His Dark Materials

Have just finished 'The Amber Spyglass'. My friend C lent me all three of the trilogy. I enjoyed them, the plot was intricate and original and I liked Lyra and more especially Will and loathed and feared Mrs Coulter. Was slightly disappointed with how she ended though. But I didn't really get emotionally involved with it/them. Not even as much as I did with Jacob and Ferris in 'As meat loves salt'. Certainly nowhere near how I feel about Harry. C said that she was close to tears at one point in TAS but I certainly wasn't and I can't even really imagine where it might have been. I'm a terrible wimp - I cried at Forrest Gump and I can't watch Dumbo but I was pretty much unmoved by TAS.

I'd recommend them, enjoyed them but don't love them I think and have no great desire to reread.
