I'm not a fan of the writing at all. Take this sentence, for example, that describes Mrs. Whatsit: "Her eyes were bright, her nose a round, soft blob,I just finished reading this for the first time since, maybe college? Twelve year old Meg Murry, her precocious five year old brother Charles Wallace, and their new friend Calvin meet some highly odd beings who call themselves Mrs. Whatsit, Mrs. Who and Mrs. Which.
