What the Experts Have to Say
Juliar Eccleshare, The Guardian, October 2000:
"If anything, The Amber Spyglass, is more intense than its predecessors. The climaxes are bigger; there is fresh fire in the writing; and there is a wonderful new cast of characters." "(His Dark Materials)... an exhilarating and poetic mixture of adventure, philosophy, myth and religion enriched by a heady brew of quantum physics."
Children's Book Council, May 2001:
"Philip Pullman deftly brings the cliff-hangers and mysteries of His Dark Materials to an earthshattering conclusion--and confirms his fantasy trilogy as an undoubted and enduring classic."
Matt Berman, Nueva, July 2002:
"It´s (..) a feverishly exciting adventure. It also completes the finest and most original fantasy series since The Lord of the Rings"
The Cincinnati Enquirer:
"Pullman has created the last great fantasy masterpiece of the twentieth century. An astounding achievement."
Detroit Free Press:
"A brilliantly written adventure story... Superbly crafted and breathtaking in scope."
Newsweek:
"Pullman is quite possibly a genius... using the lineaments of fantasy to tell the truth about the universal experience of growing up."
The New York Times:
"A thrillingly ambitious tale inspired by Milton's Paradise Lost."
The Horn Book Magazine, Starred:
"The book rollicks and careers with narrative gale force... A massive symphonic accomplishment."
Kirkus Reviews, Starred:
"The longed-for third volume in this trilogy satisfies deeply: full of grand set pieces, resplendent language, and glorious storytelling... Readers will be chastened-- and warmed-- and sorry to see the last page."
