Book Reviews of A Ring of Endless Light
Book Review: awesomely aweome
Summary: 5 Stars
i would rate this as higher than a ten if i could. The first time i read this book, i was in sixth grade. i'm in eighth grade now and i've read literally about twenty times since then. this is the kind of book that makes you want to be IN it, and you kind of wonder what the characters are doing now...myself, i was kind of sad when the book ended because i liked it so much that i wanted it to go on...but "art is never finished, it just stops at an interesting place"...this truly is art...madeleine l'engle ROCKS and this is probably my favorite of her books, actually my favorite book in the world.
and the whole thing about dolphin-human communication is so plausible i wanted to try it myself...i love dolphins, though i've never gotten to hang around one for very long. Vicky's poetry and her friendship with adam and with the dolphins and with her dying grandfather help her get through a time when she's questioning the whole fact of being, when she feels surrounded by death and is trying to find a sense to existence, when it seems like her world is somewhat crashing down (i've certainly felt like that!), and when she isn't quite sure where she belongs in the span of her life.
i've talked for a long while now but it's so nice to be able to rave about something you love. i really identified with the heroine of the story. an truly awesome book.
PS-- after Troubling a Star, are there any new books with vicky in them??
