The Young Unicorns: Book Three of The Austin Family Chronicles Audiobook

" I still don't get why it's called the Young Unicorns, but it's a great mystery. "

" A little dated now, but a great book for those who like the Austen family books. "

" When I read this book as a kid, I actually kind of hated it. I think I've always identified so much with Vicky that any Austin family book not narrated by her just wasn't worth my time. This time around, I just read it like any Madeleine L'Engle book (that is, kind of ridiculous, with weird fake science and espionage) and enjoyed it. That being said, I still don't think it really belongs with the other four books in the series. "

" Definitely one of the weaker L'Engle books. It doesn't stand on its own at all. It's hard to care about a lot of the new characters, and the lame-o plot twists are obvious from a mile away. I sort of love the Austin family, but at many points in this story, I wanted to knock their heads together. "

" I found this book quite unnerving when I first read it, and it made a profound impression. However, my proudest (most shameful?) moment was in college taking Shakespeare when the final exam included a question about Coriolanus, which I had not actually had time to read because so busy writing in my journal. I had a moment of terror, then gritted my teeth, and began, "The noted writer, Madeleine L'Engle, in her tribute to Coriolanus..." "

" liked it a lot. could not put it down "

" Love the "micro-ray" technology. Seriously dates this book. Good triumphs evil, blah blah blah. "

" One of the best of the Austin family series! "

" Even taking the Time Quartet into consideration, this is just about my favorite L'Engle book. Emily Gregory is an amazing character and the plot -- including shenanigans around St. John the Divine -- remains one of the strangest, most involving I've read, since I first read this at age 11. "

" Not one of L'Engle's better works...I'm usually quite fond of her writing, but this one disappointed. "

" L'Engle should be recommended to kids who love Harry and want some more books to read. I wouldn't start them on this one, however. They should be introduced to L'Engle through the Wrinkle in Time four book series. "

" I read this book twice now and still liked it lots. I read all the Austin Family books and am on the final one now. I don't thing they are only for young people. I'm 62!! "

" i don't get the title. there was not one reference to unicorns in the whole book. "

" A contributing factor in my mistrusting the clergy and organized religion. "

" This is book 3 - not sure why GR says 4. Better than the previous! I love Rob - wish I had a little brother like him! "

" Reread. My favorite of the Austin Family Chronicles, all of which I want to reread again. "

" This was the first book I have read about L'Engle's Austin family and it was quite a page-turner. Very enjoyable read! "

" I liked the story, but can someone please explain the title to me? Did I miss something? "

" Enjoyable reading. Interesting characters. "

" What if we could cure the "disease" of evil from humanity? This is the question the book discusses from the point of view of the Austin's and a few friends. One of my very favorite books. "

" This book was hard to put down. I don't know that I'd read it again of my own accord, but it is a mystery with staying power. "

" A great childrens story that I think could also make for great discussion in a book group. "

" I read this book and thought it was amazing and i'm currently on the fourth one now. "

" The world I visited often as I young adult. One of the many tales that filled me full of hope during the worst of days. This book began my quest to discover new worlds, the first of many fantasy novels that warmed my young adult years. "

" I first read this book in 2nd grade and I've re-read many times since then. I discover something different and understand the content through a different lens every time I read it. "

" LOVED this as a kid. Loved it slightly less as an adult, but maybe that's to be expected? "

" I wish I had liked this book more because it's considered to be somewhat of a classic but I just didn't care by the end of it. I won't be reading the rest of them. "

" I consider this a classic. "

" Absolutely loved it! I read it a long time ago, but that's what I remember...lol :) "

" I re-read this book about once every couple years, as I have since I was probably 10. Tesseract was probably my first, or nearly my first, multisyllabic word. "

" I recently got a box set of this series for my birthday... I was amazed at how they are still engaging/interesting for a 30+ year old. Stories are great and interesting. I think this is the book taht first got me interested in Science Fiction "

" I will do this for book club AR level is 4.7 so it would be for the 4-5 book club. I thought it was a bit confusing but I was reading from an adult view. Children may view it differently. "

" The Worst and most awful book I was ever forced to to read. Truly disgusting, and boring, and weird. "

" I read this with my daughter. "

" A strange book, that I reread occasionally, and understand less every time! It seems to ask questions of me that make this far from just a children's fantasy. A must read, but be prepared to open yourself to a book that is far from the simple narrative it appears. "
