I should read it again - it must be 30 years since I read it last. My wife tells me that the sequels were quite good as well.

6. What a fond memory. It opened an entire new world of books. |
|
The movie wasn't too bad, either.

Wow. First I've heard about this! On edit: found the trailer for the movie - doesn't look too bad! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0290382/trailers-screenplay-E22041-10-2

8. Yes, I read the sequels |
|
I've read the sequels. A Wrinkle In Time is my favourite, though. It's a series where I love all the characters. I loved the Mrs Ws in Wrinkle and Meg and Calvin and Charles, and I was fond of Sandy and Dennys too.

11. It was my favorite book when I was a child. |

It got replaced by Enders Game, then Wuthering Heights and then later The Hunchback of Notre Dame for my favorite book every written.
Still, that book was my favorite for over a decade.
I'm glad she was there for me and so many other generations of kids.

12. Loved it. She was a wonderful author. |
|
I had dinner with Madeleine once about 20 years ago -- I was just a college kid. She was very encouraging to me about my own writing. I'll never forget that.

15. I just read it for the first time |
|
after reading of her death.
I can't say I loved it. There were parts I liked, but overall, I was less-than-impressed.
