Stunning (  )BookMarkMe | Jun 8, 2009 | These books definitely have some SLOW points but as a whole they are very very good. It didn't seem entirely necessary for the series to end the way it did. It seemed a bit forced. Very subversive, that's a good thing! (  )WNW3 | Jun 4, 2009 | Made famous by the new movie adaptation of The Golden Compass these are the story of Lyra; a girl who has grown up in a London university; getting her education in bits and pieces from renowned professors. When Lyra�s uncle goes missing; she sets out on a journey into the arctic to find him and bring him home while trying to solve a large number of kidnapping cases. Fantasy and history collide in this interesting and controversial series.In my opinion; this book isn't worth the time it took to print it. But many others disagree. They tell me it gets better later in the series but I can't get through these books! (  )kpickett | Jun 2, 2009 | really nice books, not a great work of literature but a fun light read. Characters are enjoyable as are the places. The story is imaginative and original, something everyone should read.

Amazon.com (ISBN 0440238609, Paperback)In the epic trilogy His Dark Materials, Philip Pullman unlocks the door to worlds parallel to our own. Dæmons and winged creatures live side by side with humans, and a mysterious entity called Dust just might have the power to unite the universes--if it isn't destroyed first. The three books in Pullman's heroic fantasy series, published as mass-market paperbacks with new covers, are united here in one boxed set that includes The Golden Compass, The Subtle Knife, and The Amber Spyglass. Join Lyra, Pantalaimon, Will, and the rest as they embark on the most breathtaking, heartbreaking adventure of their lives. The fate of the universe is in their hands. (Ages 13 and older)(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:10 -0400) The first test round has been closed. Visit the Open Shelves Classification group for details. |
