The Subtle Knife (His Dark Materials)

will and lyra, will and lyra, WILL AND LYRAAAA :DDD

just as (if not more) awful than the first book in the trilogy....

I liked it. There's nothing like it, even still. Pullman not only introduces things to the reader that doesn't exist but helps the reader to imagine the things he's invented such as the using of the knife or the compass. He comes up with whole new worlds and manages to make everything make sense. I liked the first book better but this was still good.

best book of the trilogy, showing a gift for characterization missing in the other books. the ideas are big, but not so big that the author fails to capture them.

A little slower than The Golden Compass, and you'll want to yell at Will and Lyra quite a bit more, but a very good read. I highly recommend it!

Loved reading the trilogy.. wanted to read them slow so that I could keep going back to that world.

I enjoyed this book, although not as much as the Golden Compass. There are multiple plot twists (some of which are easily predicted) and new characters, both good and bad. This book tends to focus more on Will then Lyra, but I thought that was for the better. Can't wait to finish the series.

I really liked the Golden Compass. I just didn't like the characters as much in this one.

Great book!
