This is the graphic novel adaptation of A Wrinkle in Time, Madeleine L'Engle's classic fantasy from 1962, which won the Newbery award in the US and led to four sequels. It had never been published with illustrations previously, but is here adapted by Hope Larson 50 years later in 2012, for a new audience. It is an ambitious project, faithful to the original story, and attempting to cover much of its ground in very nearly 400 pages rather than present a précised version.It is difficult to ascerta...

Ok, so, I have this thing about adapted graphic novels. Basically, I'm pretty uncomfortable that they exist. I get that adapting Shakespeare into GNs is a great way to make the text (originally intended for theatrical performance, after all) sing. And, anyone who knows me knows that I j'adore sequential art. It's kinda my jam, as a rule. You might call me an advocate.And I LOVE Hope Larson's work. Mercury is super underrated as a YA graphic novel. And I know that this swept the GN awards. I get

UghHated it. The story was boring, the characters were beyond insufferable, the sci-fi element was nonsensical, and it was all so utterly dull… The artwork was okay though. Meg was one of the worst MC's I've ever had the displeasure of reading, she was such a whiny, insecure, needy, pathetic, dumb, shrewish, fishwife-esque character. I loathed her. Her annoying know it all brother and the rest of her family weren't much better either. Calvin was the only sort of decent character, but the fact th...

It's probably not possible to quantify a distinction like "Worst Movie I've Ever Seen"--but the 2018 Wrinkle in Time is a solid contender for the title. I really wanted it to be triumphant, but it was mostly a mess. So grabbing this graphic novel adaptation at the library yesterday was partly because of a yearning to go back to the real story again. It's a hefty tome, and it covers the original novel surprisingly well--many reminders of where the movie went astray (to the detriment of the movie

This is a Young Adult Fantasy/Science Fiction Graphic Novel. This book was a little weird, but I could follow it. I loved the pictures in this book, and I think the pictures really helped you follow this story line/plot.

UGH SO GOOD IM SURPRISED IT TOOK ME THIS LONG TO FINISH IT

I loved A Wrinkle in Time as a kid, and I really like Hope Larson's work, but I did not especially enjoy this graphic novel version. The fantastic characters, planets and concepts suffer from the black, blue and white graphic treatment. I prefer the more vivid product of my imagination. I wish I had trusted my gut that this was too good to be true and skipped it, instead of reading 400 pages to end up dissatisfied and disappointed. However, I probably would not have re-read Wrinkle in Time at th...

I had DNFed both the regular and graphic novel versions of this book before, but with the film coming out this year, and the book being voted in as a BOTM for Life & Lit, I figured I would give it one more chance, so I picked the graphic novel up from the library and set to it. Unfortunately, even with forcing myself to finish it, I kind of hated this book. The only reason I'm giving it 2 stars instead of 1 is because I can appreciate the fact that it was very unique for its original time of pub...

Honestly I had no intentions of reading this book, haha. I read the original book a few years ago, and I was actaully so bored and confused with it. I could barely understand anything that happened in the original book, because I honestly feel like that book does more telling than showing. Of course... I was obviously not expecting the graphic novel to be any better bUT one of my friends had this book on her shelf, and I asked if I could borrow it. So here I am now 👏🏻 I will start by saying that...

3.5Though I can tell this was a labor of love for the adapter/artist, I’m probably not the right person for an unbiased view of an adaptation of a book I read so much as a child I probably had it memorized. I did feel a frisson of recognition at the beginning with the family’s middle-of-the night sandwiches and the emptying of Mrs. Whatsit’s galoshes. But the other scenes from the original that have stayed with me through the years—the children eerily bouncing their balls in rhythm, Aunt Beast’s...

I expect a lot from my novel adaptations. If something's already an awesome book, and it's being turned into something else, be that a TV show or a movie of a graphic novel, I feel it should be equally as awesome. Is that so much to ask? You have such great material to work with. How can it go wrong? Of course, sometimes it does.I love A Wrinkle in Time and have read it many times. I was excited to read the graphic novel adaptation, because it seems like such a great book to do in the graphic no...

I kind of enjoyed reading it !!I haven't read the regular version and directly went ahead with the graphic novel.

Oh. My.Well, I can't say I enjoyed that very much, and it pretty much put me off ever re-reading the book. And I loved that book when I was a kid. Loved it!Easily, it was my favorite. I'm holding up my worn out, coverless copy as proof. But Jesus...this made me rethink why I have such fond memories of it. Was Meg always this horrible and whiny? Was Charles Wallace an obnoxious know-it-all in the book? Were all of the characters annoyingly vague and cryptic in the original? And surely the dialogu...

I was lukewarm about Madeline L'Engle's 1962 fantasy novel, A Wrinkle in Time when I originally read it, but when I saw this 2012 graphic novel recently reviewed on Goodreads, I felt a strange compulsion to have it.Wow.I kinda love it.This was a novel that adapted beautifully to illustrated storytelling, and it's the type of “tidy” graphic novel style that I like: exceptional artwork laid out in an appealing design and easy to follow narration and dialogue.It's still a weird story, and if you do...

I still haven't read the classic book, A Wrinkle in Time that's why I grabbed the opportunity to read this graphic novel. The story is quiet odd for a children's book; I was expecting that it would blow my mind because I read a lot of good reviews about it. That monotonous talking about IT certainly got on my nerves. If you could see a speech bubble when I was still reading this, this is what you might read, "When will this going to end?! This is quite dull that it's just making me wants to craw...

This graphic novel is actually better than the book, in my opinion. I liked the book, but parts of it was a bit hard to track. The visual helped immensely and the art was well done.

I haven't read the original. I didn't enjoy this book, I don't like science fiction usually so I thought a graphic novel version might help me with this. After liking the first couple of chapters I began to lose track of what was happening. Nearly every page had anxious faces and characters disappearing, not knowing what was happening, characters asking questions without answers. There was some sort of time slip to another planet, some old ladies, one called Mrs Whatsit and some other confusing

[This lady, who is old enough to know better, is being petty and mean.]Adaptations from literature into the comics form have it pretty rough. It's not like with movies where a charismatic star or a sublime musical score can provide lift for a work. Unless an adapter is wildly liberal in the work of adaptation, comics have exactly two things to work with: writing (provided largely by the original author) and art through which to carry forth the dialogical and narrative aspects of the work (respec...

2.5 - Soooo this took me a millennium to finish. Never have I ever met a more unlikable protagonist than Meg. I just don't get the amazement around A Wrinkle in Time, and the movie this year also underwhelmed me. I liked the art and concept of a graphic novel adaptation.

THIS is what generations of kids have held near and dear to their hearts? This? Seriously?! Meg is whiny and incredibly annoying. Charles Wallace is arrogant and also annoying. The lame attempts at making it religious and mention of Jesus seemed half-hearted and were EXTRA annoying. If the Murray kids weren’t so insufferable on every single page, this graphic novel would have been much more bearable. I can’t remember the last time I had to push myself so hard just to finish a book. It is also fi...
