A Wrinkle in Time

This book is short and wholesome. Be sure to check it out soon, the movie comes out in March! Even though the movie promos are what led to me the book, I wish I had read it before I saw the movie trailer. Not even kidding I spent so long wondering whether Ms. Who, Ms. Which or Ms. Whatsit was Oprah, and kept having to re-read things because I was missing the point. Always read the book first kids. lol

On to the actual book... Meg was a great protagonist, and I loved the relationship between her, Charles and Calvin. L’Engle did a good job of showing their relationship naturally progress throughout the story, without going to far or too fast. You never forget that they’re kids, and you can see their connection is deeper than a regular friendship or sibling relationship. Sometimes in books (mostly with TV shows) you see teens and kids talking and it’s really unnatural. I liked how Charles was connected to Meg and his mother, and how Calvin took to their family so quickly. It was a little different than the typical book/movie gang of kids but I liked it a lot. 

The only thing I didn’t like, even though ~I know~ it made Meg a more realistic character, was her tantrum when she lashed out at Aunt Beast. I wanted her to be more poised, and respect what the planet had given her up to that point. I realize she had a lot of disappointment for her father but I hated reading her break down. *sigh* I get that it was unfair of me to expect her to take all of it in stride, especially with Charles Wallace gone, but still. I guess the darkness gets all of us sometimes.

One last thing is that I wish I had read this in elementary or middle school. I’ve always had a fascination with dystopian novels, and I think this would have been a great introduction to the genre, or to fantasy/sci-fi. The earliest fantasy book I remember enjoying was The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, but it wasn’t enough for me to finish the series. I wanted stories with a female lead, so I l ended up with book series’ like Gossip Girl, The Clique, and Pretty Little Liars, and left my interest in sci-fi behind for a while. It wasn’t until high school that I discovered 1984 and was less bothered by a male-centered storyline.  A Wrinkle in Time has a good message overall, and it would be a great starter for someone intimidated by big fantasy series’ or complex political commentary. I would recommend for anyone working with kids, anyone who wants to see a badass female character take on other dimensions and anyone looking for a quick read before the movie comes out.

did anyone else read those other Madeline Lengle books besides A Wrinkle in Time? I'm perpetually fucked up about the way all of them interlock even though they almost never acknowledge the events of each other

Hot take: Casual Fanship/Fandom

Casual Fanship/Fandom ruins a thing. Not sorry.

I try not comedown on casual fans of any thing, because we all get our beginnings there, but lately I have been watching casual fandom run down the quality or hooks of some of my favorite things from anime, to games, to rap music to sci-fi and fantasy. I was a casual fan as wrll however I grew INTO a thing and most casual fans these days feel entitled a thing be so nebulous as to fit them comfortably and when you point out that they love a loosely knit version of the real thing it’s who are you to define it. I have listened to rap music for over 20 years I remember when it was the bane of the US and how they were trying to set-up the now beloved Snoop Dog for a murder he didn’t commit. I remember his performance on stage declaring his innocence. I know what rap/hip-hop is and the shit is watered down with pop/edm/and ghostwriting you can hardly call it rap/hip-hop at this point. I have been watching anime since was a little girl which spawned a fascination with Japanese culture behind, when I tell you that you’re mixing genres of anime and failing to do shonen/shoujou/mecha right and your style needs work, I’m drawing on years of engagement. When I say your story is nothing but a drama, a soapy drama at that, with a couple sci-fi elements but not actual sci-fi and seems like a disingenuous attempt to hook another market I am speaking from being a avid reader of Issac Asimov, Carl Sagan even tried some hard sci-fi reading like Rendevous with Rama by Arthur Clark. When I say your fantasy show fav is nothing but reiteration of teenage drama shows from the 90s with wigs and costumes it’s only because I read and watched LOTR, GOT/ASIOAF, and Harry Potter but also various others Stephen King, CS Lewis, Madeline Lengle. Even now I continue to grow INTO these things discover Black and POC writiers of these genres like Octavia Butler, NK Jemisin and Steven Barnes.

Casual Fanship/Fandom ruins a thing when it demands being accomdated for it’s preferences rather than calling on it’s interest to be more engaged and understanding.
