A review by becca_osborn
The Amber Spyglass by Philip Pullman
4.0
The drama about this series being anti-Christian is quite overdone.
I enjoyed them a lot, and I really liked the ending--they are not what I expected at all, and I'm not sure what to think. I think that there were some bits of weak writing in this book, but Pullman's imagination and grasp of the way things are and the way people think is incredible.
I'm still processing with this book, but I think that Pullman is definitely onto something when it comes to the way he seems to view religion (which may not reflect his true feelings, but still.). I think that many of his words would actually be helpful to Christians.
I saw the parallels in this 'rebuttal' of Narnia, and while they're definitely there, I think that it's overall weak. Fantastic story, but the "rebuttal" aspect was a small part to the whole of his agenda.
Great series; highly recommended!
