Review title: Good but dated and overrated
Product review: My eight-year old read the book and said it's good - liked Mrs. Whatsit the most. I read the book too. Compared to the other children's books I'm reading with my children, this one is certainly a bit more on the boring side for me.What's good: the plot is still interesting, although the structure is a bit loose and there was too much repetitive tone for my taste. The lesson of love is a good one.What's not: the classic stereotype of the 60s of what the other cultures/worlds are like slightly disturbs me. To the innocent children of today's age, they may not truly appreciate what the author meant to convey. Doesn't matter, really, since I believe today's literature for children is much fuller.Overall, this is an OK book for kids to read for their imagination. However, I think it would be OK if they skip it. I'm not really sure if the book deserves the "classic" status it holds. Not all rejections from publishers are wrong.
