His Dark Materials - Philip Pullman.
Just finished reading The Subtle Knife, part 2 of the trilogy.
What can I say? The first part, Northern Lights was quite easily one of the best books I've ever read. The Subtle Knife wasn't as good, but still utterly compelling and has me lusting for more. I've just got The Amber Spyglass to read now, which seems a much larger book than the first 2. Anyone else been reading this remarkable tale? |

Read it when it first came out and adored it. I'd like a chance to sit down and reread the whole thing in one go.
You'll love the third book; it has a really great ending. ![]() |

Those are some of the best written novels I have ever read. Any book that can make you love and hate characters like these do has my vote. My younger brother lent them to me after an uncle (a pastor, oddly enough, given the use of religion in these books) said they were his favorite books ever. Did you see that they are making a movie trilogy?

First of all, they're getting the guy who directed American Pie to direct it. Secondly, because I remember reading something about all references to god being written out... I don't think it'll even be the same thing at all. ![]() |

i read one of these, and i listened to all of them on tape. i forgot about them though, the subject matter has so much to it for kids like a metaphysical comic book plot written by roald dahl, if you liked it you should revisit the audiobook which I remember being really well done with actors and stuff...no harry potter though where one guy broke the guinness record for number of character voices on a recording somewhere in the hundreds. haha i thought that was interesting too. i used to listen to books on tape a lot when i needed to detox myself from the news. sometimes the news can render one in a catatonic like state which is most dangerous for the light of heart.
btw, i can't believe people ban pullman's books perfectly suitable for kids- and it makes them cooler that they do anyways to kids when you put it that way. makes it more enticing they took our jyawbs ![]() |
