A review by warrenl
The Amber Spyglass by Philip Pullman
3.0
For the most part I did enjoy The Amber Spyglass, but when looking at it a little more critically I find that it delivered so little of what it promised. I see no need to go over ground that other reviews have already covered a thousand times. Suffice it to say that the book died for me about here:
"The Regent was a being whose profound intellect had had thousands of years to deepen and strengthen itself, and whose knowledge extended over a million universes. Nevertheless, at that moment he was blinded by his twin obsessions: to destroy Lyra and to possess her mother."
