The Ruby in the Smoke (Sally Lockhart, Bk 1)
reviewed on + 175 more book reviews


Initially read Pullman's His Dark Materials series, soon to be a major motion picture, and was hooked on this man's writing style. TRITS is not my type of book, but Pullman did it again, making it hard to put down and hit the hay. Recommended reading if you are looking for a quick fun exciting read. This is highly recommended for youngsters, pre-teen - college. After this book you will be ready for the next two. Go on and read the HDM series too. You will be amazed! If you are college level or higher, suggest you also check out the philosophical books on Pullman's writing. Some of it's heady, but it fullfills your need for more of him.
