Book description
Picture this: it's a dark, stormy night, and a stranger with a glowy scarf shows up at your doorstep, whispering, "Come on, we're saving the universe." That's A Wrinkle in Time in a nutshell, and the audiobook version? Absolute magic. Madeleine L'Engle's 1963 Newbery winner isn't just a classic-it's a cosmic road trip you'll want to take again and again, especially when you've got a narrator who makes you feel like you're actually flying through space with Meg Murry, her telepathic brother Charles Wallace (who sees right through your soul, by the way), and Calvin O'Keefe, the guy who's way too cool for his own good.
The magic here isn't in fancy sci-fi jargon-it's in how human it feels. Meg's not a perfect hero; she's messy, scared, and kinda grumpy. Charles Wallace? He's the kind of kid who'd tell you your life choices are "a bit off" while staring into your eyes. And the villain? A force called IT that's basically the universe's worst Wi-Fi signal-soul-sucking and aggressively boring. The audiobook nails this. You can hear the storm outside the Murry house, the whispery urgency of the three Mrs. Ws (yes, they're named Mrs. Whatsit, Mrs. Who, and Mrs. Which-because L'Engle had zero interest in being boring), and Meg's internal panic as she realizes she's not just saving her dad, but the whole fabric of reality.
What makes this audiobook sing? It's the pacing. The narrator doesn't rush you through the tesseract (yes, that's a thing-think folding space like origami, but with more existential dread). Instead, they let you feel the wonder of floating through a storm of stars, the chill of a planet where everyone's just... happy, and the sheer, jaw-dropping moment when you realize the real enemy isn't some monster-it's the terrifying comfort of not being yourself. And Charles Wallace? His voice in the audiobook is so effortlessly profound, you'll catch yourself nodding along like, "Yeah, dude. I get it."
It's not just for kids, either. Adults will chuckle at how L'Engle predicted the 1960s (and still feels shockingly relevant). The audiobook's warmth makes you forget it's been around since before your parents were born. You'll find yourself pausing your commute to hear how Meg finally stands up to IT, or how Calvin's line "I think I've found my place in the universe" lands like a perfectly timed punchline.
So yeah, skip the dusty library copy. This audiobook? It's the kind of thing you'll put on while making coffee, then realize you've been listening for an hour, utterly transported. It's not just a book-it's a reminder that the scariest things in the universe are the ones that make you feel small... and the bravest thing you can do is keep walking anyway. Don't just read it-let it swallow you whole. You'll be glad you did.

ListenBook has become my trusted companion, making even the busiest days enjoyable. Kudos to the developers for creating an app that caters to audiobook lovers like me. From sleek design to functional features, it's a true gem. ๐๐ A middle-of-the-road audiobook that neither impressed nor disappointed. The narrator's voice was agreeable enough for extended listening, though their character differentiation could have been stronger. The production met basic industry standards without any standout qualities.
