    A Wrinkle In Time was fucking insulting.

    I think it was much worse for people that actually liked the book.

      Is that even possible, the movie was fucking awful and I never read the book.

        The book is actually very good for children's literature. Its kid-friendly way of describing how wormholes work stuck with me.

          for me it felt like gaiman/ishiguro/murakami for kids

          the main impressions i have left of it are of trippy kaleidoscopic space fabric and someone in a jar; i distinctly recall being very frustrated that the author did not bother to explain in great detail exactly how the space witch went from being a star to being a space witch

          child me yearned for the spreadsheets

      Agreed. I read it when I was in 5th Grade and thought it was wonderful. I noped out of the movie when Reese Witherspoon [?] turned into a flying carpet.
