The Amber Spyglass is the one of the best books, for all ages ever written. Whether you are 10 or 50, this book keeps you sucked into it's magical world of other dimensions and angels. Going through many universes over-layed on top of each other, including the land of the dead, this finale is spectacular.
In this book, romance has bloomed, Will and Lyra finally see that they are in love with each other. At the end, I cried. They still talked to 'each other' in their park, but they will never ever see each other again.
My favourite character has been, and always will be Lyra. I loved how she was determined. But nearing the end I felt a bit cut off from the characters but that is because the author probably wanted their thoughts to be secret when they admitted they were in love.
I also loved their daemons. I always knew Pan would settle on something ferrety like, he just seemed to have that kind of personality. I didn't expect Will's daemon would be a cat. Well sometimes you never now what could happen. In the book, when Will and Lyra's daemons went off to play and hid from them. I knew something was up.
Other than this horribly sad part, this book is brilliant (okay even the sad ending is perfectly written). I definitely recommend it to anyone who loves books!

The Amber Spyglass has to be one of the best sequels ever written. Lyra and Will are still in search for their ultimate goal, and you still love them. Pullman intertwines the two into more worlds, with more people, and so many adventures that you think the book would last forever.
In this stunning sequel, this series comes to an end that no one expects. You travel to more worlds than you can dream of, and even into the land of the dead. Romance is abound, as well as Angels, The Authority, and the sacrifices of a lifetime.
This is a series that you have to read, and this is a sequel that you will definitely love.

A stunning finale of an amazing trilogy! This book introduces another character who comes into possession of an amber spyglass which allows her to see "dust." This book tackles issues of the afterlife, God, and the human existence in general. It is quite controversial with its views on christianity. Previous questions unanswered in the previous two books are concluded here. The conclusion left me in tears and awe at the journey of Lyra and Will (and others).

The final book in the His dark material books was amazing. It start off with Lyra back with her mother who kidnapped. The adventures start soon after that. I have not read this book in a couple of years, but i still remeber the heartbreak of that ending. You have to (HAVE TO) read the other two to understand the horribleness of that ending. It was sad and painful. Yet the book had an overall hopeful meaning. It teaches the meaning off true love, and how we can all redeem ourselves no matter what horrible thing you did.
p.s Lyra rules the word!!!

Philip Pullman's The Amber Spyglass! A wonderful, exciting and breathtaking end to this powerful trilogy!
Now as I look back on the first two books I notice just how much the story has evolved and taken shape. Just when you think it can't get any better...WAM! He gives you another world! And just when you think you have a character figured out...BOOM! They go off and transform into a brave hero!
These books truly kept me spellbound. I devoured them and I am sure I will again very soon. I loved them deeply. Hope you enjoy them as well!!

(Read The Golden Compass first, then The Subtle Knife! After The Amber Spyglass you may want to read Lyra's Oxford! And soon to come out is a book called The Book of Dust!)

The Amber Spyglass is the conclusion to a great trilogy, the Dark Materials trilogy.
This focuses more on a female professor (can't remember her name right now), who meet up with Lyra and Will to defeat this sort of evil. Evil, being people who wish to use Dust for their self needs.
The trio end up going through so many adventures, such as visiting death, closing portals, and even witnessing a war with angels.
Note that this book is very philosphical and very anti-christianity. Still, it is a very well thought out story and people should read this if they enjoy Harr Potter and the likes!

Lyra has been kidnapped by her mother, Mrs. Coulter who is keeping Lyra in a sleep so she can not escape due to the prophecy that Lyra will play Eve. When Will saves her they are joined by some really small people who are trying to bring Will to Lyra's father so he can have Will on his side as well as the Knife in order to defeat Authority.
But WIll and Lyra pay no heed to his plea and then set out on a journey to free the people in the land of the dead.
This book ends the story really nicely and everyone will love it.

The last and final chapter in Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials Trilogy. This book manages to bring all the loose ends from the previews books into a magneficent resolution and not only stays in the mind of the reader as the story is being unfolded but the emotion remains for weeks to come.
Readers that enjoyed His Dark Materials Trilogy would also enjoy Lyra's Oxford, and the soon to be published The Book of Dust.
