"This was good ... it was a different stroke from L'Engle's other books about the Austins -- much more in the vein of "A Small Rain" or "A Severed Wasp". It wasn't the light, easy read I'd gotten accustomed to as I read the other Austin books (I'll admit, I read them out of order). This one actually brings in some of the characters from "A Severed Wasp", so that was fun."
"this one is so dramatically different from moon by the night and meet the austins! i didn't realize how NYC has such a culture of fear in the 60s. it's a little creepy, a little exciting, and no one gets seriously hurt. five stars all around. however- why the young unicorns? other than one little reference to the unicorn tapestry (nothing like in and both were young) i could find no unicorns in this book."
"I didn't like the Alphabats, but it was clever, sort of like Alphabet (and they were A, B, C, etc. in order of rank. A was highest, B next highest, etc.) and then they were Bats too. I thought that was clever. Also the Micro-Ray was cool. I hope we never get that sort of technology in our society until we become more responsible. It's dangerous."
"I picked this up at the library on my bike ride a few weeks ago. I couldn't resist its newly issued cover, and I only read this particular L'Engle once, a long time ago, in the beginning of high school. I figured it was time for a re-read. It's not my favorite of her books, but it certainly is an entertaining and tightly-woven mystery with a touch of the bizarre. Woah, and I just discovered through a little bit of Googling that as a grown-up Suzy marries Josiah Davidson, which I had never realized before. Strange!"
