23. The Amber Spyglass by Philip Pullman

I loved The Golden Compass. Absolutely loved it. So it almost pains me to say that I didn't really care for this book. There were parts of it I enjoyed and I definitely felt compelled to keep reading to see how it ended. But once I was finished...

It seems the Amazon search isn't working again. Bugger. Anyway, I've read yet another in the Series of Unfortunate Events and I rather liked this one. The end.
