Ok, so the Golden Compass was good. The Subtle Knife was pretty much pointless, and this book . . . well, let's just say that after all the hype these books got, I was very, very disappointed. The best part about these books is the Mulefa (A new species that Pullman introduces into the storyline). The male characters are arrogant, the female characters are deceptive, and without giving the ending of the book away I can safely summarize the moral of the story - if we are all "good and happy and wise and kind" and generally wonderful people, the world will be a better place to live. Well, no duh. Any four-year-old can tell you that.
