Book Reviews of The Amber Spyglass (His Dark Materials, Book 3)
Book Review: The tearful beauty of this book sparkles.
Summary: 5 Stars
... The first two books in the triolgy, The Golden Compass (or The Northern Lights) and The Subtle Knife, were pure masterpieces of literature. To surpass their levels again would be a miracle, but I believe in miracles. To be brief, The Amber Spyglass is the best piece of writing that I am personally aware of. No part in the book could be created more beautifully; the pages flowed naturally. As for the story line, Pullman forces you to recall back to the two books prior to this, so do not read this until you have. Will is left to find Lyra with the help of two unknown strangers. Lyra is, well, I can't tell you. I'm not the type to spoil. But do keep this in mind, cameos are not uncommon. Lord Asriel keeps to his task, while Lyra's mother is out there somewhere. You also wonder what Dr. Mary Malone has to do with any of this. What I found quite shocking was that the spyglass had little importance. Of course, its significance is great, but the golden compass and the knife have more substance. The ending of the story is perfect. There are some things I'd like to change, but the way Pullman wrote it convinces you otherwise. I recommend this book to anyone, but I have execptions. Do not buy this book if you're not open minded. This is fiction, remember that...you'll not be disappointed. Mr. Pullman, if you read this, I couldn't be prouder for you.
