I loved Sally Lockhart. Although I didn't really understand the first bit about the Indian Mutiny and such... but then I didn't really enjoy Ruby in the Smoke.

My favourite out of them was probably The Shadow in the North ;_; or The Tin Princess. (But I didn't like Adelaide in TTP).

Overall I still think HDM is way better than everything else of PP, but SL is a close second. ^_^

Adelaide's explanation of why she didn't go to find Sally and everything was kind of lame, at least to me.

I've read the Ruby in the Smoke and I just finished Shadow in the North a couple of minutes ago.

I was very depressed and rather pissed off about that for a long time last night.

I'll definitely be reading the next two books though.

Sally Lockhart used to be my hero...

by **eniamrahc** » Sun Jun 06, 2004 6:59 am

Do you think she's a better character than Lyra?

by **All_That_Jazz** » Sun Jun 06, 2004 7:44 pm

mmmm...no, Lyra has more personality...but the Sally Lockhart books take place in Victorian times, and she was really independent and feministic...I wanted to be just like her.

Woot!

I've always felt that TV, rather than film, was the natural home for the Sally stories, and I'll be delighted if this comes about. I'll put up more information here as soon as I get it. By the way, there will certainly be more Sally stories. I have a couple in my head just waiting for me to have the time to write them.

I've read "The Ruby in the Smoke" and "The Shadow in the North" in French, and I enjoyed it very much. I think the characters have got a really personality, and I love the Victorian time...

I'm reading "The Tiger in the Well" in english, now, and I enjoy it very much too, I think it is even more interesting in English than the translation in French.

There is an historic background, and I can learn a lot of things about History, and, in my case, the Jews.

I prefer Sally to HDM, which book I don't know why, I can't read after the 20 first pages.

And when I'll finish The Tiger, I'll read the Tin Princess...in english too.

I prefer Sally to HDM

It's a shame thats the way you feel. I don't personally think that the two series of books are comparable, despite being by the same author, and both being really great! I read Sally Lockhart after HDM, but that has no bearing for me. I have read all of them and reread them several times

, and I have listened to the audiobooks for all of them loads of times, and they are both simply great. To compare them and find that one is better would be an injustice to the other.

i'm enjoying the shadow in the north quite a bit now (i've only ever had a chance to read the first and third before). it's interesting to hear about the socialist movements going on in the background.

Question for Mr P.

Which way will you vote at the next election?

by **Max** » Sat Mar 26, 2005 10:11 pm

He doesn't actually read this you know...

*Ahem*

I'm not that stupid :roll:

I dunno about you, but at my school I have had it drilled into to me about a zillion times what a rhetorical question is

by **Tomsy** » Sun Mar 27, 2005 12:36 pm

I don't see how that question is rhetorical.

Sorry, you do have a point there. I meant it as a rhetorical question though. Sorry. :oops:

He's hardly about to vote conservative though is he?

I loved Sally Lockhart, too. I think I remember reading them after I finished TGC and TSK for the first time, but I read the Tin Princess before any of them. Although it doesn't fit in the series, it got me into Pullman. I always found Jim to be hot. Anyways, that was years and years ago and I'd really like to reread them. I'm sure there was a lot I didn't understand back then. ::ahem::

And I cried like a freakin' baby at the end of the second one. ::sniff::
