3.5 stars. I know this book is a classic, and I did enjoy it. I love the overall theme - that individuality and free will and love are the essence of life. Science fiction is not my favorite genre, so the time- and interplanetary- travel notions didn't really appeal to me. ( )

"The foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called, but God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty. And base things of the world, things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are." - Mrs. Who's second gift to Meg is a quote from 1st Corinthians 1:25-29
Don't be afraid to be afraid. We will try to have courage for you. That is all we can do.
