Beautiful Edition
Rating: 5/5 (3 out of 3 think this is helpful) 2007-11-23
For A trilogy that has followed me through the past 11 years of my life, I couldn't be happier with the quality of this edition. It's beautiful cover and quality thick paper do complete justice to the magical content it contains.
A powerful blend of science and magic
Rating: 5/5 (1 out of 1 think this is helpful) 2006-04-23
This is one of the most powerful fantasy stories since Lord of the Rings. Blending science and magic, myth and even theology into a complex and thrilling adventure story that takes the reader on a journey through worlds that are both strange and familiar. Lyra and Will are two endearing heroes and Lyra's daemon is a wonderful creature, not a pet, but part of her soul. This is imaginative fiction at its very best, with rich characters, exciting conflicts and a story building towards a grand and thought-provoking climax. Heartily recommended to anybody who likes to become absorbed in their reading. Like Harry Potter, Mortal Engines or Hecate's Child, you might not notice time passing as you read it!
A good read
Rating: 4/5 (1 out of 6 think this is helpful) 2005-11-11
I found this triolgy to be very good, well written, and good characters. But at times, the story was long drawn out, pullman tried to gain suspense through complex details, but by the time he finishes a scene, its been stretched to the point that all the action leaks out. Overall, a very good book, but not excellent.
