| interesting story with a full cast of voices. Pullman takes a long time to finish up the narrative, but it's probably necessary. no bad music in this volume, but the poetry at the beginning of each chapter is hard to get when read quickly out loud. it adds nothing to this audio version. that part would make more sense in print. |

| this is a wonderfully read edition of the book. a full cast makes the story come to life. in between there are terrible musical interludes, though. |

|
| My interest in the His Dark Materials series stemmed from watching the movie adaptation of the first book, The Golden Compass. And while I was biased because I saw the movie before reading the book, the book turned out to be far better than the movie ever was.
Pullman creates a fantasy world that instantly engages the reader, and keeps them wondering, What will happen (and what CAN happen) in a world like this? The story follows a young girl as she embarks on the adventure of a lifetime through a world full of unique creatures, ... Read More: |

| 7.The Ruby in the Smoke (Sally Lockhart Trilogy, Book 1) by: Philip Pullman November 12, 1988 |

|
| In The Ruby in the Smoke, Phillip Pullman combines three of my favorite things: young adult fiction, a good mystery and a Victorian era setting.
Sixteen-year-old Sally Lockhart has recently lost her father in a shipwreck. After receiving a mysterious note warning her to "beware of the Seven Blessings", she visits her late father's shipping firm in the hope that someone there can make sense of the note. When she asks one of her father's employees about the Seven Blessings, the man is so terrified that he dies of a heart attack right in front of ... Read More: |

| This is an excellent edition of "Paradise Lost" to own. The binding and dustjacket are nice, a red ribbon bookmark makes reading it handy, there are gorgeous illustrations before each chapter, as well as introductions by Philip Pullman before each chapter. To understand Pullman's "His Dark Materials" trilogy, it is essential to understand "Paradise Lost." Of course, Pullman has his own unique views on Milton's masterpiece, and not everyone will agree with them, but they are interesting to read in any case. Anyway, this is an essential read for anyone who wants ... Read More: |

| I'll save a review of the book for others, but suffice it to say that I really liked it. As a narrator, Anton Lesser is superb. I've listened to a lot of audiobooks, and he is one of the best.
However... it was when I was referencing my place in the story in a paper copy that I noticed that a paragraph in a certain physical scene between two characters has been entirely omitted. Later, when the male is asking the female whether their encounter was painful, the dialogue has been altered. I don't know if the audiobook producers are responsible, or if ... Read More: |

| 10.The Tiger in the Well (Sally Lockhart Trilogy, Book 3) by: Philip Pullman February 18, 1992 |

|
| "Tiger in the Well" has been perhaps my favorite book thus far of the Sally Lockhart series. One of the best aspects of this series is that Sally continues to grow and change. In fact, the majority of characters, even minor ones, get a chance to develop as the story progresses. An interesting aspect of this book is Sally's reaction to the spreading of socialist ideas in England. This is where Pullman's politics start to come into play. His personal politics have a strong, identifiable influence in the His Dark Materials trilogy, so it's not terribly surprising ... Read More: |
