Nicole Z. (majorphilosopher) reviewed on 8/15/2010 + 20 more book reviews

This book is extremely well-written, wildly imaginative and full of wonderful imagery. The imagery in this whole series makes me think "wow!" as well as long to see the action with my own eyes.

I've read people saying these books are "god-hating" and with that I disagree. These books are fantasy and a spin on familiar ideas. Pullman doesn't seem to hate God; if anything, he hates oppression from the church, which, in his books, is wrong because it doesn't coincide with what God really is and what really happens when you die, etc.
