A review by lemonsmith
The Subtle Knife by Philip Pullman

5.0

“Every little increase in human freedom has been fought over ferociously between those who want us to know more and be wiser and stronger, and those who want us to obey and be humble and submit.”

Absolutely brilliant!

I did not expect the book to go this way even after watching the series.

Philip Pullman has written a pure gem.

The lines, so poetic, sequences that move freely, yet tightly bound intentionally, one after the other with transitions and actions unexpected.

Beautiful stuff.
