Book Reviews of Troubling a Star
Book Review: "curiouser and curiouser..."
Summary: 3 Stars
Putting aside the incredibly unrealistic plot (a teenage girl going to ANTARTICA of all places during the school year and getting caught in a web of international intrigue? I don't think so - L'Engle, what were you thinking?) I was moderately melted by the diverse and well-developed characters. I read "A Ring of Endless Light" in seventh grade, then eargerly got my hands on a copy of "Troubling a Star". Big mistake. It was nothing compared to its prequels, and it gave me a headache. I put it away, thinking that I'd understand it better if I read it a few years later. Well, at least I understand it, even if I don't like it. Bottom line: Don't bother with this one; L'Engle, thanks for trying, but next time try a little harder, okay?
