Customer Reviews

Another Pullman in Another Oxford but Really Worth Reading
Fans of Pullman's trilogy should receive a fair warning before moving any further. This is not Lyra's Oxford, this is our Oxford so expect thugs, sex, crime but also love, trust and friendship.
Pullman retells the story of Romeo and Juliet with extreme adroitness. He manages to keep the lyrical beauty and truth of the play and avoids desperate attempts of retaining any elements that would seem dated and out of place in a modern novel.
This is a novel for younger adults but if you feel that your 13+ year olds have never heard about sex, you may need to read it first yourself. The danger is you may get hooked on Pullman seriously.

UTERLY FANTASTIC MOVING BOOK
This is one of the best books i have EVER read for ages! i have never read these kind of books that are love story and very affectionate and emotional,but it really woke something inside me, but the ending was just heart breking! it was like this book was made for me, i love this book, it was perfect, and i just wished it had a happy ending......and i wished the story went on.....
thx pullman, this book was FANTASTIC.

Disappointing ...
Both "The Butterfly Tattoo" and "The Broken Bridge" are decidedly avarage books, which is pretty much all there is to say abou them. Coming from Philip Pullman they are utterly disappointing. I loved both the "His Dark Materials" trilogy and the Sally Lockhart books, but fiction seems to be Philip Pullman's (only?) weak point.
