Book Reviews of His Dark Materials Trilogy (The Golden Compass; The Subtle Knife; The Amber Spyglass)
Book Review: "His Dark Materials"
Summary: 5 Stars
This trilogy of books is by far one of the most emotionally riveting that I have ever read. The character development in the first book, and throughout the series, captivates the reader, and the books become for than just a story. Pullman creates an array of fantastic worlds dabbing the extraordinary in a rather realistic world. His settings and descriptions make these places easier to picture, with an added awe. The suspense that the author employs through the use of foreshadowing and a general foreboding tone makes it impossible for the reader to push out of their head the inevitable unhappy ending. However, after getting well into the third book, one seems to forget about Lyra's ultimate decision. But after reading the last few pages, a sense of such wrongdoing, injustice, and anger is the only way to describe the emotional reaction. The fact that even the toughest shelled readers are brought into such an emotional outrage and eventual sorrow, is proof of how good the books are.
