Wow was this trilogy AWESOME.  His Dark Materials has a special place in my heart right alongside Harry Potter.  I couldn’t put the third book down, and I greatly enjoyed the first two.  This is a fantasy trilogy, where Pullman creates a wonderful world with all sorts of mystery, adventure, and wildness.

His Dark Materials is a must read if you’re a fantasy fan and if you enjoy Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings.  I LOVE IT!!!!  Every few chapters I would throw the book down and run around skipping and clapping.  Holy shit.  I still think HP7 was the best thing that ever happened to me, but these books are WILD!  Just as I wish I was Harry Potter himself, I wish I was Will Parry running around with Lyra Silvertounge.  Who wouldn’t want to?  She’s hot.

Check out the box set here.
