I am loving this series. Book 2, 'The Subtle Knife' follows Lyra and her new friend, Will, as they attempt to move between worlds, find lost loved ones, discover the meaning of 'dust' and escape from the clutches of evil. Prepare for a lot of action and adventure. 'The Subtle knife' is just as enjoy...

I have no words. I love this book. I need to reread it. It pissed me off (made me sad, that is) especially with the whole Will's father. Ah, grr, goddamn, that part pissed me off.

Capturing your attention from the first page “The subtle Knife” is destined to become a classic. The second installment in Philip Pullman's trilogy "His Dark Materials" does not disappoint introducing new characters and showing growth in older ones.

While running away he finds a window into ano...

I'll try to keep them to a minimum though. :) I'm not really sure how to talk ab...

Later...It is so surprising to me that the thing I found vastly irritating right at page one of the first of this series - the daemon - so quickly captivated me. You have this daemon in you, all of us, just as the story goes. And as a child it is anything, it has the fantastical vision that children...

I flew through this book even though in one critical way it disappointed me greatly; Lyra didn't seem as confident in herself nor as bold in this chapter of the trilogy."The Subtle Knife" takes place on three worlds; the first is the same as that which dominated the first book. The second is the Ea...
