at differentiating the voices, in a subtle yet distinctive way. It didn't feel like she was a person making silly voices, rather it actually sounded like different people (tone, pronunciation, quality of the voice itself). I don't know how she did it but I was very impressed. 
 I like the world that Madeleine L'Engle created. I think this might have been one of my earlier Sci-Fi books, and it's a genre I loved growing up. The young love between Meg and Calvin is ADORABLE! So sweet, warms my heart! Overall, the book is very well-written. I am also impressed by the rich vocabulary used in the book. I imagine it was a nice challenge for me when I was a young reader. 
 This is a very thought-provoking book. I think it's worth reading, for kids and adults alike. I think it's one of those books which mean something different to you every time you re-read it. Recommended for all!
