Oh, my heart. I loved these books, even though the end tears my heart out. Phillip Pullman killed the game of the hero’s journey, and into it he wove elements of religion and spirituality and anthropology and physics in such a way that the reader has to question at least one or two things about life in general. The feminist in me also has zero quarrels with these books, which is huge. Re-reading them, i realized how much these books influenced my growing up and my adult view of the world. Thanks Phillip Pullman. You’re and OG.

Loved It!!!. It is one of the best books that I have read!

Excellent Conclusion. This final installment to the trilogy is an absolute triumph. It's fast paced, poetic, and broad scoped. The ending is sad, but up lifting. What great characters in this trilogy. I'm sad to be leaving them.

The amber spyglass is fabulous. I just reread the second book in the series the subtle knife and it was one of the best books I've ever read. I will now reread the final book because like the first two it's unbelievable. I'm so sad that they did not film the last two books. So I just have to "see" these books in my own mind instead of on screen.

Woooww. My god!!! This book is so sad but a very good conclusion to the dark materials trilogy and it is in my top 10 books right up there with Tolkien and, Stroud, and Rowling

A fabulous conception, well executed!. This is a wonderful read for audiences of all ages, with creative breadth and surprising depth. In this amazing trilogy, Philip Pullman has the audacity to address some of the fundamental assumptions that Western culture has held over the past centuries in an imaginative, engaging way. The main characters are fascinating, and they collectively embody the key virtues that we look for in our heroes: bravery, loyalty, self-doubt, compassion and fortitude. It transports you to new worlds and hits you right at home, in your heart. I enjoyed every page of the three book series. Give "the Golden Compass" a try, and see if you aren't drawn in. You will not regret it!

Incomplete Chapters. Had the chapters been complete this review would have been higher. Leaves too much to the imagination as far as what Lyra is saying at the conclusion of each chapter.

I liked it.. I enjoyed the plot and pacing. The character growth and interactions were nice. I particularly enjoyed Dr. Malone and the mulefa.

Wonderful. Wonderful

Outstanding!. It is without a doubt one of the best books I have ever read, I love the characters and the fantastic world the author creates.

Best Book. This is the best book I have ever read! I would give this book 1,000 stars!

Enjoyable read, philosophy not so much. “The Amber Sypglass” is an enjoyable read that barrels along, introducing inventive and engaging characters and story lines, that builds tremendously on the two preceding books. Yet, the book is much more involved, to its detriment, in the whole philosophy of Dust and all the related story elements. I wouldn’t call the book anti-religious, as some have, since it relies heavily on Christian icongraphy and legends in positive and negative ways. What it does do is use a simulacrum of the Catholic Church as the stand in for evil in the battle against good, not the most inventive trope out there. That, however, pales compared to the whole manifest destiny, pre-determination outcome of the two leads, Lyra and Will, which is more heavy handed in “The Amber Spyglass” than the two other books. The books never engender a doubt as to any other outcome than what is delivered. With all that, on the whole “His Dark Material” trilogy, while commendable, never really rises, IMO, to the level of works by JRR Tolkein, Terry Brooks, Stephen R Donaldson, CS Lewis and others.

Best book ever. This is a really good book and I encourage you to make another one:)
