"About half as good as the first book in the series, but still an amazing work that explains advanced topics incredibly well and makes you think"

"The Wrinkle in Time trilogy plus Many Waters have the same characters solving problems. Great good vs evil books for upper elementary and young adult readers."

"This was just ridiculous. The first one was okay, if not a little far-fetched. But I like my fantasy and science fiction to at least be somewhat seated in reality. Not just making things up for the sake of doing so. "Micro-sonarscope?" Really? "Paraboloidoscope?" Utterly ridiculous."
