Book Reviews of His Dark Materials Omnibus (The Golden Compass; The Subtle Knife; The Amber Spyglass)

Book Review: A stunning set of works
Summary: 5 Stars

I enjoyed every moment of these books. Northern Lights was to my mind an extremely strong start, and to continue the quality and depth in the second and third books in a way that grips from beggining to end is a feat rarely achieved so well by authors. The imagination and intelligence employed throughout the story dazzled, and the theological implications of the plot left me reeling.

I would heartily reccomend these books to anyone from ten to a hundred years old. The depth of the characterisation and the intelligence with which the story is written extends far beyond what the Harry Potter phenomenon has achieved, and this eclectic mix of fantasy, religion, science fiction and adventure, with it's subtle humour lurking always, truly deserves a place in the minds of all readers as one of the greatest pieces of literature ever written.

If you haven't read them yet, buy the set. It'll save you making three seperate orders. And I have no doubt you'll want to finish the trilogy after reading the first chapter of Northern Lights.

I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.
