One of the greats!

This is an amazing conclusion to a fantastic trilogy! We listened to it as a family and all really enjoyed it. My 10 year old daughters were captivated

Love love loved it

Absolutely fabulous book written by a great author. This book is the 3rd and final book in this series and is an inspiration to all young writers out there. This book is fab-u-lous.

Worth it

I've been putting off completing this series since I was a kid. I had never gotten further than the half point of Northern Lights in each of my attempts. That was a failing on my part, because reading isn't exactly my best skill. I realised that these stories were in audiobook format and narrated by the author (which I always feel like it brings an extra element to the story) and I was delighted. I haven't been able to stop, I'm really glad to have finally been able to enjoy His Dark Materials fully in a way that I could connect with. Great story, great performance. Worth the wait.

Enjoyable audiobook

I really enjoyed listening to this audiobook, the narrative by Philip Pullman was enjoyable and the cast makes a huge difference, the ending of the trilogy was sad really, I am sure that you will enjoy this book, it is long but well worth every minute.

Second half stronger than the first

Some of the voice acting in this whole series is irritating at times, it’s a bit overdone, perhaps it’s aimed more at children than adults but it’s like listening to a kids tv show. The voice actor for Lyra is particularly bad.
