the amber spyglass

The Amber Spyglass

ah yeah.

at least i’ve finished reading this book which i bought it in year… er, 2007? haha i don’t know why it took me so long to finish this book when i could finish another 2 books from its series in a blink? maybe i don’t like the storyline of this last book.

i’d say that the best is still the 1st book which is golden compass followed by subtle knife. this 3rd book is a bit boring with too much of the deaths stories and maybe, less of iorek? ops! sorry. you’d understand this if you read the book.

overall, these 3 books are good. you should get them all and let me know your opinion. alright? :)

 

note: don’t you think golden compass and subtle knife are way too good compared to boring spyglass? sigh.

    i think all three books are beautifully written - especially this one since it made me cry throughout the last several chapters. i cried when i read book one and two, too. but this third book just hit the right spot.

    i don't think it's boring and i don't think it can even be compared with the first two since all three although they are connected, are different in their personalities and slightly different in the genre as well. book one was almost completely magical and book two was all religions and god while book three is almost completely political while all three are rather academic here and there. so comparing book one and three is like comparing jk rowling to christina dodd. it just doesn't work.

    i like book three very much. it's the closest humanity which not many writers ever get at, even those writing non-fantasy.

    it's like reading through the end of Ptolemy's Gate, the realistic feel of our beings' fragility. we don't get that from every book.

  2. nani - oh nani. at last got someone commented on this topic. haha. i didn't expect someone would leave even a single comment. unlike other topics, i got comment in a blink =p

    well, maybe i'm too much in love with magic until i expect this book three more magic than book 1 & 2.

    for me, book 1 is the best followed by 2 and 3. i guess same goes to eragon? i don't know. i haven't read the book yet. right now i'm reading a thousand splendid suns which is a different genre too compared to magical stuff haha. this book is more into real living creature compared to my favorite imagination. i don't know as 2 friends gave me the same book on my birthday. i bet it's a good book then =p (psst, how i wish i can get 1 kite runner instead of 2 book of this one).

    so, what book you read currently nani?

  3. at least...you've managed to finish the book even though it took you literally 3 years. I have many books that I read halfway and still have not finished ever since...at least I got one for the past 15 years...

  4. Wow...it took you 3 years to complete the whole book? Ha :D I thing it is because you have to many books to read already. That's why!
