Wow. This book has left me truly and utterly speechless.
I have read too many novels in my 13 about the horrifiying
experience of breaking up with your boyfrind. Quite honestly, I
think that someone ought to think up some new ideas for books; the
losing the boyfriend idea is becoming quite tedious.
And yet, here I find an oasis in the middle of a desolate place
full of mindless, boyfriendless, teenaged girls. 'The Amber
Spyglass' is one of the best books i have ever read. And i have
read more books than I can count. So this book, being the one of
the few other than Harry Potter, immediately caught my attention.
And it kept until I had finished the entire triliogy. It only took
me three and a half days.
This is not to say that I don't like romance. The romantic moments
between Will and Lyra are some of my favourite parts - Philip
Pullman had thought that bit out wonderfully. The only part that I
didn't enjoy, was the end. He left so many questions unanswered:
did Will and Lyra ever get married? Did they ever find each other?
What did they do for a living?
Those are the only questions Philip pullman had left unanswered,
and they have plauged me since I finished the book. I wanted so for
the two of them to stay together.
And yet, it is the unanswered questions that keeps the public
wanting to read Philip Pullman's works. I don't like those
questions but without them, there would be no need for the human
imagination. Something a book doesn't always leave room for.
In short, I advise you - yes you, the one reading my review - to
buy this book, or at the very least, read it. I can promise you
that you will love it and that you won't put it down until you have
finished the last sentence of the last book.
Happy reading! :)
