His Dark Materials is an absorbing, suspenseful, and well-paced trilogy that will take you on an emotional roller coast ride--fabulous! I've given The Amber Spyglass a "3" not because it fails to excite and engage, but rather because I feel it to be the weakest story in this amazing trilogy. Pullman's enthusiasm for provocation reaches its apex here: be warned, those of conservative mores.
The frenetic pace and exorbitant body count was slightly off-putting, and I admit to having needed a full week to recover from the emotional drain inflicted by Mr. Pullman's steady yank on the heart strings, but I wouldn't have traded my journey through Lyra's world for anything.
This trilogy is certain to become classic children's literature!

I believe this is the book that has inspired me the most. You may or may not like Lord of the Ring, and you may or may not like Harry Potter at a certain point, but i don't think it is even possible not to like mister Pullman's work. It is very hard to say which book is the most amazing in the Trilogy, if it was up to me, I would choose the three of them, but this one is certainly amazing. I respect this work very much, and I (beeing an aspiring "Movie maker") believe that, this would be the movie of the century. Well, if you haven't yet, read the books, they are simply THE BEST.

This is an amazing book that takes you into worlds you can only dream about! It's the conclusion of His Dark Materials Trilogy by Philip Pullman. It has a great conclusion too! I recommend this book to anyone who knows how to read, because without it, you will miss all of the good stuff!

I think this book is the best of the trilogy. I has the same interesting characters and other introductions and they take you to all kinds of different places. I also enjoy the theological side of the book. Definately a 10 out of 10.

This truely is a piece of master-class! The only negative point that I have to say is that it leaves the reader a bit confused as the story produces ambiguity. This is my only negative point as his plots stir the imagination and his "Dark Materials" trilogy is a joy to read. I recommend it to everyone!
Stranger than fiction, blending tragedy and farce, How to Create the Perfect Wife is an engrossing tale of the radicalism, and deep contradictions, at the heart of the Enlightenment.
