I have loved Wrinkle in Time since I first read it in grade school. It is a wonderful book that never gets old. I thought that the audio version would be perfect for my iPod. I have to say, while I love the author's books, her reading this story is horrible. As the another reviewer said, she has a lisp or speech impediment or something. It is almost impossible to finish this audio version. Her reading is also very slow in spots, especially when she is reading the parts of Mrs. Which. I would love to hear this read by a professional reader or an actor. Perhaps now that she has passed away, someone will revisit making the audio version of Wrinkle in Time.
