Book Review of The Amber Spyglass (His Dark Materials, Bk 3)

The Amber Spyglass (His Dark Materials, Bk 3)
KitchenWitch avatar reviewed Great Read!! Must read the first two books!! on + 14 more book reviews


This book is not for the faint of heart. It actually had me tempted to flip ahead to make sure...you know so and so were going to make it past the well...read the story!

It is thoroughly engrossing, and will keep you turning the pages. But it is Dark, just as the title describes, but it is of course being the climax to the series the darkest by far.

Lyra and Wills adventures take them on journeys that will break your heart right along with the childrens. It again is brilliant writing and you feel, hear and see everything. It is J.K. Rowling's magic meets Stephen King gripping scares, in a child's (preteen/teenager's) story. Yes, it will ruffle a few Christian feathers but the entire story is wonderful!! You could even say it might make some people think.
