A review by roseleaf24
His Dark Materials Omnibus by Philip Pullman

3.0

I had read The Golden Compass years ago, but just want interested enough to continue with the series. I received this book of all three, and was determined to try again. Again, I read The Golden Compass, and enjoyed it well enough, but I just don't care enough to put the energy in to figuring out what's going on now that I'm halfway through The Subtle Knife. Pullman has spoken about making this series anti- Church, which comes through clearly. Unfortunately, he doesn't balance that by making women or minority groups anything more than stereotypes, which I found disappointing.
