Query: mystical pseudo-biology does not a novel make

I usually really, really like L'Engle, but this book deserved to be flung full-force against a wall. A preachy, incoherent plot, filled with wooden characters (helpfully named things like 'Kali' and 'Arcangelo' so you can tell the good guys from the bad guys), and awful mystical science which explains how some animals are intrinsically evil.Yuck. Go read the 'Wrinkle in Time' trilogy instead.
