I enjoyed this book, it was entertaining, but i didn't think it was anything to wrute home about. I found the story simple, the characters flat and the dramatic scenes too dramatic. Maybe I should have read it as a kid. ( )

I remembered this as a 5 star book. Upon re-reading, it didn't hold up. I guess that's the price of getting older. ( )

Meg's father mysteriously disappears after experimenting with the fifth dimension of time travel. Determined to rescue him, Meg and her friends must outwit the forces of evil on a heart-stopping journey through space and time.

Note that I bought this book and now I own it.

6/10, I enjoyed this one, but there were issues in the book that forced me to lower the rating of it to 3 stars. I didn't connect to any of the characters within the book, and I disliked some of them and found others rather bizarre. Meg wasn't very likable in the book, since she kept whining and shouting, I wonder how old she is. Charles, Meg's younger brother, wasn't any better, because he was just a caricature, he is just smarter than his contemporaries, got brainwashed by IT and that's it. Ms Who and Ms Which were very bizarre, since one of them hissed and dragged her words when she spoke, and the other one kept quoting philosophers in 7 different languages (English, Latin, Greek, French, German, Spanish, and Portuguese), who knew she could be so smart speaking all of them like that, not many people can do that.

The dystopian world called Camazotz wasn't well built, because it just felt like The Giver since everything was perfect and all the people there were emotionless and followed IT (which is just a giant brain), and that's it. The ending was convenient because Meg saved her brother by defeating IT with the power of love, how trite and banal. If you want a better dystopian novel, try The Giver, or 1984. ( )
