Spyglass: An Autobiography

Helene Deschamps

Henry Holt & Co., 1995

The Reality of Being A Spy
First of all, I must say I know the author personally. I know this story to be true. In these days of "reality TV' and other forms of wonderfully exciting, made for TV, pseudo reality, it's refreshing to read something the has the clear ring of genuine truth. If you ...

Rough Guides

Rough Guides, 2007

Opened up my world.
After having read the trilogy and thinking about it a long time, I was curious about this book. To be totally subjective, I loved the format and printing of the book. Then, it also made me think even more about the trilogy. I welcomed the illumination of such a dense ...

good audio book

The Death of Dogma and the Birth of Joy
I just finished re-reading Phillip Pullman's astonishing trilogy for the third time. No, I'm not an eager 11-year-old desperate for a Potter substitute. I'm a thirty-two year old English teacher happily immersed in the modern day renaissance that is children's ...

The Amber Spyglass, Deluxe 10th Anniversary Edition (His Dark Materials, Book 3)

Philip Pullman

Knopf Books for Young Readers, 2007

Magnificent in all it's Gnostic splendour.
I thoroughly enjoyed the whole trilogy of "His Dark Materials" . Not only are the books a cracking good read from an entertainment point of view, but Pullman bravely presents a theory of religion that is wonderfully refreshing and honest. Yes, it does appear that ...
