The Amber Spyglass: Check!

Well, here we are, mid-February and I've finished the "His Dark Materials" trilogy.  It started out pretty good and went downhill from there.  Bummer.

I just finished The Amber Spyglass, and was pretty disappointed.  Not only was it entirely too long, but it also wandered from the main point and tried to do too much.  I loved The Golden Compass because there was a clear goal in mind (Lyra tries to save Roger) but this one had too many things going on and I was pretty uninterested throughout.


Anyway, I am glad this series is done even though I enjoyed the first book.  Yesterday, in anticipation of finishing this book, I downloaded Emma for free.  I think I will read that next.  As soon as The Return of the King is back in the online library, I will download that to read as well.

Well, this was disappointing.  Hopefully Emma will be more enjoyable.
