What's it about?

I'm so bored too...

 

[Dreamerish*~]

it's fantasy
can't really explain it cos it's complicated...
go read it if you're bored

 

[magician]

Nah, already have to many novels to read!!! Fantasy eh, I might read it one day, when I get through all the other books I intend to read I just bought Raymond Feist's Magician to read.

 

[mervvyn]

It's worth reading - it's an interesting story blurring usual good/evil boundaries, exploring youth and adult relationships and a bit of sci-fantasy as well. I liked it anyway

 

[cuivienen]

Currently reading it...

 

[steph@nie]

there's so many threads on this book.

 

[steph@nie]

and by many, I mean two at most.

I just bought Raymond Feist's Magician to read.

Which is an excellent book. I enjoyed far more than 'Lord of the Rings' which was a waste of not only my time, but also the paper in which it was printed on.

The 'His Dark Materials' series is also a pleasurable experience, despite being somewhat cliché at times.

i think im gonna re-read this again after i read harry potter for the zillionth time.
my friend recommened me to this triology and its really good. the only thing is some bits are really obvious as its a childs book...

unexpected ending must say...

i saw in myer today 10 year edition, hardcover.

i loved that series. they were good easy books to read. i love fantasy.

Magician was good (especially the first part), but Silverthorn and A Darkness at Sethanon were just pulp. So was Serpentwar and Conclave of Shadows. The first two books in the Midkemia trilogy were also good, but the third one sucked, too.

The Wheel of Time is also good and hopefully once it's done I'll get my hands on Infinity of Heaven.

ermmm ignore argonaut, silverthorn i agree wasnt too good, but darkness at sethanon was really enjoyable and the serpentwar is one of his best,.

also read the mistress of the empire series of his - very good

That book is dope. I read that in old skool

i still like the polar bear with the armor and the gun (right???)

 

[insert-username]

Iorek the bear didn't have a gun. Perhaps you're thinking of his Texas aeronaut friend, Lee Scorseby?

They're going to make a film! Of course it won't be as good as the books, but still worth watching.

Interpretations of the series... How have those who have read the series interpreted it...

One opinion is here... http://www.christian-teachers.org.uk/news/PhilipPullman.htm

I sort of interpret it almost the opposite.
