Book Review of The Subtle Knife (His Dark Materials, Bk 2) (Audio CD) (Unabridged)

The Subtle Knife (His Dark Materials, Bk 2) (Audio CD) (Unabridged)
reviewed on


This CD contains multiple voice actors/actresses. I thought most of them were pretty good.

I did not care for the book itself. While I realize that good characters should change as time passes, just like people, I was bothered by the changes in Lyra. She just didn't seem like herself. Will, the main character for this book, didn't interest me all that much either. In fact, I can't say I cared or was even interested in ANY of the characters.

I continued reading this book, thinking it might get more interesting. The plot points were not compelling to me.

I realize this is a middle book, so it may get how this all fits together until the last book, but I'm not all that compelled to finish the series.
