Good Points: Everything was good, every small detail.
Bad Points: Bad points! Are you mad, I would never say any bad points toward these books. Never not in 1000 years. They were beautiful books.
General comments: Philip Pullman, His Dark Materials: It took me so long to actually get into these books, I think I must have read the 1st page of Northern Lights about 100 times. But when I finally got into it, there was no going back. I am now a dedicaded fan of Philip Pullman, and have made it my mission to read all his books.
I thought the whole book was absolutely brillient. I've never read anything like it in my whole life.
The Amber Spyglass, more than the other two, has made me think about everything, about all the possibilities of what is really in the world. The trilogy had really opened my mind to everything around me and has enlightened me. It had make me think about the possibilities of maybe that what Philip Pullman says is almost true, and that he is running on fact, not fiction.
The ending was so moving, I've never cried at a book before, but the Amber Spyglass did have its moments, like when she had to leave Pan at the crossing the land of the dead, and when Will had to leave. It was so moving.
It says be specific, I can't, its just the whole trilogy blew my mind away, its the best book ever to be written. I will read them over and over again.

His Dark Materials is written mainly from the childrens (lyra and wills) point of view. The main character, Lyra, is a very charasmatic, feisty girl. The story tells of Lyras fated future of which she is completely unaware. Along the way she meets some amazing people and creatures all of which are drawn to her and her cause. Overall these books are wonderfully written and suitable for adults as well as children. Highly reccommended!

Philip Pullman's Dark Materials are by far the greatest books I have ever read. As intellectually thrilling as they are beautifully written. The originality astounds me and the bravery of the plot is incredibele.
I despise the end of The Amber Spyglass it's rare that anything, book, film or anything else could make me cry but this did. Though to me it could be the only ending that there could be.
Anybody with any brains at all will read these books and love them!
