I was ecstatic at finding a dramatized version of this book, and to discover the rest of the series available too. the cast performed wonderfully.

I chose this book because the description said it told the history of Ireland in an engaging way. it does not. it is very dry - like textbook dry. Planning on exchanging it.

The narration is just ok. the narrator does not put much emotion into it, so it's easy for one's attention to wander and to lose track of the story being told. The story itself is also fairly dull and bland, making it difficult to pay attention to. I'm glad this was a free original. If I had paid for it, I would exchange it.

Like much of Madeline L'Engle's work this story is engaging from start to finish. It's a growing up tale and captures all that that entails. It's the tale of a teenager who begins to discover not only what it means to mature into adulthood: including what it means to see, understand, and accept complexity; complexity of one's self, of others, and of the relationships between.

This story is not as immediately engaging as the Time Quintet. I didn't get to hear nearly as much from or about Dr. O'Keif and Meg as I would have liked.

Best Story, Mediocre Recording

Of the first 4 Time Quintet books I've listened to, this one has the most elaborate and interesting story, but the quality of the recording is very poor. I wish they'd clean it up or redo it. it sounds like it was recorded on an old fashioned every day hand held tape recorder. (Do people even still have those anymore?) All the other books in this grouping have crisp, clean recordings that sound like they're dinne in a modern recording studio. including the next book, An Acceptable Time read by the same narrator as this.

I am a huge fan of Madeline L'Engle's Time Quintet bells and would recommend the whole series to everybody.

This book is as good as its predecessor. The science is brought down to an understandable level and made to feel like magic.

As is so often the case, the book is so much better than either of the movies that represent it. The characters are richer and relatable. Their journey is inspiring. The author makes the reader wish he or she could jump into the pages of the story and become a part of it.

I've never read the original Peter Pan, but I loved listening to it. The cast did an excellent job acting it out and the voices and sound effects were well mixed in appropriate ratios.
