Review # 1 was written on 2020-01-25 00:00:00![]() Has some of the best essays about Pullman's work. I loved reading it - my highlighter and Post-It's definitely got a workout. The essays weren't hard to understand and they answered a lot of my questions about the book and got me thinking about stuff I didn't even consider while reading the His Dark Materials trilogy. I read this book to help me write an essay about Children and their relationship with Darkness, so I didn't exactly read ALL the essays, but I read most (some just because they have interesting titles and subject matter). But I loved the variation on the topics that are discussed in this book. So yeah, if you're looking to understand Pullman's work a little bit better and realize just how epic and HUGE the trilogy is, then pick up this book. I'm aware how hard it it to find helpful and understandable essay books that don't require you to take migraine medication after reading each page, and this is why I enjoyed this book. It wasn't a breezy read - it DID require brain cells and a maybe a few rereads to understand fully - but it was understandable and illuminating - just as the title describes. |
