Well since this is the book club, shouldn't it have something to do with books in it?

I just finished the "His Dark Materials" series. For anyone who's read them... the series made me cry a total of three times. Once in the second book and twice in the third. I don't want to give anything away so I'll be pretty vague... but for anyone who's read the last one, we finished reading it about 2 hours before Fraser was about to leave. It was definitely not a good way to start being apart from the one you love.
All in all, though, I adore that trilogy. It's kind of creepy how reading it makes you question your entire faith. |

I really liked those books. Excellent plot, universe, characters, and general quality of writing. I think the trilogy is Phillip Pullman's crowning acheivement. EDIT: Oops, better not spoil the plot for those who haven't finished the series. Spoiler: Kinda sad how Will and Lyra get separated indefinately at the end. And I miss the balloonist guy. He was cool. The American film wasn't great, though. Spoiled my outlook on the series. I met the actress who played the little girl, for about five minutes. Something to do with her mother coming for my mother's classes, or something. I agree with Lindstrom, in general. They just don't produce books like they used to. Which is why I plan to change this at some point in my life, heh heh. A publisher looked at some of my previous work and said it was possible, y'know. It's been done. I know this other kid who got a book published at 12 (I won't shame him by saying how good it was, because that's another story (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalasad.gif) ) |
