His Dark Materials
« Thread Started on Dec 3, 2008, 6:12pm »

His Dark Materials, written by Philip Pullman, is a fantastic trilogy, featuring three books: The Golden Compass, The Subtle Knife, and The Amber Spyglass. It is by far my favorite piece of fantasy literature I have ever read. Oh, and if you have seen the movie The Golden Compass, please do not judge the books based on the quality of the film. The movie left out a lot of parts of the book, and seemed to be rushed. Anyway, I'll give you my summary of the trilogy.

His Dark Materials is a a story existing between multiple universes. However, the first book takes place in a world similar to ours, except that people's souls live outside of their body, taking the form of an animal. There are a few other differences between our world and theirs, such as technology advancing in a bit of a different way. The people use zeppelins to travel, and automobiles have hardly been invented.

Anyway, the story centers around a young girl named Lyra, who is given a magical device that she can read the truth from. Anyway, certain events draw her into the mysterious, and wild North. She gathers several companions, such as Iorek, the armored bear, Lee Scorsby, the Texan Aeronaut, and Serafina Pekkela, the Witch Queen. The Northern Lights also play a bit of significance in the story. The Golden Compass, as well as the trilogy, centers around a mysterious particle, called Dust.

The second book, The Subtle Knife, brings a new main character, William Parry, a young boy from our world. He lived with his mother, who was in a fragile mental state. But, after certain events, needs to flee from his home, and after a bit, he meets up with Lyra. I will not write anything about the third book, because I just began rereading it, and it has been awhile since I read it.

I strongly recommend this trilogy to anyone and everyone. The book seems to be written for young adults, but there are several themes, and symbolism, that older audiences can enjoy as well.

Read it. Now.
