I think there was a plot in here somewhere, but it died around halfway through this book. Urgh.

This was a huggable book for me. You know the ones... You REALLY don't want to go to bed, but you have to. You're not ready to leave the story, so you hug it to your chest while you sleep, not unlike a cuddly toy. And maybe, just maybe, you might absorb some of the story through the pages.No? Just m...

View my full review here. If I could, I'd give it a 3.5.The characters which flourish the most in this book are Lyra and Will. Each mature so much thanks to what they experience and it shows in their choices near the end of the novel in their decision to be selfless. Of course, the development of t...

After many years I've finally gotten around to finishing this trilogy! I first read Northern Lights when it came out, I must have been about 11 or 12. I remember struggling through it because it was a little above my reading level - although I was fiercely proud of my reading abilities and wouldn't ...

Better than the first one, but not as good as the second one.

This series was spectacular. I thought it was gonna be a light hearted read but I was sucked into so many different worlds,with so many different beliefs that I was drawn into this universe I literally couldn't do anything else but follow where this story took me. I found myself sitting in bathroom ...

For the full review, please visit Thoughts and PensYay. After days of poring over this series, I think the book fairy has finally let my soul found some peace. And what’s more beautiful is that, I can truly announce that this book is one of the most memorable must-read series for 2013. Yes, bookish...
